Have You Ever Questioned God?

A few days ago someone asked me if i had ever questioned God? Boom thats a heavy question now isn't it? So I am going to give you a little bit of my faith journey.

I was raised in the Lutheran church and went to private school my whole life. This was a blessing as I have known of our amazing Creator my whole life but that does not mean I never doubted Him or got angry with Him. I specifically remember a time in 5th grade where I was having a very difficult time accepting my disability. At that time I had a leg brace that went to from my foot to my knee because I was having issues with my right knee always turning in. I remember laying on the ground crying why God? Why do you have to give me this stupid disability? Why can't you just heal me and make me normal? I remember that moment the most because that was the angriest I ever was with God.

It's like you see other people getting healed and God performing miracles and you are praying just as hard and your like what the heck God?! Why are you healing them but not me!!

But in life you always grow and with growing I have grown in my faith. I have realized that God has performed little miracles in my life. I went from a little 5 year old using a walker to a 7 year old no longer needing a walker. I went from a 10 year old needing a wheelchair for long distances to a 20 year old traveling across the world walking many miles. I went from a little girl needing help with everything to an  independent 26 year old living on her own and having a career of her own.

I have now seen that God has gifted me with a physical disability so I can inspire and encourage others and show them how good God is. Who knows if I will ever be completely healed and to be honest I will never stop praying that but right now I surround myself in the truth that my God knows what He is doing and even though I may get frustrated and have days where I wonder what my life would be like if I did not have a disability I will stand firm on the truth that my God is always good.

So yes I most certainly have questioned God but I always have run back to Him because I know that without Him I am nothing. That is why I recently got a cross tattooed on my wrist because it is a daily reminder that He knows the way and He can move mountains and I am a mere vessel in His kingdom.

Pregnancy & Birth

 Hi there! I know I do not blog on here on a regular basis anymore but my baby is napping and I wanted a place where I could remember the beauty of my pregnancy and birth. So here we go... June 20, 2023: I found out I was pregnant! Cue all the emotions (excited, nervous, scared) and the now what!  June-July 2023: I had just switched to my husband's insurance so I didn't have a doctor or anything. Luckily, with Kaiser I was able to get in pretty quickly. You see I wanted to be seen pretty quickly because I was on medication. I have been on medication since I was 15 for my spasticity/shakiness in my hands. Mind you I was 30 when I found out I was pregnant so I have been on this medication 3 times a day for half of my life 😲. I had no idea how my body would react to being off of it or even the process of getting off the medication. At first I was getting varying opinions about whether to stop cold turkey or to stay on it. Eventually, I spoke with my neurologist (who I wasn't ...

THE Job Interview

12:50 - stuck in traffic, literally have not moved for 5 minutes. My interview is at 1:00! What am i going to do? i take out the dreaded phone and dial the number of the lady i am interviewing with. i tell her i am stuck in traffic and am going to be late. She says "oh, thank you for calling, take your time, i appreciate you letting me know" PHEW! I am in the clear I knew it from the first few moments of talking with this lady that this was going to be different. she looked at me like a normal individual. she did not look tense or apprehensive when looking at me and answering questions. she just got me. the second question she asked me was how are you going to be a good support to these adults with disabilities? (thinking to myself this is the question i was born for). i explain to her that i have grown my whole life fighting for my rights and the respect/accommodations i need and now it is my turn to do that for others. i understand what individuals with disabilities nee...

What Does It Mean to Have CP?

You know this month is CP awareness month so I thought it would be fitting to write about what I feel everyday..So here we go When you wake up and get out of bed and think man my leg muscles are tight. When you walk into a store and you get the looks. The looks of curiosity, looks of wow that girl sure walks different, looks that make you feel like you just don't fit in. When you go to pay and you are struggling getting that money or credit card out and you start to blush because you know that cashier or the person behind you is thinking "that poor girl". When you are asked to repeat yourself 2-3 times because that person can't understand you and you just want to say never mind. When you have to buy new shoes more often than normal because you ruined the toe part of your shoe or you have a hole on the bottom due to walking toe-heel instead of heel-toe. When you have to use adaptive tools like a button hook. When you can't open a water bottle or you spill your dr...
