November...30 Days Of Thankfulness, Day Eleven

Day eleven of #30daysofThankfulness: Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn is one of my best friends in the whole wide world! I love Kaitlyn so much, she has been there for me no matter what. Kaitlyn is such a GOOD LISTENER, she's smart, funny, loving, kind, PATIENT, caring, compassionate, totally beautiful inside and out, AND she has a love for Christ! Kaitlyn has a love for Jesus that you can see through her smile. Here's a little bit of our story: Kaitlyn and Peter (my Brother) were best friends, then I came along and after awhile of me trying to fit in with them and tagging along on all their little outings WE became BEST friends. We even had the same car seat! Kaitlyn and I have been through SO much together. You know how in people's wedding vows they say "through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad"? Well, that is kind of how I describe our friendship. Kaitlyn and I have been through thick and thin, sickness and health, good AND bad. We've always stuck together, we've always found each other in those bad times, we've always tried to be there for one another, ALWAYS no matter what. She was (and still is) always there for me during this epilepsy ordeal, to talk, to give hugs, to give advice, and to pray. I love Kaitlyn and she will ALWAYS be one of my Best Friends!

Silent Pain.

I just recently read a blog post about silent pain. It was like it was talking about me. Though the girl that wrote it and I deal with pain about completely different things and hers is much more serious, we still deal with pain and we hold it in. Unfortunately, she didn't say anything until it was to late. Until it had already broken her. I don't want to do that. I don't want this pain to break me. I don't want to lose a part of myself because of this pain. So, I am going tell you about my pain. Not to make you feel bad for me, not so that you can pity me, but because... I want to inspire others. I want to inspire you. I want to share my journey with you, I want you to be a part of my journey. And I don't want this pain to break me. I walk down the aisle in Wal-mart, in the hallway at the hospital where my dad works, at church, in the car, at home, anywhere and it seems like everywhere I go there are flickering lights (flickering lights are a major seizure trig...

Let it be all for you, Lord. Here I am.

It's a scary thing to not know if you're dying from a terrible illness. It's a scary thing to look at life with the perspective of a dying person. It's a scary thing to question yourself, to micromanage yourself, to try to make sure you tell all your people you love them and try to explain just how much...just in case. It's scary, broken, terrifying, it makes my insides...it breaks me, it is scary...I don't know how to describe it. Maybe because I don't want to, maybe my heart is just breaking and I just can't get there. I can't really go there and really try to sort through it...I'm not sure, but I do know that I can physically feel the ache. Not getting stuck in the "what if?" and vain imaginings. Not trying to escape it all. Trying to live right here. To sit, just sit here and watch as God works and does wonders too many to declare...is really hard. It is so hard fighting to surrender and truly rest here. To truly, genuinely accept...
