A Letter To My Mom On Mommie's Day

Dear Mom,

Thank you.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make on a daily basis. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for choosing to be our Mom. Thank you for being there, through thick and thin. Thank you for being brave and standing strong. Thank you for caring for us and encouraging us and NEVER giving up on us. Thank you for listening. Thank you for showing me how to love. Thank you for teaching me. Most of all, thank you for leading me to Jesus.

Mom, I love you more then anything! You are truly one of my BEST friends. You teach me something new everyday, you show me things I never would have seen without you. You let me in, you let me be the person that I am and there are no words to describe what that means to me.

You are human and you don't try to hide your mistakes. You show me that though we do make mistakes, we have to repent, learn from them and move on. You show me that there is a way to be imperfect and yet, beautiful.

You have given grace upon grace!

You take every opportunity to show the love of Jesus. You lead me closer to Him. You help me learn more about God, you teach me more about Him. Every time I need advice. Every time I need help seeing the good in the situation. Every time I need to see Jesus in the situation and I turn to you, you are there to show me, to lead me, to encourage me and remind me of the things that are important, the things that are "God things".

I'm not going to lie and say that your perfect, I know you're not. I know you're human, just like the rest of us. I know you make mistakes, I know you mess up, I know you are not everything you want to be but you're you and that's what makes you beautiful. You are beautifully imperfect.

Mom, you have helped me understand when I'm confused. You've put trust in me when I haven't trusted myself, you have given me the courage to trust myself and others. You have calmed me, you have given hugs, you have prayed with me and for me behind closed doors. You helped me through the worst time in my life, you helped me pick up the pieces, you helped me become whole again. You helped put a broken girl back together.

You have been instrumental in shaping me into the person that I am today, for that {and so many other things} I am Grateful and Thankful!

YOU are my hero! I love YOU! And I'm so Thankful God gave me you!

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...
