Dating While Differenly Abled

I am in my mid 20's now so I think its appropriate to talk about dating. I always get so nervous to breach the topic because I feel like no one will understand, but we live in a world with internet. This means that millions of people have access to this post. Its not about understanding anymore. The focus is exposure and education. I don't know what I am looking for out of this, but I do think that the content of this post is interesting. I just have a few questions that need answers. To start, What do people think about dating someone with a differing level of or limited ability? Next, What role does social media play in all of this? Then, for those who date online, how much disclosure is necessary at the onset? To follow, do people have a right to put disclosure on a need to know basis? Finally, if it matters to you, why does it matter? I really want to know what people think. I have some great things coming in the near future. Lets start the conversation. Do not fee...

God works in mysterious ways

He is exceedingly and abundantly amazing. He is the Alpha and the Omega. My only beginning and my only and. His Word says "good things come to those who love the Lord.  He is our Savior Jesus Christ sent to Earth by God to save us from sin. I shall not worry. Last night I was speaking to a Muslim friend of mine from college and I expressed to her my concerns about being able to grow in my faith the way she has grown since we graduated and she's been married. She told me that all praise goes to God. She refused any of the credit. All she did was ask him to help her and he did. He also sent someone who would be able to help her for life, her husband. I know that I'm still a work in progress but I'm trying. I know that trying isn't good enough though. I'll have to do the things I need to do to reap the benefits I desire. In the intermission between one phase of life and the next there's always chaos. People sometimes lose their way to their blessings because t...

I AM THIRSTY... Water gives me Strength

LIVING WATER There was this little seed And in a garden it was sowed It had the warmth of the sun But it needed water to grow. Now this very seed was watered By the raindrops that fell from the sky It was even given water By many people who walked by. Even though it was given plenty of water This kind of water was never enough For you see this seed's heart was dry And it was also very tough. Now one day a stranger walked by And poured a different kind of water on top This seed was so excited That it absorbed every last drop. For the water this stranger gave Was not of an ordinary kind It didn't cost the seed a thing Not even one thin dime. This water was living water That Christ gave to the women at the well This water was the gift of eternal life And this water is free and not for sale. This poem is an open invitation A gift from God to you from me You are a seed that needs this living water And you can have life with Christ in eternity. "For God so loved the world, tha...

Strength to make Choices- I AM PROACTIVE

     The title of this post has perplexed me for some time now. Never in a million years did I think it took strength to make choices. All I thought it took was wise council and risk analysis, but I am learning that while those two things are important when making choices the most important part of the choice making process is  having the strength to live with the choices you make.       I believe that everyone is put on this earth for a reason and that no matter what one does you will end up where you were always supposed to be. You where destined to be there and no one else. God writes amazing stories for our lives(hence the name of my blog).  For many years I struggled with learning how to navigate this world as a triple minority. In high school I thought I found the answer, and that answer was be proactive not reactive. While I truly believe that is the answer to most problems, I now realize that at that point in my life I was to immatu...

Rebirth 6/6/14

So, its been a long time since I have written one of these. Lately I have had the urge to write. As I sit here and type this blog I am filled with of many emotions. The biggest of these emotions is fear. The antidote for fear is movement. With that being said, there is nothing to fear but fear it self. The Lord says: Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. I have struggled with this Proverb my entire life. Trust. Trusting someone other than myself to do what needs to be done for me. It is right now that I realize that my trust issues stem for the thought of me being the only person in the world exactly like me.     I know that sounds crazy because no two people are the exact same, but in most cases people are able to find kindred spirits that are a  similar type of person. I realize too that this belief may be ill informed, but fr...
