Happy New Year

It's a New Year.  This year has taught me many a thing, and I have learned how to truly trust without questioning.  I have learned that while life is not fair, it can be rewarding.  My only hope for 2015, is to continue to follow God, and be happy, no joyful doing such.
It is a privilege to follow You!
God Bless,
R

trusting God

i just have to trust God, in spite of myself.  You are everything!

What Jesus can do

I really don't like looking back, but 2014 was one that brought real life to my doorstep.  It's amazing how two white looking athletic booties, ie braces can bring you to your knees.  I'm starting to see what grace and gratitude are.  It's that A word, we're getting acquainted.  Has life kicked my ass, yes!  I'm starting to love me, and it's quite a foreign concept to me.  I have no more patience for asking why this, why that.  I just need to be.  Cerebral Palsy, will not be the death of me, it may just be what gives me life.
Thank you Jesus for Cerebral Palsy, for it makes me the woman I am.
R
God Bless,

so reflective

In this Christmas season, I received a present:  hope and joy.  As I type this I am recalling times and situations when I received such.  I like seeing the stuff people got this year, I really do, but when i think on the gifts I've received, it's the moments like these that get me the most.

Shopping with my sister
Having wine and a good dessert overlooking Charleston
It's having your nephew scream Gigi, him grabbing my hand
It's the unexpected gifts and phone calls from family.
Christmas joy,
R

finding good

Folks, this season I've been a GRINCH.  i have let the world and others make me happy or not, and frankly, if the world determines my happiness, I'm in trouble.  God, in this season of your birth, I want to be like you in that you came to serve, not the other.
Help me to see life as a gift, people as a instrument to help me and not hamper or cause me pain.
God RESTORE TO ME THE JOY OF MY SALVATION!

looking back

it has come to me of how blessed I am.  I was told yesterday that "Jesus must love me"  It is a privilege, one that I hope I never take for granted.  It's an tear-bringing thought to think that someone must think that Jesus must love me.
R
just as He loves me, He loves YOU!
JESUS LOVES YOU!

I went back to church this Sunday.  I can only say a friend was a start in getting me there.  Every time I came up with an excuse, my heart would keep saying yes.

God is good.

Look!

I know this:  Jesus makes my life matter.  It's why I continue to do this.  I am shocked at how this blog has given me so much.  The fact that you read my words.  I'm just a girl with Cerebral Palsy, who just prays you like what I write.

Frankly, grieving has become a necessary evil.  I am not kind to self, never have been.

I'm not finding the words I want, but these will have to do.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet forfeits his soul?  Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

how to deal with disappointment

I have a simple question.  How do you deal with disappointment?  Disappointment is a part of life, I get it.  Sometimes, it's like I feel the need to be human, and feel disappointment.  It's like if i feel human, I take God out, but right now everytime I try to take Him out, God comes back stronger.

Blessed, Thank the Lord

blessed!  He knows all!

He will never leave you or forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5

Best blessing

It is a blessing when you can love without abandon, show your hearts, let down the walls because you know you can.  And it's sad that I never understood the love of Christ until know.  Braces, an object, is showing me how much I needed a love that I wouldn't give myself.
Sometimes our pain needs to be there.  I hate showing pain.  I need to be seen

What's on your heart?

What's on your hearts?  I don't know who or what I am anymore.  The braces gave me a reality check.  Since then, I'm lost and confused.  I'm straddling fear, indecision, and what's my next move.  I'm afraid.

not one of my best days

It's not one of my best days.  Christ is not in me.  But, it doesn't take much for Him to be there.  He loves me too much not to remind me of His sacrifice.
and with that, I content myself with the fact that He is ALIVE AND WELL in me.
I'm sorry Lord, for you are greater than my discontent, my grievances.  Temporary.

learning

Walking on the treadmill with the braces on was an experience.  I have adjusted well to the braces.  it's amazing.  the saying is true.  i worn them(the braces) and you truly dont forget.  you never know why stuff happens, but He the God of all creation is great.  As I've said before, I took life for granted.  if i could, i would beg you not to.
In these 31 years, it was only until two weeks ago, that I realized my lack of judgment.
tears are falling now.

Loss

It is in life we find the things that really matter, we find that life is not fair, but it is ok.  it's ok to feel.  it's ok to not know.  Two weeks and your life can be better, not in a conventional sense.  My heart is crying, my heart is feeling.  I have no luxury to deny, no luxury to ask.  Answers are inconsequential.  My filter is off, that's why I measure my words more carefully.  With acceptance comes loss, and it's a loss I'm still mourning.
If you can, don't take for granted the simple things, like I did.

la dolce vita

These past weeks have been some of the most painful yet humbling experiences of my life.  The braces are making me make a choice.  one to be ok, more than ok.  its letting me shed the careful craftiness of  a facade i curated so long ago, thinking i was normal.
let me tell you, normal no es mi.  My heart knows pain, joy, heartache, heartbreak, joy again, suffering and redemption.  I am not normal.
What i once wished for, God didn't grant.
i prayed for normal...i will never be that...
I AM HIS!
When I grow up what do I want to be, because normal is no longer an option

Scared, but thankful

I got my braces today, and it was an adventure.  The experience was humbling, shocking and awesome all at once.  I was humbled.  God knows what He does and is doing!  It was an experience I won't forget.  I just am blessed!  So thank you!
Some days restore, some days just make us.
I can be mad, but it doesn't serve my purpose.
And frankly, i can't do it.
i have to laugh, for in laughter masks the tear.

I try on the braces tomorrow. Bitter yet sweet day!  I don't know if I will laugh or cry.  I'm terrified.  I thought I'd not have to have to wear them again, but sometimes reality is none too kind.  Will the braces define me,...Sorry y'all, reality, mine has set in and the truth is hard to take in.
R

Up early!  I feel weak, I need God!  Emotions running wild.  I don't feel strong. I feel like cracked, frayed. I disdain this feeling. God is speaking, but I'm afraid to execute the objective.

I have to go back to wearing leg braces. I'm finally letting myself acknowledge the pain. Have I let my body down. Have I let myself. Did I get lazy, complacent thinking I had defeated CP.  I can't typr the word. Denial, I know.
I'm in pain.   Right now, I am questioning writing such a scathing post.   Looking at this realistically has kept me from letting myself feel the pain.
Finally letting the tears fall.

This is scary

Folks, this is scary!  I'm afraid of being hurt.  I'm scared of letting you see me. I'm afraid to show the scars, the pain. I read a quote a few minutes ago. It's one that is making me type this at the moment.  Have I not fully accepted my disability, my beauty, my everything. Does letting you, where ever you are, scare me?  Shitless!  Would I love to be issueless,  yes!  Do I wonder if I can reconcile who I am in the mirror.  Is it painful to admit, I love the Creator, but not His creation. I can't believe I'm doing this.  When you read these posts, blessing overwhelms me.

I HATE complaining, because I know there are worse problems in the world.   I need a makeover, and one a wardrobe, can't provide.  I feel like this is complaining.  But, it's honest, it's pure in that while I still care what you think, I am still typing.  Just breathing now is a relief. It's when accepting our flaws, do we accept our humanness.

Decision

Decide to follow Christ with a heart that is grateful.  Why is so hard to be grateful?  I have a reason why, but it's not a good one. For me, it all comes to a choice.  A decision that I make.
Being grateful.  A whole hearted thing!

La vie

Seasons change, but I hope my essence does not.  I needn't detest life or its circumstance. I need to just be.  Eloquence is eluding me. I would apologize, but I shan't. God bless you all!

Return to me the joy of my salvation.

R

Sometimes you need a kind kick

Today I spent time with a great friend, and I must say I got laughs, constructive criticism in a loving way.  We went shopping, but it was depressing.  Nothing I liked,fit or was in my size.  But it wasn't until I got home really that it hit.  I was exhausted.  Physically yes, mentally, you can only imagine.  I realize I wanted my health back. I needed my confidence. The one who was proud of CP, and the conquering spirit.  The one who enjoyed shopping more than eating.  Am I ashamed to admit this?  YES. Am I scared of what you might think of me?  YES. And that is part of my problem. I care too much about shit that doesn't matter!

Will I conquer fear, love, self loathing and acceptance in a day?

I don't need to answer that.  I know the answer, and so do you.

Pray for me, if you could.

God be with you and me,

It's a struggle

I try too hard.  I try too hard, and sometimes it hurts. I guess I'm seeking validation in others and it doesn't work. I'm not very patient.  It hurts to list out your flaws for the world, but I need to acknowledge that perfection is not the goal.

Almost 31

The Birthday is approaching and I worried about posting such because it would be narcissistic, but then I thought, just don't think, post. I don't have 31 things, I've learned. I find learning isn't ever done.   This is what I'm learning:
Things happen when they do.
You will be surprised.
You will be humbled.
Rome wasn't built in a day a day, and neither were you
You will fall
You will fail
Life will teach you to rise up
God bless and be merry!

I never knew being Christlike would be so hard.  Sometimes it's so hard to love like He did.  He still loves, don't get me wrong. I guess that is why there is one Him and many of us.  To what point do we give up our need to be right and give others the pass of " they know not what they do"?

I'm glad to call you mine.

My body the temple

I have realized as I try to get healthy, ahem who am I kidding lose weight, that I don't treat my body like the temple it is.  I criticize it's lack of stamina and flexibility.  I whine because it's not skinny.  I whine about my big butt.  I hate those calloused feet.  I see the scars, and I thank God, and yet I wonder what would have been.  I even wonder if my posts are redundant.
I then look at a well timed card, about faith and a mustard seed, and I can only smile a wry grin of yes, Lord, I believe.

And the apostles said to The Lord, "Increase our faith!"  "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."

When reality stings

This week has been an interesting one.  I keep deleting posts if enough people don't read them or comment.  I feel lazy, not posting pieces I can feel good about.  I'm wanting instant gratification.  I am wanting to feel good.  Misery loves company...I'm not miserable, I just want things the way I want them.  Control, something I want restrains.  Retraining my brain is a daily exercise.  Thinking for me is not a good thing for me.
Not a proud moment.  Reality doesn't bite, it just stings.
I know it doesn't make sense, but right now I know I just need to write.

Seeing the light

Often in the past I wondered what my life would have looked life if I would have been born with Cerebral Palsy, and these days I can't imagine my life without CP.  I have been taught what it is to live with a joy, a perspective on what compassion can look like.  The why of life is becoming less important.  The way of why I was made this way.  I think I will always wonder, but the pain incurred has lessened.  Putting the pain in words has given me an outet to let it all out.
Coming to terms with the thing I hated the most may be my greatest accomplishment.

Making a difference

I have been uneasy about whether to post this post, but 1.  When you give your word, you honor it, and two, when you ask God to serve others or be a blessing to another you do it.  I know how blessed I am, and I honor my word.  A friend of mine, from my alma mater, Lander University is pushing past physical pain to be a blessing to humanity.
My friend, Cameron Dorn, is attempting to do 10,000 Burpees in 24 hours, which would be a world record.  As a result of this attempt and hopeful completion, 2 organizations of significance to Cameron will benefit.

The reason I finally have chosen to post is that I realized that God has provided me an opportunity through Cameron to help others, and it read a post by Elizabeth, a fellow blogger,.

"It is not the man who stumbles". Theodore Roosevelt
To whom much is given much is required.

Stepping out in faith

Having faith is scary, for we must put our faith in the things unseen.  I have a placard on my wall with the verse.  Faith is not about me, it's about the trust I put in Him.  In my humanness I need that Figure that washes away my unbelief.  He is the I AM.  I pray to be bold, un afraid to be bold and seek the Kingdom of The Almighty.

This is post number 500!  I could never have believed the response.  I am so blessed!  To God be the Glory.  I have been riddled with anxiety lately.  My scripture for today is Joshua 1:9, and following its command will test me.  Accepting that I'm human is difficult, but necessary.  I am grateful and sincerely appreciative that you choose to spend some of your day with you.  Thank you and as we say in Spanish:  Que Dios te bendiga!

God Bless,

Grateful

Grateful for this platform to share my happiness, my joy, my struggle, my shame.  I am grateful that you keep coming back.  I may not meet you physically, but my heart knows you. God Bless you!  A milestone is coming up.  I will share later on today.

God Bless,

CP and Christianity

This weekend I enjoyed one of life's greatest pleasures:  I got to see one of my nephews, Andrew.  Yesterday, when I had a spare moment of quiet time, I wrote out three things Cerebral Palsy has given me.  Cerebral Palsy has led me to faith, understanding and compassion.  Now it also tested the very things it has given to me.  It has also led to truth, a reality I may not always like.  I have always asked why?, but it bears no fruit.  God has me here to bear fruit.
So many of you have inspired me to be or rather revel in being a Chosen Child of God.
Thank you to Dee and Lauren, my pen pals. Thank you all, I am blessed and grateful!
With appreciate thanksgiving!

Good night and God Bless!

God is good

I realize I need God everyday, not some days.  God will help me fix or find solutions to my problems if I like it.  He is equipping me.  As one of my favorite songs says; "I'm getting back to The Heart of Worship". The act of surrender may be the most selfless act.

Praise and. Worship

My heart is just thinking back on some of the most powerful worship songs I  know.
I am singing, " I want to be holy, set apart for You, my Master Ready to do Your will."
