 Friday Tale - Set Your Limits 

Felicia Grimmenhag of Sweden doesn’t let anything get in her way — even a life-altering injury. 

After surviving a serious car accident, Felicia had to adjust to getting around in a wheelchair. But it didn’t stop her from chasing her dream to become a champion horseback rider. Felicia focused all her energy on getting back on the horse — literally!

 "The horses have meant a lot to me, both mentally and also physically. When I sit on the horse, I don’t feel like the disabled Felicia, I feel like the equestrian Felicia."

 This year (2020), the 25-year-old won silver at the Swedish Championships, and next year, she hopes to compete at the Tokyo Paralympics!

 She said, "What I have learned from all this is that you should dare to challenge yourself, and remember that it’s only you who sets your own limits."

 Everyone who competes in the games
exercises self-control in all things.
They then do it to receive a perishable wreath,
but we an imperishable crown.
~ 1 Corinthians 9:25
