"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and he bowed His head, and gave up the ghost". - John 19:30 ARE YOU A VICTOR, OR A VICTIM? I've been on both sides of the ability/disability spectrum. There was a time in my life where "normal" physical abilities were within grasp. …
Faith That Limps
When I created this blog, I gave it the name "Faith With A Limp" for several reasons. My name isn't "Faith," it's actually Leslie - (which most of you know.) If we haven't met, it's nice to meet you! My name isn't Faith, but I definitely do in fact have a bit of a permanent …
Faith Can Move A Mutation
The way up is steep. Challenging. Gritty. Unpredictable. But man, is it illuminating. My mountain looks a little different than most, but I think it's safe to say that each of us ventures up a "mountain" at some point. What does your climb look like? "This mountain didn't seem so daunting at the beginning of …
We Are Stronger With Him
Being in the trenches of affliction is no easy feat. It's terrifying.. and not one person handles it the same. I do believe this, though. You either completely break beneath the weight, or you wholeheartedly accept the fight and soldier-up. If you choose the latter, you're in for the ride of a lifetime. Even as …
SERVICE DOG SEPTEMBER
So it's September, and it's also "service dog month!" September is probably my favorite month out of the year. It's the first "ber" month after the hot summer.

Paws and Flaws
I'm sure you already know who's who here. And if you know me personally, then you definitely aren't a stranger to our journey and relationship. Tippet's role in the life of this nerve tumor warrior has become an iconic one. That's for sure. I've struggled to publish a blog the last several months, as there's …
Changing Colors and Changing Character
Fall colors. They're exquisite aren't they? I feel like every person on this planet can appreciate the Fall season. The cool crisp air, the coffees and the teas, and of course, God's scenic Masterpiece - executed on a Heavenly easel. It's a time of change. A new season with new beginnings and new opportunities. The …
Faith Based, or Fear Based?
I've never been a gambler, or a risk taker for that matter. I've always been a fan of definitive plans, punctuality, sureness, ya know, guarantees . The act of stepping out on a ledge and taking a chance has never been my comfort zone. The concept of making a gamble, or taking a risk to …
Cross Roads of Life
We all get to that point in life, at some point. For many of us, if not the majority of us - we'll reach a pivotal split in the life tracks multiple times. When we hit the cross roads of life, we're inevitably forced to adapt and grow. It's often an intimidating or downright scary …
