A heartbreaking story about a baby born without arms or legs who faces rejection from her own parents while fulfilling her divine purpose from God will inspire and encourage you today.
Amy Brooks was born without arms or legs due to an extremely rare condition known as Tetraphocomelia. Dr. Michael Alexander tried to persuade Amy’s mother to accept her, but she refused. Her biological parents left her at the hospital and asked if they could “put her in a room and not feed her.”
God, on the other hand, had bigger plans for her. Amy was adopted by Janet Brooks and her family, who raised her as one of their own. They taught her everything she knows and, more importantly, to never say I can’t but instead to try.
She is now a motivational speaker and author who signs autographs with her tiny arms, does her own makeup, and eats her food without assistance. She believes that “attitude determines altitude.”
She believes that when we stop acting like victims and start showing up to offer God who we are, something happens. She believes that each of us is born with a holy and divine purpose.
“God doesn’t make mistakes,” she says, adding that even though she wasn’t supposed to be here, she is. She is a joyful, exuberant, and faithful Christian whose vision is to glorify Christ by demonstrating His saving grace to the unbeliever and encouraging those who already know Him. What an inspiration Amy Brooks is to the entire world; her never-say-die attitude and faith in God have a powerful impact on all of us.
