November...30 Days Of Thankfulness, Day Twenty- Nine

Day twenty-nine of #30daysofThankfulness:

Forgiveness.

Forgiveness is so hard to get and to give! Forgiveness is something that we all need and we all have trouble giving.

To me forgiveness is something God gave us so we should strive to give it to others. I feel like forgiveness is important. Forgiveness is something God has commanded for everyone. I have people in my life that I need to forgive, people that have wronged me in ways you can't even imagine but even though they have done AWFUL things, God has commanded me to forgive them.

Forgiveness is great! Forgiveness is something that we take for granted sometimes. We tend to forget that forgiveness is a gift, one that we all need! Forgiveness is something God helps us do, we can't go at it alone and if we try, we will fail. God helps us forgive the people who have done little things and the people who have done the biggest, worst things we could ever imagine. God helps us forgive, no matter what the person has done, He always helps us forgive.

Forgiveness is something I have struggled with for a long time. I have had a lot of trouble forgiving some people but I know that God is going to help me. He is going to help me forgive, I don't know when but I do know that I will someday be able to forgive these people...with God's help.

Someone once told me "you might forgive them tomorrow, you might forgive them next week or you might never forgive them". I think that that is wise but I also think that to some extent it is not true. Because if you ask God to help you with something and you truly want help with it, He will help you. He will give you the help that you need to forgive.

I believe that God is going to help me forgive the people who have wronged me, because I truly want to forgive them.

Not forgiving doesn't just hurt the people that you're not forgiving, it also hurts you. A lot of people think that it's just hurting the people they're not forgiving, but in reality the people they're not forgiving aren't really the ones that they are hurting.

God has given us the gift of forgiveness, so we need to give it to others! It may be one of the hardest things you've ever done but it is SO rewarding! SO worth it! SUCH an amazing feeling!

Thank you God for forgiving us. Please help us forgive others.

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...
