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...

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...
