Tomorrow is not promised

-
Sometimes in life we take things and the people closest to us for granted (not intentionally), but today my brother loss a close friend of his that he just saw and talked to yesterday. His heart and spirit is broken and this got me to thinking that I sometimes take things and people for granted, not that I do not appreciate the people I love but I have to admit that I am guilty of thinking that some people are suppose to do certain things for me and my feelings, wants and needs should always be taken into account (Like I am a golden child or something...NOT!). I am at a point where I want to be considerate and conscious of how I treat people and really show them that I love and appreciate them. 
We are all special in God's eyes and he put us here to love and care for one another, not take each other for granted. Sometimes we do not appreciate things or people until they are gone and I am at fault of this as well. Sometimes I find myself huffing and puffing when I am asked to do a favor for someone or complaining about things for no dang reason other then hearing myself speak.  Life is not promised for any of us from one moment to the next, so I vow from this moment on to be more conscious of my actions, the words I speak and the energy that I put out into the universe. If I find myself taking people, things and situations for granted then I will shift gears and make a better effort to check myself and change my attitude. God is love and if we are apart of God than we are love as well, it's time to take responsibility for ourselves and recognize are own faults and appreciate the little things in life and the people we love and care about.

The Lord is my Strength

  Writing about my feelings and my daily challenges is not always easy because each day brings a new challenge that I have to face. I came down with Neuro Myelitis Optica (NMO) in 2010 which is a rare auto immune disease that attacks and causes inflammation in the brain, nervous system and spinal cord. I completely lost my ability to walk in July of 2010 and even though I dealt with the major set back of paralysis in my entire body and not being able to talk or communicate like I was use to doing. Life had changed for me in a major way but still through it all I was still faithful, I never asked God why me? Because in reality why not me? While my love ones worried about my life span and if I would make it to the next day I never worried or questioned how long God had planned for me here on this earth because I knew in my heart that I was already healed. God is still healing my body to this day and I remember a time when I wasn't strong enough to hold utensil to feed m...

My therapy

Today August 21st 2013 I had my physical therapy session which went very well, even though it seems like I'm taking baby step towards walking I am making some amazing improvements. Today Meghan and I worked on my standing and taking steps in the parallel bars with 1lb weights which was very hard. We started with me standing straight up and balancing myself which can be a super challenge because I have to get my glute muscles stronger to help hold me up, then we went on to taking some step and I must say I was proud of myself because usually my stamina is so low I can't get passed a minute on the stepping exercise but I was able to surpass my usual goals and made new ones today. I am so bless and so grateful because daily I can see a change in my strength and I know it is my Lord and Savior working in my life.

Smile

Today is one of those days where I had to tell myself to smile, I am a very positive person but I woke up today angry about my situation and being in this wheelchair. Before getting sick I was very nutritious, fit and had re-dedicated my life to Christ. Between working, working out daily, my church activities, acting/dance classes and volunteer services I was a busy lady who enjoyed life. I was also very independent and I was not use to people doing things for me or waiting for others to do for me but this morning my heart was heavy and my mind was clogged because of the changes I have been forced to deal with. Instantly I began to pray but I was still down in the dumps until I had a talk with my brother and he reminded me of how far I have come and all of my accomplishments. He stated that maybe my health situation may not be what I would like for it to be but it could be a lot worst and even through the storms I am still blessed. I am able to live independently with my beautiful prec...
