Forgive me, beloveds. I have to speak whilst pain is resting.
I stopped by to encourage someone to use his/her/their voice as none of us knows when life, er, a stroke will silence you.
Use your voice. Pursue your dreams. How long will you hold yourself back? You can do so much more than you give yourself credit for.
Speak!
LOVE!
LIVE!!!
What are you waiting for!!?

All those dreams you thought you could no longer do.
You still can.
All the things you lost that you thought you could never get back.
You can still have.
All the things you thought were meant for everyone else.
You can still do.
All the things you thought would go to everyone else.
You can still get.
Beloveds, life is what we make it. We can:
Be.
Have.
Do.
Get.
We are limited only by our:
Choices.
Actions.
Inaction.
Let me say this for everyone in the back row:
You still can.
Nuff Said!
Hopefully expecting,

Tonight has been 😭 sobering. For the past few days, I have been reconciling all the things I can no longer do.
Recently, I had to fill out a million page of synopsis detailing everything I can not do in order for Social Security to determine if I am eligible for assistance.
If so, I can plan and prepare to apply for supported living. This way, I can have my own apartment and still have 24 hours a day support staff. I want to be independent.
I wanted to take a shower. Alone. I can’t. I don’t know this made me want to cry. Usually, I am pretty philosophical. Here lately, I find fear wanting to rise up and snatch my joy. I dare not let it in. I have too much to do.
I choose to laugh. I choose to look forward to a future that I can STILL have.
Focus on the wonderful life just waiting for us to engage with.
Whatever your current lot, beloveds, remember that all is not lost, okay? Okay.
Be encouraged.

I refuse.
I refuse to be:
Defined by a stroke. By a stroke or by luck, a stroke found it’s way to me. I didn’t ask. Still, it found me. Yet, I refuse to allow it to define who I am now. I refuse to let it define what I shall be.
I refuse to be:
Diminished by what happened TO me. I didn’t ask. Still, it came for me. Still, and, yet, I refuse to allow it take what I plan to be.
I refuse to be:
Beaten by what happened to me. I didn’t ask. Still, it came for me. Thay said, I refuse to let it take the best of me.
Beloveds, don’t you DARE allow anything or anyone define who you are, what you can do, or how your life turns out to be!
We can do ALL things THROUGH CHRIST who strengthens me. AND, YOU, should you lean on and trust Him. I got you. Even you non believers ESPECIALLY you.
Be encouraged. We got this. I love you and so does He!

Better days are before us. We just have to hold on to our faith, joy and ❤️ love for dear life. Be encouraged!
You are STILL you! Remember that!
Today was hard. Yesterday was harder. Don’t even ask about the day before that one. Whew
Still, God got me AND you. Hard was so hard I HAD to laugh. I cried uncle and dived undet welcoming covers.
