November...30 Days Of Thankfulness, Day Eleven

Day eleven of #30daysofThankfulness: Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn is one of my best friends in the whole wide world! I love Kaitlyn so much, she has been there for me no matter what. Kaitlyn is such a GOOD LISTENER, she's smart, funny, loving, kind, PATIENT, caring, compassionate, totally beautiful inside and out, AND she has a love for Christ! Kaitlyn has a love for Jesus that you can see through her smile. Here's a little bit of our story: Kaitlyn and Peter (my Brother) were best friends, then I came along and after awhile of me trying to fit in with them and tagging along on all their little outings WE became BEST friends. We even had the same car seat! Kaitlyn and I have been through SO much together. You know how in people's wedding vows they say "through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad"? Well, that is kind of how I describe our friendship. Kaitlyn and I have been through thick and thin, sickness and health, good AND bad. We've always stuck together, we've always found each other in those bad times, we've always tried to be there for one another, ALWAYS no matter what. She was (and still is) always there for me during this epilepsy ordeal, to talk, to give hugs, to give advice, and to pray. I love Kaitlyn and she will ALWAYS be one of my Best Friends!

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
