Thorn in My Flesh: Overcoming Cerebral Palsy (Unabridged‪)‬

Samantha Matthews was born in Texas in 1996. Not long after her birth, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. As a child living with this disability, she had to learn how to overcome many obstacles in life. As the years progress, she grew in determination and resilience to live her best life. Everyone has their struggles and challenges in life. It can be difficult to get people to see the person behind a disability.


By the age of 15 years old, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. This changed the course of her thinking and started her lifelong journey in the Lord. It wasn’t until the age of 22, she discovered the Holy Spirit. It was at this point, the power of God flooded her like a roaring lion creating another warrior for God’s Army. No one should have to go through anything alone. This is her journey!
