Day 2903: Change and Trust

Change is constant – that’s what I keep realizing

It’s 12 : 35 PM on day 2903 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time outside and do some work.

Two days ago we had to get a temporary helper while our permanent helper was on sick leave the first day I was so nervous she wouldn’t be able to help me that I literally didn’t drink any water till my parents got back from work but the second mom told me she would only be back at 4 or 5 and since I didn’t want a UTI I decided to drink water like normal and trust that the temp could help me without injuring me and to my shock she helped me and I didn’t get injured in the process I guess I need to work on trusting people more. In case you’re wondering our permanent helper is now back (yay).

Take the risk and trust – that’s my message to the world

It’s 1: 34 PM on day 2823 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, have breakfast and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet –raised $14 669 only $4 081 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to reach my new goal of helping 75 kids with Clubfoot by June 17, 2018.

Recently some people broke my heart and they didn’t even know it and after that I thought ok well maybe it’s just easier if I assume everybody will disappoint me but I realize the danger in that is that my closed heart may drive people to do just that so instead of assuming everybody will disappoint me or that nobody will disappoint me I’ve decided to evaluate people on a case by case basis assuming some will, knowingly or otherwise, disappoint me. Take the risk and trust.

With the platforms we have come trust and responsibility ― that’s what I have realized

It’s 11: 03 AM on day 2309 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, spend time with family, read Isaiah 2:22 and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –raised $10 005.04 only $2 494.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ) (my family members gave me $61 in cash for the campaign i’ll donate it on their behalf as soon as my dad returns from work this afternoon).

This morning I realized that with the platforms we have come trust and responsibility (people just hand me their money [for me to donate in their behalf to my campaigns] it scares me to death how much people trust me I know I would never misuse any money people give me for charitable purposes I value my character too much to do that but still sometimes I wish people didn’t trust me so blindly it’s so much pressure for someone my age).

Day 2079: The Trust in Me

To be trusted is the greatest compliment of all – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 12 : 11 PM on day 2079 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, pray, read Proverbs 13: 11, learn one new thing – The process from egg to butterfly is weather dependent and also depends on the regional climate. It can take about four weeks in the peak of the summer in warmer climates. The egg takes 5 to 10 days, the larva/caterpillar and pupa/chrysalis each take about 10 to 14 days. – and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 774 only $476 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ).

Today I realized that to be trusted is the greatest compliment of all I’m so humbled and honoured that there are people in this life who trust me to do the right thing and be a good person.

Day 1059: Amanda Palmer: The art of asking

“I maintain couchsurfing and crowdsurfing are basically the same thing — you’re falling into the audience and you’re trusting each other.” — Amanda Palmer

It’s 12 : 24 PM on day 1059 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Judges 18, publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, tweet and Facebook about my campaign – today was the most disheartening day of the campaign I asked someone to make a donation and she basically said she didn’t want to because she didn’t know any slaves I don’t know any slaves either doesn’t mean I don’t care about what happens to them – chat to friends about possible business opportunities and stretch my hamstrings.

A few days ago I watched Amanda Palmer: The art of asking – a ted talk by musician Amanda Palmer about giving and receiving and the trust between the giver and the receiver – I could relate to what Amanda was saying you can’t make people help you all you can do is ask people to help and trust that they will.
