chasing dreams

   This is only seven days into my challenge of writing a post every day, but I am going to finish what I started.  There is nothing worse than defeating yourself from the very beginning.  I find myself doing that quite often now that I am old enough to realize is going on in my little head, I fight harder in order to beat the odds of my condition.
    Actually knowing that I have the condition makes me more thankful each day that I have 22q because I would not be me if I had something else.  There are so many things that I would like to say on this blog, but no words could describe what it is like to be in your own little world, without having a leader. I mean I had wonderful leaders, but no one could pin point exactly what was wrong. I am glad however, because if I had known at an early age that I have a syndrome, I probably would not have pushed myself to accomplish what I was able to accomplish.
    So many people see what is on the outside and they fail to take their visors off for a minute to see the persons "heart condition." I k now that people probably knew something was wrong as they would stare out my asymmetrical smile or wonder why I could not understand directions like a normal child would understand them.  I was taught that every child learns in their own way and that is what I will still tell anyone that asks me.
    I am not ashamed anymore to talk about my syndrome and I am praying for strength to be able to open up more about it and let people know that it is okay to be them. It is okay to be different and it is okay to not fit in exactly how the crowd says.  If I had been part of the crowd, I know I would not have as much strength as I do now to keep going.  God was preparing me for the road ahead in my own little special way.
     Still there is a lot I wish I could have accomplished, but I am so thankful that I was able to go through as much as I did and still come out on top of the world, just like any normal person. I believe that everyone has their own journey or path to follow and we must be the person to find that path.  God gave us all sense enough to follow our own dreams because those dreams are something no one can take away from us. So fight the fight, pray without ceasing and drink coffee! ( or whatever it is that helps you keep one foot in front of the other.)   #dreamchaser#22q#beblessed

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Fantastic Friday

“To make this as simple as possible, let me say it this way: justification is all about Jesus. Jesus’ work, not our works, saves us. Jesus’ life, not our own life, is our hope. Jesus’ death, not our religious works, is our payment. Jesus alone forgives sin. So, we’re to repent of our sin to Jesus. Jesus alone gives righteousness. So we trust in Jesus for our justification. Our justification is not accomplished in any part by our own work, morality, or religious devotion. Justification is accomplished by Jesus plus nothing, and Jesus plus anything ruins everything.”   Mark Driscoll “Sometimes we’re so focused on our desired blessings that we fail to stop and thank God by remembering the blessings we already have in Christ .” Mark Driscoll    Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1 Prayer-- Lord, help me realize that the World d...

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
