Yesterday Dream Center Peoria had special guest, Jean Driscoll share with History Makers Youth and other Teen REACH students her life's experiences and the decisions that changed her life forever. Decisions to press on when life's circumstances told her to give up. Jean was born with Spina Bifita (an open spine) and was thus unable to walk and run to school like her classmates. For years she was pulled in a little red wagon to school. In high school she began playing sports and with dedication and hard work she made it to the Olympics where she won a silver medal!
In college she was confronted by a Christian who kept inviting her to church. The gospel was alive to her and her life was truly changed forever. Her fresh perspective on life lead her to give back to organizations such as Joni and friends. She learned how to be a winner in marathons and life as she presses on to know God more each day. She motivated History Makers youth and other Teen REACH kids to get the most out of their life. They left encouraged to press on towards their goals and dream BIG. Our circumstances may not include a wheelchair, but we all have our difficulties and challenges that we must lean into the wisdom of Our Lord and Savior and trust that He is all about our good and His glory.
