人生不設(shè)限·上帝真的對我有所計劃

這真是超現(xiàn)實、令人驚奇的一刻。我說不出話來(這很罕見)，而當(dāng)?shù)つ釥柼ь^看著我時，我的心都融化了。我想起我小時候從沒見過像自己這樣的人，所以很想知道不是只有我這樣，很想知道我和地球上的其他人并無不同。我覺得沒有人可以理解我所經(jīng)歷的，也沒人能體會我的痛苦或孤獨。

It had been a surreal, awestruck moment for me. I had been speechless (a rarity), and when Daniel looked up at me, my heart had melted. I still thought of myself as a kid, and having never seen anybody else like me, I badly wanted to know I wasn't alone, that I wasn't different from every single person on the planet. I felt that no one really understood what I was going through or could comprehend my pain or my loneliness.

回想起小時候，當(dāng)我知道自己跟別人真的很不一樣時，我承受了極大的痛苦;當(dāng)別人嘲笑我、躲開我時，痛苦更上一層樓。然而此刻與丹尼爾在一起，我感受到上帝無限的仁慈、榮光和力量，而跟這些仁慈、榮光和力量相比，我所受的痛苦根本不算什么。

Reflecting on my childhood, I was struck by all the pain I'd gone through just by being aware of how different I was. When others mocked or shunned me, it heightened the hurt all the more. But compared to the infinite mercy and glory and power of God I was now feeling because of this moment with Daniel, my pain was suddenly insignificant.

我當(dāng)然不希望自己生理上的障礙出現(xiàn)在任何人身上，所以我為丹尼爾感到悲傷。然而我也明白，上帝把這個小男孩帶來給我，是為了讓我減輕他的負擔(dān)。上帝仿佛對我眨了眨眼，說：“看到?jīng)]?我對你真的有所計劃了。”

I would not wish my disability on anyone, so I was sad for Daniel. Yet I knew God had brought this child to me so that I could ease his burden. It was as if God were winking at me and saying, Got you! See, I did have a plan for you!
