Life Changes

Today was an interesting day.  I have been pretty speechless because of Encounter Release last night at Without Walls in Lakeland with Pastors Clint Brown and Paula White.  What I have realized about the release we have been experiencing has caused me to re-evaluate some things within my life.  A few years ago at the Judah Conference someone was telling me about the general session, and what I realized at that very moment is that I was making sacrifices that I should not have been making and that God did not want me to make.  I knew then what I needed to do, but I dealt with the situation for a few more months until I finally said BASTA!  Enough was enough.

I have had to say it again.  Enough is enough.  The peace that I have found is now my focus.  I have decided to work towards keeping the peace in my life and to continue to enjoy the things that I have loved and have learned to love.  In high school, I really hated PE and now I am at the point where I enjoy going to work out.  I have realized that a few hours of sweat each day can change your fitness level.  Along with changing your fitness level, I have watched my glucose levels decrease to the point where I no longer need medication to control my diabetes.  That was a wonderful day to hear my doctor say that she is proud of me and I no longer had to deal with daily injections.  Now that things have changed for me, time to get back to the things that I love.

Take time to enjoy the things in life that bring you joy. 

Good night and God Bless

My Keloid Journey

My keloid scars have been a part of my life since I was about five years old. My earring got caught in a boy's sweater and he moved and yanked it right out. As I got older, more scars developed and never knew why or the cause. My childhood with scars was not an easy one because I looked so different than the other kids and they were not very nice to me. Middle school was rough because of PE... OMG, the girls were brutal and that made me very uncomfortable about changing clothes in front of other people. It did not make it easy to help the battle of the fluff. LOL! It was easier to cover them up. I cannot recall the exact time frame, but I recall two doctor's appointments. One was at Lackland AFB and the doctors did not know what my keloids were and wanted to do a biopsy. My dad did not like what he heard and scheduled another appointment with a dermatologist at Fort Sam. The treatment was to inject the scars and that was very painful. My dad could not see me going through t...

A Smile

My smile hides the pain that I feel. Sometimes I think that my life is so unreal. Constant arguing, constant bickering, can I just have five minutes to digest my day? That's when I fall on my knees and pray. Is it wrong to want to live life with peace and love? That’s when I look above. He shows me unconditional love. He provides peace and strength to make it through the day. Just when you think that you cannot go on any longer, HE makes you take a step of faith to show you that you can do it. Once you believe that you can do it, the battle is over. It is all about you believing that He can bring you through it.

Faith

I haven't been able to write anything for quite some time now. What I have forgotten is that writing was my "therapy" and helped me to release my thoughts instead of keeping them all bottled up.  It is hard to try and keep a smile on your face on a daily basis when you feel like your life is in shambles.  That's what happens when you take a risk in life. Sometimes it just doesn't pan out.  Instead of taking one person's opinions to heart, I took a look inward and said, "what could I have done differently?"  I know that the talents God blessed me with man cannot take them away from me. So, I really took the time to focus on the things that were in front of me that needed my attention. What I have learned to value more is my relationship with God and my children.  I have always been the type of person who likes to be in control of certain things and through this time I have had to learn to be patient and let God take control of the things that I rea...
