Sergio’s Wife-Video

We had this crazy idea to turn our old blog posts into videos.  At first the task seemed daunting.  How were we going to find the time to film and edit?  But we were determined!

We had so much fun filming this video, and for a lot of it we just let the camera roll and pretended it wasn’t there.  Those are the best moments to capture, the pure, raw unfiltered moments.

One Sided Coin

Recently I felt myself in a free-fall and had no idea how to slow it down, let alone stop it. I was over whelmed at work and I felt the demand it has on my every day life. I was overwhelmed with taking care of my family while trying to balance work. I wasn't eating...

The Darkness

Have you ever reached a point in your life when you felt there was no way out of the deep hole you’ve found yourself in?  I found myself here a long time ago, not by choice, but by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I can remember it as if it just happened...

Raised With a Wheelchair

Being raised with a wheelchair might make people think that my childhood was sheltered. That his wheelchair would have hindered us as a family. I don’t think that at all. He still did all the things any normal dad would do. His wheelchair taught everyone in our family...

The Day I Found Out I Couldn’t Walk

Being a man that's lived in a wheelchair for over 20 years I've learned a few things. I've witnessed and experienced that one can have a successful fulfilling life while still living in a wheelchair.   I find that I am in a good place now, at least the place...

If The Walls Could Speak!

If the walls could speak in our house, I wonder what they would say. I'm not sure what they would say about the first 90 years of their existence, because we only started roaming around these walls since 1997. That was when Norah and I were introduced to the place...

Me Facing the Incline

                                Me, Facing the Incline Pictures of me in the past can be hard, that's because I am not the same person as the woman in those pictures. I usually would not...

The Chair- Video

We had this crazy idea that 2018 would be the year of video.  We weren’t sure how to approach, but ultimately we decided to turn a few of our old blog posts into videos.  We went back through the archives and knew we had to turn The Chair into a video.  We’ll let the video speak for itself!

 

 

We had so much fun making this video!  And we are very proud of the results.  Comment what you think of it, we love to hear your opinions.  If you want to watch more of our videos subscribe to our Youtube Channel.  Let us know what you want to see.

Sergio

The guy in the chair, who lost his ability to walk, but found his mobility through a change in his heart. A change when his mind was awakened by the gift of Purpose.
“And your life will be brighter than the noonday.
Its darkness will be like the morning.” Job11:17

Writing Hurts

It’s Not The Wheelchair
