Going to a higher place in life is often met with steep climbs, unforeseen adversity and debilitating struggles that leave one with a sense that a better life is not for them, but for someone else. Over the next few weeks Lift Disability Network is emphasizing a vision to believe in the possibly that our\u00a0Struggles<\/em>\u00a0often work in us an\u00a0Elevated Life<\/em>. Take a look at this issue of\u00a0Lift Magazine<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Also, the\u00a0Breakaway<\/strong>\u00a0retreat team is deep into the final preparations for another week of life changing moments for families living with disabilities.

This issue of Lift Magazine is dedicated to struggles.\u00a0 As we face the everyday struggle with disability, many of us grow weary.\u00a0 We thought it would be good to take a moment and show how many of us who write for Lift Magazine have regular ongoing struggles. This is real life. Sometimes we face the mountain and wonder if we will ever come out on top! Or if we do climb to the top, what waits for us on the other side? The great thing about our journey with Christ is that even though there may be a mountain in front of us, He is more than willing to make the climb with us. He knows the best path to take and gives us the right tools to make the climb possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
As you read these articles, we hope you will find encouragement to keep climbing, knowing that everyone struggles. Enjoy this issue of\u00a0Lift Magazine<\/a>\u00a0by clicking on the Summer 2012 cover image above.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
