November...30 Days Of Thankfulness, Day Six

So, I'm a little late posting this but here it is nonetheless. Today and for the next seven days I will be talking about specific people.

Day Six of #30daysofThankfulness: I am so Thankful for my dad! He is such a good person and has so much to offer the world. I love him so much and I am so Thankful that God gave him to me. He is amazing, hard working, sweet, loving, caring, always aiming to please, totally great, and did I mention amazing? And best of all, an Awesome Christian! My dad loves the Lord with all his heart! He has helped us grow closer to the Lord. I am so Thankful because as I look at the world today I see so many dads abandoning their families, I see irresponsible dads, dads that don't care about leading their families to God. So, the fact that I have a dad that is here, always here no matter what, a dad that is very responsible and a dad that strives to lead us closer to Christ makes me so beyond happy and Thankful! I also see some families who don't have dads because unfortunately their dad has passed away and that makes me realize how completely beyond blessed I am to have my dad here with me. God has blessed me with a wonderful, absolutely awesome dad! So, today and every day I am Thankful for my dad!

    I remember Mrs. Martha (Gracie's physical therapist) saying about your daddy, "If more little girls had daddies like him, the world would be a much better place." So very, very true. I'm awfully thankful for him, too! :)

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...

We Have a Choice

It's my choice. I can feel less than. I can feel not enough. I can feel like I'll never measure up. I can feel like the grass is always greener on the other side. I can believe the lie that I'm not making a difference. I can believe that I'm alone, that I'm the only one chasing these dreams. I can believe that it's all about me. OR I can know and live truth that it's not about me. I am less than without Jesus. I am not enough without Jesus. I will never measure up without Jesus. The grass is always greener where you water it. I am making a difference because of Jesus. I am not alone because of Jesus. It is all about Jesus. I'm combating the lies! The lies Satan pours over me. The lies I'm drowning in. The lies that I'm letting stop me from pursuing the things of God. The things He is laying on my heart to pursue. I am in a season of beginnings, of new and different, of remembering, of working through big, hard things. As I...

My Hallelujah Song.

Today is one of those really bad days. You know, the kind of day where your heart hurts even when something wonderful happens? The kind of day that makes you want to cry about every little thing? The kind of day that makes you almost hate the things you love? Yeah, today has been that kind of day for me. Today has kind of stunk! It has been rough and my heart is hurting. Today is the every once in a while day that we call "I hate Epilepsy day". It comes every couple of weeks or months and it doesn't stay long but while it's here, it hurts! It breaks our hearts and it makes us cry and basically, it just plain stinks, big time!! I have cried more times then I can count today. Why? You may ask. Because, it stinks to have Epilepsy sometimes! Now, please don't get the idea that I hate Epilepsy, even though everything I've said so far has pointed to that very thought. I LOVE having Epilepsy!! I love that the Lord gave this illness to me!! It is a gift and I am...
