Strength In Our Differences

I live in Uptown Chicago where there are many homeless people. I have no idea what they have been through. Whether they have been homeless a day, a week, a month, or a year or more, I have no idea what's going on in their lives. I live in a home where there is safety. I have a nice bed, a family that lives close by, friends that live close by, a school, my parents have jobs, and an amazing community that makes good meals. These are things that we need in life and there are people sleeping in the cold or extremely hot weather and some sleep on the concrete where there is no comfortable place to rest their sore painful bodies. What I want us to do is make them know that we are here for them and give them hope  for their future. 

Hi, my name is Muriwai Nicholls, and I have a nub. All my life people have asked me what happened to your arm? I always answer the same way "Jesus made me this way and I LOVE it! I don't care if people give me looks of disgust. I am proud to look different. Besides two hands, two legs, two feet, and so on are overrated. Still, you always will get those looks. The thing that you need to know is don't let them give you those hateful eyes. Show them that's not right to make people feel insecure about how we look. God created me to look this way and don't let those hateful people push you down until you can't get back up. Tell them that my Father Jesus made me this way and I LOVE it! Don't be afraid to show the world how you look. I'm going to say it again, be proud of how you look because we all are beautiful and no one will take your beauty away from you. Thank you for reading😁!   

This is Muriwai's new blog about finding strength in the differences we have.
