Tae Kwon Do...Green Belt Testing!

Today marks the one week anniversary of me getting my Green Belt! Quick back story,  I have wanted to start Tae Kwon Do since I was six years old but everywhere we looked was SO expensive, like 100-ish dollars a mouth expensive and so at the time I guess that was just God's way of saying "I don't want you to do this right now, I want to wait until just the right time", so, we prayed and prayed and prayed and then one day my mom walked into the bedroom on a Sunday morning and said she and my dad had a surprise for me when I got up. When I got up I went into the dining room and they told me that I could finally do Tae Kwon Do! My mom found the place on Facebook, a friend had posted about it and how great it was. My mom got in contact with her about it and so, here we are...
It has been an amazing journey! I love Tae Kwon Do, I love my instructor, the friends I've made, the things I've learned, I love everything about Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do is about focus, determination, courage, self-control, respect, patience, in some ways believe it or not gentleness and so much more. I thank God for this opportunity! God had planed this out just right, it happened at just the right time and we found just the right place!


This was some of us Praying together before testing.
I LOVE this picture, its one of my Favorite pictures!

No words can describe this moment with my dad after I got my belt.

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...
