You may be asking yourself, who is Nick Vujicic? Well I can answer your question. He was born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia. He was not a normal baby though; he was born with no limbs.

Nick Vujicic was born to nurse Dushka Vujicic, and her husband Pastor Boris Vujicic. This came as a surprise to the family, considering there was no evidence of it when he was in the womb. His condition would not only affect his family, but many others too. As he was growing up, he had many issues with bullies, loneliness, anxiety and self confidence issues. He made it through school and began to realize his purpose in life. God was calling him to share his story for his kingdom. He went on to study Financial Planning and obtained a double Bachelor’s degree from Griffith University in Logan, Australia.

After college, he moved to California and started an organization called "Life Without Limbs." Now, he travels the world to share his life changing story. As he says "If God can use a man without arms and legs to be his hands and feet, then he will certainly use any willing heart." He has changed many lives with his passion for Christ.

I chose Nick because he truly inspires me. I think my life is hard and I look at him and become humbled. He once spoke at our church and I was amazed at how he never gave up. Whenever I feel down, I can just think of him and he will cheer me up and force me to realize how great I have it.

I hope this story has impacted yours as well as many others. Just think how great you have it compared to Nick. Don't complain about little problems. Nick, if you ever get the chance to read this, I want to say thank you for your life story of inspiration and hope.
