November...30 Days Of Thankfulness, Day Sixteen

Day sixteen of #30daysofThankfulness:

Kids. I am SO beyond Thankful for kids!

I love kids. I love all the little weird things about kids, their giggles, their smiles, their craziness, their snuggles, everything about them.

I have loved kids my whole life. I used to help mom with my little sisters, I used to carry around a doll everywhere I went, I would play with every baby I could get my hands on. That's me now minus the doll and my sisters aren't little anymore so its a bit different.

Now I get to hang out with kids in children's choir at my old church (which we still go to on Wednesdays because we don't have Wednesday night service at Grace). I love hanging out with them every Wednesday and I look forward to it every week.

Kids are such a blessing...even when they're throwing a tantrum. ;)

They are a gift from God and I am so Grateful and Thankful for them!

God has blessed me with having a gift or bond with kids and I am so Grateful for that!

Kids put a smile on my face, they melt my heart and there's something about them that makes you fall in love with them. They look you in the eye, smile, and there you go, you're hooked.

It doesn't matter how old or how young, they all melt my heart in different ways. Somehow they all have that ability, to in an instant flash those cute adorable eyelashes and that cute adorable smile and that's it.

There is, as always, two sides to the coin. One being the cute, adorable, melt your heart, make you fall in love, side and the other being the tantrum throwing, screaming, yelling, being upset and mad at you side but for some reason I love both.

Kids are a blessing from God and I am Thankful!

Thank you God for the amazing gift of kids.

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...
