Living the Word Through Physical Challenges: Nothing Taken, Everything Given
There are many among us who are visually impaired in some way- some completely blind, others who can see shadows, etc. but physical blindness doesn’t discount one’s abilities to see in other ways and accomplish great things. In Isaiah 42:16, the Isaiah prophesies about the coming messiah as being one who “will lead the blind by ways they have not known along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the thigs I do; I will not forsake them.”
Rev. Pamela Shaw has been blind since birth, but her disability has not kept her from utilizing her abilities to advocate for herself and others and holding many prominent positions. She has more than 30 years of professional social work experience contributing to the development of policy and practice in the fields of homelessness, community mental health, deinstitutionalization, child welfare, family services and disability rights. Prior to her current position, Pamela was appointed by Governor Edward Rendell to serve as Director of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services.
She holds professional memberships in the American Association of Christian Counselors, the National Biblical Counseling Association and the National Association of Social Workers, and is a member of the Academy that Certifies Social Workers and is a Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. A skilled communicator, Rev. Shaw is frequently an invitational speaker at retreats, conferences and other special events and regularly presents many workshops and seminars around the country.
Original music written, produced, and performed by Jasmine N. Weathers (IG: Jasthanomad)
Focal scripture: Philippians 4:10-13
