Day 2635: Adulting and Me

Part of growing up is making adult decisions – that’s what i’ve realized

It’s 2 : 15 PM on day 2635 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Lamentations 5:19 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 826 only $7 674 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far).

Today I realized that part of growing up is making adult decisions I don’t went to decide whether or not to get orthopaedic surgery or whether or not to buy a wheelchair instead of going to Paris…adulting sucks but now I’m an adult and nothing health-related can be done to me without my consent and I’m so very scared that any decision I make regarding my health will leave me worse off than I was before I just don’t know what I don’t know because I can’t see into the future.

What works on paper may not work so well in real-life don’t force it – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 1 : 59 PM on day 2631 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Psalm 100: 4, and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – A HUGE thanks to Asafika who donated $70 two days ago which brings the total raised to $4 751 only $7 749 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot.

Recently I realized that what works on paper may not work so well in real-life and that’s okay I have tried and tried to befriend girls my age but it never works I’m drawn instead to people who refuse to fit into the boxes that society tries to put them in.

Decide not to quit – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 10 : 53 AM on day 2627 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Ephesians 1:15-16 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 681 only $7 819 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far).

Today I realized as long as I don’t quit, no matter the result, I will consider myself a success. Quitting is not an option, quitting is NEVER EVER EVER an option…someone will literally have to kill me to get me to quit on anything.

It’s ok to admit that you’re hurt – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 12 : 41 PM on day 2626 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 2 Corinthians 4:15-16 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 681 only $7 819 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far).

Today I realized that it’s ok to admit (if only to myself) that I’m genuinely hurt after all when all is said and done I’m just a 26-year-old girl who often wonders if anybody cares that I exist.

Contrast reveals beauty – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 1 : 08 PM on day 2625 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Psalm 95:2-3, and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – A HUGE thanks to Stan Faryna, author of Francesco Augustine Bernadone who donated $50 yesterday which brings the total raised to $4 681 only $7 819 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot.

Recently I looked out my window and saw what God intended the world to be, a world with just enough ugliness to make us appreciate true beauty, a world with hate to make us appreciate true love and a world with sadness to make us appreciate happiness. Contrast really does reveal beauty without all the “bad” things we wouldn’t appreciate the good things as much.

Day 2624: Spectators

Only a few care the rest are just there – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 11 : 20 AM on day 2624 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Jonah 2: 9, and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – A HUGE thanks to Anonymous who donated $25 which brings the total raised to $4 631 only $7 869 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot.

In recent years I’ve realized that only a few care the rest are just there and for the life of me I don’t know what to do about it if I kick them out they’ll think I’m arrogant and if I leave them in they’ll continue to be nothing but spectators in my life I cannot tell you how many times I’ve met people who’ve said we see all your work on Facebook and I know they only mean to acknowledge me in some way which I appreciate but my first thought in response to that statement is always and what have you done to help of course I never say it but spectatorism is pointless and to be honest it can be quite creepy.

When you have a big purpose you can override obstacles internal and external – that’s what I know

It’s 11 : 28 AM on day 2623 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 606 only $7 894 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far).

Yesterday I was reminded that when you have a big purpose you can override obstacles internal and external (I have a lot of pride but when I have a big enough purpose I override my fear, my pride and anything else that stands in my way).

Believe the best in humanity even when most of the evidence points to the contrary – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 32 PM on day 2615 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Chronicles 16:35 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 556 only $7 944 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far).

Today I’m choosing to believe the best in humanity even though most of the evidence points to the contrary I truly do think whatever we believe about the world will be reflected back to us so even when it’s hard I will choose to believe the best about humanity till kingdom come
