Amazing Alex

Two years ago I was blessed by the amazing and victorious story of Alex Malarkey. Every time I have the privilege of spending time with Alex and his family I walk away incredibly awestruck by God's amazing grace!! It only takes about 5 minutes to realize that Alex Malarkey is a MIRACLE and God has big things in store for him. After watching the "Alex Movie" that the family gave to me during my first visit, my girls began praying for Alex just about every single night. One time they started praying that Alex would have good dreams. When I shared this with his family, his father just about doubled over with disbelief. Alex had recently been struggling with some very bizarre dreams. I cannot begin to fully represent in this one post the depth in Alex's spirit. He is witty, smart, and determined. He will tell you himself that he doesn't have a disability...he has a differability!

As you might be able to tell, there are hardly words for what I feel in my heart for Alex and his family. His mother is one of the most humble, God seeking, and Jesus loving women I know. Her days are full of what many would not have the patience or endurance to do, yet she does it with a deep love and compassion for the good of her children. She is one of my heros! She has taught me so much about faith, digging deeper, and even more so about the challenges families face when they have children with spinal cord injuries. The challenges seem insurmountable because of the buracracy, red tape, lack of knowledge, and apathy. However, even when discouraged, she is always looking up!! One of the songs that became her cornerstone was "Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns. My girls go ballistic when they hear it on the radio calling it "Alex's Song." This song has touched me to the core of my being as well because it reminds me that I need to listen to the "voice of truth" in the midst of a world full of lies, straight from the pit of hell. We need to claim the victory! This is what Beth Malarkey strives to do every day!!

Again, I feel so privileged that God has crossed our paths. I urge you to please learn about Alex and his family by clicking on his website. I then also urge you to commit to praying for this family and Alex's healing.
