What's on your heart?

the blog that God has allowed me to have is two tomorrow, and I am blessed by the friendships I have made, the love and encouragement, and the fun i have as well.
It is a blessing, that all started with the encouragement of one of my greatest and best friends!

Surrender

All these years i have fought surrender, and I guess I got tired of fighting.  Surrender has been so freeing.  As a friend told me, things will come when you've had enough.  And I think it may be here now or soon.  I'm tired.

I am awed by who God is.  I am learning to hope again, starting to recognize joy, and to look at life with an optimism. I really at a loss.  Words are not coming, but I just want to revel in it.  I can't explain.

Blessed, what do you choose?

God has a plan for me even if I don't see it.  Is it hard?  Yes.  I'm not good at this.  Now I know why and what having faith really means.  I am grateful for Lauren, a great friend to me.  He places everything.  Am I patient.  Each day is a day to learn.  Every day you live, you are given a choice.  Right now, in this moment, I just want to live.  And that is the biggest miracle.  To live life without a plan, but one, to be in tune with His.

realize the blessing

Lately, I am realizing my blessings and trying to appreciate them.  Sounds so simple.  All I can say is that God is REAL.  Life, has not be kind or nice, or so I thought.  I realize that He challenges those who meet them even when they think they cannot.

Return to me the joy of my salvation
Psalm 51:12
God Bless,

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.
R

Food

liking frosted Rice Krispies and kind bars lately!

R

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.

Anyone need prayer?

Grateful

I have been given Hope, Blessings, and Graceful Gratitude.  I am just thankful!

it hurts

Acceptance is painful.  And today, i feel it.  Sure, part of me wants to lie to myself, but for some reason i can not make myself do it.  do i wish i were more eloquent? yes, but i feel raw, and not too much good beauty.

What are you loving lately

Coffee

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.

Weekend plans?

yes

Kindness is a gift that doesn't cost much.
so overjoyed!

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

perspective

Some days despite myself, I have a sadness I can't explain, but I am grateful to be alive and healthy.

New day, new hope

new day, new hope!
God Bless us,

Tears of joyous happiness

My feet hurt. Pain is real.

hi, how are you?

I am very blessed!
And grateful.

We learn about us ourself when we don't know it. It's amazing, a brace can put life into simply simple small terms.

Enjoying a great evening!

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.
and i am crying a tear of happiness now!
R

Nervous today!
