My Secret Birthday Wish That Came True Early

“The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.” – Hubert H. Humphrey

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.

Day 3092: Lent 2019

Leave a reply

“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

It’s 1: 55 PM on day 3092 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, and do some work

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.

Day 3088: Why I Am Keeping My Cross

Stand for all that makes you who you are – that’s my message to the world

It’s 12: 28 PM on day 3088 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time outside and do some work

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

Day 3087: What the World Needs More Of

Leave a reply

What we need in the world is not more millionaires it’s more people with compassion– that’s what I keep realizing

It’s 2: 19 PM on day 3087 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time outside and do some work

Today I was reminded that what we need in the world is not more millionaires it’s more people with compassion I know lots of young professionals with lots of money and very little social consciousness it’s their money they can do whatever they like with it but as someone who has been on operating tables I can tell you when you think you may never wake up again it’s not the alcohol-hazed parties or the things you acquire that you remember it’s your kindness and the impact you have on other people’s lives that will forever remain with you.
