Limitations

Well, it has been some time since I have blogged, and for that I apologize. I do not have a good reason so I won't take up space making one up. haha. I wanted to get peoples opinions on a specific topic. I will explain why I am putting the question out there in a bit.
I am asking people about limitations. What are peoples limitations? Does anyone reading this have a limitation? Who or what defines our limitations? Is your limitation real or imagined? Is it put upon you by others or do you put it on your self?
I believe we all have limitations, we are mortal after all. Some limitations can be limits on our education, or limitations on finances. Other times limitations are more fuzzy, limitations such as whether or not someone can do something. Or, whether someone believes in themselves or not. I understand that we all have to understand what our limitations are and if they are moveable. What do I mean by moveable? Well, let's say our limitation is eduction, we don't have the opportunity to obtain education through the College/University setting due to financial reasons. Well, can that be changed? In my opinion it can, we can always read books or listen to them to educate ourselves on various topics. Attend workshops on various subjects of interest, etc.. That is what I mean by moveable. We change our limitaion of education by educating ourselves, looking outside the box in otherwords.

What if your limitation is a disability? For example I will use me. I am blind and in January I had a flair up in my back that led to a diagnosis of permanent damage to my disks and vertrae. So this is limiting isn't it? OF course it is. But the quesiton is how and is it a moveable limitation? OK, I probably won't be climing Mt Everest! That is a definate "do not do". However there have been blind people who have scaled Everest and otehr mountains as well. So for them they removed that limitation. I recieved an education and obtained a bachelor's degree in December of last year. I did that despite my vision loss, so I moved the limitation so that I could obtain my educaiton.
Now, why do I bring all this up? Lately I have been trying to educate people on Asperger Syndrome, which is what my middle child has. There is to be a 3 day trek in short period of time and He wants to go. I have no problem with him going for he has done it before. He is pretty high functioning in the hiking and outdoors. Well, other people in my church are saying they are gravely concerned. They fear he may have a melt down or something devastating and noone could help.
Now, this is a limitation others are putting on my son. So, as you may see I am not really happy about it. I am working on this the best way I can and trying to educate others on his ABILITIES NOT HIS DISABILITEIS!!! Ok now that I have that off my chest, how do I remove this limitation? I think I will print out some information and give it to my leaders on Sunday and hope that they will listen to the one person who knows him the best. IF that doesn't work, then he doesnt' go. I know that the Lord loves my son very much and He knows him the best too. My son really wants to go and I am praying that things will settle with a positive step in understanidng and not limiting one's potential.
Please give me your thoughts. Have a Great day!
