- Meet Faye Acuff, a woman born with medical challenges that have shortened her arms, and affect her heart and lungs. In this inspiring interview, Faye shares her journey of facing challenges and adapting to do things differently due to her challenges. From learning to do simple things like feeding herself and using the bathroom to trying and ultimately deciding against using artificial arms, Faye's story is one of resilience and determination. Listen as Faye shares her thoughts on using the word “birthmark” instead of "disability" and her experience learning to drive a manual transmission car and tractor at a young age. God has transformed her throughout her life to be the strong, dedicated leader she is today. This video is sure to leave you feeling motivated and inspired.
Amen and amen! She is beautiful inside out! An absolute joy! I’ll never forget the first day I met her at Mt Pisgah Academy. She was ‘trying’ - my term! - to unlock her room door. Of course I dashed to assisted only to be told “I can do this!” And she did! I was amazed and continue to be amazed by this woman who did not and does not allow ‘inconvenience’ to limit her zest for life or limit her ability to live fully and completely for Him! May God continue to bless her! Mary McPherson Davis
To know her is to love her. She brings joy and laughter every time you are around her.
Faye, you supported me, emotionally. I met you at Southern. You were a dorm monitor. I admired your gentleness of spirit. You were like a song we didn’t have to hear a melody for-so I briefly shared my guitar with you. Your playing was beautiful. But everything you did was well thought and well done.
She is an amazing woman. It is so easy to be judgemental but, just listening to this woman, you know that you could talk to her about anything and not be judged, very rare in life.
beautiful story about the sweetest lady
Inspiring story of overcoming "inconvenience". Thank you. This was so full of encouragements.
Love you so much, you have meant the world to my family. I could only wish to be half as intelligent and strong as my dear friend Faye. Happy Sabbath.
I love you and your story! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!
Your Father was awesome! So loving and patient to help you to overcome your inconveniences 😇
your parents were God given for sure to support and encourage you in this life...God's hands touch you and you spread that love to others
Beautiful story. I have to apologize for the early work of therapy trying to change you to what you’re not. I am an occupational therapist but a bit younger than you (not by much). I remember some of the early years in the late 1980s when therapy was using assistive devices a little bit more than was necessary. Such as having people use prosthetic arms that gave them no extra purpose. This was usually when they had one arm gone, and everyone else thought they needed to replace the one that was lost when most of the time, giving them a prosthetic arm was just a hindrance. I love your story. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Faye, I needed to hear this today. Your testimony is inspiring and uplifting. I remember you from academy- GCA- and you were always an inspiration back then too.

It's not a handicap unless you let it just have to learn how to do differently
Your life very inspirational, but, SDA, no. Jesus fulfilled ALL the law.
