The year was 1983. The month was August. It was the 15th day. This little girl came into the world that was not supposed to live. The doctors had no hope, but her family sure did. Her grandfather knew great things were in store and that Jesus would heal his granddaughter.

Doctors told this little girls mother that she should just let her be and put her in a mental institute and let her be. She wasn’t going to make it and if she did she would just be a vegetable. They said, she will not walk, talk, hear, see, speak. She will not survive.

God had other plans. This little girls grandfather was the very first person to hold her. While, he was holding her in his big arms, he prayed just a little prayer that God would heal his granddaughter if it was his will.

Days were clicking off. Doctors could not believe their eyes. The little girl was slowly getting better, day by day. They were in shock. This little girls family knew the ultimate healer.

If you believe anything is possible. They believed that God was the answer and healer. This little girl has had many challenges in her life. She’s had 15 surgeries, has 3 degrees, is working on her 4th. For all those people who said she wouldn’t make it, she is a living testimony. She is a miracle.

You see folks. That little girl is me. I was not supposed to live, walk, talk, see, they all lost all of their hope. Through faith my family prayed, and expected God to heal. Life is not always easy, it’s not always fun and games, life has some very challenging hurdles that you have to face. The choice is yours whether or not you are going to tuck tail and run, or you are going to face the giants.

I’ve run lots of times when the giants were so big that I didn’t think I could overcome them, but I’ve learned that running gets you know where because that giant is going to follow you everywhere if you don’t face it.

God has great things for your life if you allow him to help you. You see that little girl has run marathons, triathlon, played college basketball, ran college track, traveled the world, that little girl has a desire to serve others and even though I’m not that same little girl anymore, in my eyes I will always be a miracle, because God wanted me to live so that I can share what a blessing you can be if you allow yourself to be.

Never think that you are too much for God. With God all things are possible.

Blessed to be a Blessing,

Letting go can be one of the hardest things you will ever do. I remember it was November 24, 2009. I was sitting on the couch in Spencer, WV. My grams had been sick for a long time, we all new the days were clicking off. She was an amazing woman of God. It was about 8:20 pm, my phone rang; it was my mom. She called to tell me that my “Grams” had passed away. I cried for days. I was so angry and mad at God for taking her away.

My grams and I had the most unique bond. We were two peas in a pod. I lived with her for almost 6 years right out of high school. If it wasn’t for her I would have never went to college, but she had always told me she never had the opportunity and she was living her dream through me. She always gave me the confidence I need to march on. She always encouraged me to DREAM BIG!!  To always keep God in the center of my life and anything would be possible, because everything is possible with Christ.

When my grams went home to be with the Lord. I guess for months I was just lost. I still to this day remember her home phone number. I remember the taste of her spaghetti, the small of her pumpkin pies, the taste of her pork chops, her laughter, I can see her smile, when I look in the mirror I see my grams in me. I see that God placed her kind and sweet spirit that she had in me. She never met a stranger. She was a prayer warrior. I often wonder where I would be in life if my “Grams” hadn’t of planted a seed in me.

You see there comes a time in life when it is our time to go. November 24, 2009, was when Jesus came and took her home to be with him. I had to come to the realization that I had to let her go, but even though I let her go and she is no longer here, I will always have the memories of her.

In order to grow in Christ, sometimes we have to “Let GO” we have to let go of the things in life that weigh us down, bring hurt, sometimes you have to take out the bad people in your life, and start fresh. God has great things for us, but he doesn’t want us to hold on to the baggage. He wants us to “Let Go!!” He wants all of us, not just part of us.

If there is something that is weighing you down and stopping you from surrendering to Gods call, I pray that you will “Let Go”  God can take away all your pain, hurt, fears. He can restore you with good memories, and take away all of the hurtful memories. I am so blessed that I have the memories of my “Grams” I hope that one day I can be the example that she was to me for someone else.

Be Blessed!!

Be Blessed!!!

As I look what has happened in my life over the past 32 years. I am amazed at how far God has brought me. I am so very blessed at what God is doing in my life and I am constantly amazed at how much he just keeps blessing my life.

Have you ever just pondered on what your purpose in life is? Have you ever just got lost in conversation with God and told him about your dreams and ask him what your purpose on life is? I constantly ask him what my “CALLING” is. We are all equipped with different gifts, different passions, we are all different people.

Never dare to dream. Dream BIG!! God just wants you to ask him. He says: Ask and keep asking, seek and keep seeking, knock and keep knocking. You have not because you ask not.

Surrendering yourself is one of the biggest things you will ever do in life. You have to let go of YOUR pride. Let go of all of YOU!! When you let go of “SELF” and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!!!  Things fall into place.  I went back and forth about going to grad school, now down deep I knew that I was supposed to go. I tend to always focus on others and not myself. Finally, a good friend of mine said to me “When are you going to do what you want?”  You know I constantly pondered on that for a long time. I never want to hurt anyones feelings, and I can never say “NO” but as I really stopped and thought about what they said. It dawned on me that I have literally been living my life for everyone else instead of for myself, most of all I wasn’t surrendering to Gods call on my life.

My passion in life is to be a writer, an author, to create my own magazine, to encourage others through my life experiences, to let others know that Jesus loves them. You see when you surrender your life to the KING, everything falls into place the way God intended it. When you keep trying to do things your way, life is a bit rocky.

My prayer for you is that you will always keep God in the center of your life and that your will DREAM BIG!!

I will be posting blogs from time to time. If you like them and they are encouraging please drop me a note. Please share them as well. I am hoping to publish my first book in January it is in memory of my grandmother Ruth Grimm “Grilled Cheese and A Dill Pickle”  friends nothing is impossible with God. Have a blessed week and I’m praying for you.

Fix your eyes on JESUS and never get so distracted that you don’t have time for him.

Blessings,

J
