I would appreciate the opportunity to tell you about myself and a
very special project that I am working on. Also, to tell you how
God has opened doors and confirmed that this is where I am to be and
what He would have me doing.
First, allow me to introduce myself and explain my mission. My name
is Jason Rodie, I am a 26 year old with mild Cerebral Palsy.
My mission is to demonstrate to others that they don't have to
accept their condition as limiting and instead they can open up a
world of possibilities.

About a year and a half ago I was praying for God to give me
direction for my Life. When He answered, I knew it was just what I
was searching for. I was going to change my present physical
condition, my spiritual condition and my mental state. I knew that
the limitations people placed on my having Cerebral Palsy were not
what God wanted. Instead, He wanted me to know that with Him, there
were no limitations.
I could improve my physical condition,
through prayer and positive input and change my life. I always
believed that with physical conditioning and prayer that I could
strengthen my body and mind and do what others said I couldn't.
People thought I should accept my condition and learn to operate
within it's boundaries. God said to look outside the box. That He
wanted me to make the changes in myself, document and video tape it
and then share it with others, with mild limiting physical
handicaps.
Then, the ultimate goal is
to have a camp for kids to come and learn the program and change
their lives forever, with unlimited possibilities, learn for
themselves how to implement what God taught me and let them see that
all things are possible and that they can believe that it is
possible to go beyond the limitations others believe exist, with
their condition.
So, I have stepped out in Faith and am determined to fulfill God's
dream for me. I prayed for God to close the door if this was not
the direction He would have me go in. But God, continued to open
door after door, to confirm to me that I was right where He wanted
me to be. He opened the door for my workout to begin in March of
this year. It has been incredible and already I have made
progress.
I have begun video taping my workouts
and journaling the whole process. I have been searching for sponsors
to finance the workout. In the meantime, to pay my bills, I have
been working with 2 kids with disabilities. One has a chromosome
deficiency and the other a brain injury. As part of my
training I do:
- Physical training
- Massage
therapy
- Physical
therapy
- Water
workouts
- Boxing
-
Strength
shoes
*The severity of CP is different
with all of us, please don't jump into any of the workouts above
without a proper physical examination first to make sure none of
these training methods will result in injury.
This is very time
consuming and yet I still need to have more money to pay for
my cost of living. I trust God and therefore, keep moving forward.
It is by His grace that I am able to see this dream come true. I am
26 and just learning that I don't have to accept the limitations
that come with Cerebral Palsy.
To be able to share that with a young
child and see their eyes open up to the possibilities at their young
age...what a difference that will make in their lives. What a
blessing that will be. The ultimate goal is to have a camp for kids
to come and learn the program and change their lives forever, with
unlimited possibilities.
Let me close by saying that I will never give up on what God has
begun. I trust that what He started He will complete. This is an
opportunity to show support that will inevitably benefit so many
kids. I greatly appreciate your time and consideration.
Thank you and God Bless.
Sincerely,
Jason Rodie |
