Two days ago My Superhero Catherine Constantinides came to my city (for work purposes) I was overjoyed it was like God has conspired to make my one and only secret birthday wish come true. She brought many great gifts and I TRULY TRULY TRULY LOVE AND APPRECIATE THEM ALL but to me SHE was, is and forever will be the gift – all I’ve ever wanted was my Superhero.

“What are you giving up for Lent?” It’s a question a lot of people will get these next few days. If you want to change your body, perhaps alcohol and candy is the way to go. But if you want to change your heart, a harder fast is needed. This narrow road is gritty, but it isn’t sterile. It will make room in ourselves to experience a love that can make us whole and set us free. – Pope Francis

Yesterday marked the beginning of Lent in our church and since my doctor doesn’t approve of me fasting I have decided to give up impatience for Lent it’s already proving difficult but I’m going to try my best to be patient with myself and others.

Earlier this year after the carpenter insisted on praying for me twice in the space of two weeks I considered taking my bracelet off I felt like the cross attached to it was an invitation for everybody who thought I was broken and needed healing to pray for me but you know I have decided once and for all to keep my bracelet on and people will learn from me that God loves all His people, that we don’t necessarily have to have the standard set of abilities to be alright in the world. I’m standing for my faith and who I am (even if I have to do it sitting down) #DifferentIsCOOL
