ly So the last time I entered a post in this blog, I had just competed for Ms. Wheelchair Tennessee 2016. In that blog, I explained that I felt that the Lord had led me to compete, not to win but to reach out to someone. I did reach out but more than that, people have reached out to me. I have a whole new family of members with disabilities and the wonderful people that do everything they can to enrich our lives.
I had said I would not compete again. In fact, this year I was so honored to be asked to judge. As the cut off date drew nearer and nearer for women to register, my director and I began praying diligently for applicants. One night the Lord impressed on my heart that I should compete. So the next day I turned my application in and here I am, Ms. Wheelchair Tennessee 2019. God indeed blesses us even more than we can imagine.
I am so excited to represent the disabled communities of Tennessee. I will be attending Ms. Wheelchair America 2020 in July in Little Rock, Arkansas.
My platform is to be a resource to those who have found themselves in a wheelchair and the depression that can sometimes follow that. I want to give them hope in so many ways. Life in a wheelchair has given me many opportunities in life that I most surely would not have had. I have met wonderful people that I would not have met. I have experienced things I would not have experienced. I am truly blessed.
So I will try and check in with you weekly and let you know how this journey goes. I have my first television appearance this Friday on GMA Fox Chattanooga. I have added a few pictures from this week.
I love you all and stay tuned.
