  • Pushing Through (Excellence - Chapter 5)
    Published on FCA Resources (https://fcaresources.com) Home > Pushing Through (Excellence - Chapter 5) Pushing Through (Excellence - Chapter 5) n/a Ready: "Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer." ?Romans 12:12 "Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time." ?Marabel Morgan Set When Jean Driscoll was a teenager, she had all of the same negative ideas about wheelchairs as everyone else. They were cumbersome and limiting, and using one meant the end of any shot at a normal life. And that?s exactly how she felt when, as a high school sophomore, she was forced to use one herself. ?I thought my life was over,? Driscoll candidly says. It took another 10 to 15 years for Driscoll, whose condition was caused by spina bifida, to learn that her life was in fact not over. It was just beginning. And then in 2002 at a Bible study, she stumbled across Daniel 7:9 ? a passage that confirmed what God had been revealing to her all along: ?As I kept watching, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white like snow, and the hair of His head like whitest wool. His throne was flaming fire; its wheels were blazing fire.? By then, Driscoll had already come to understand the purpose behind her disability. Many years of life experience and spiritual growth separated her from the pain, hurt and confusion that surrounded her childhood and teenage years. But that didn?t make her discovery any less inspiring.
