--- Sometimes I doubted that God really knew what was best for me. I just read something I wrote two years ago about having to sit down when brushing my teeth and getting out of the shower and passing out from exhaustion. I took pain medication every hour and made roughly $2 per hour (when able) making cards, attempting to help my parents cover medical bills. And...in my mid twenties I felt as if I were being left behind. --- If anything, this year I've learned that life isn't "status quo", whatever that means, and doesn't have to be. Life is freaking messy and my life doesn't have to look like everyone else's. I got a job this year, guys. A J-O-B. I spent eight hours on my feet yesterday. I can guarantee you that God hasn't forgotten me. And He hadn't forgotten me when I didn't have the strength to stand for a solid minute. He won't forget you this year either. But remember that you have the choice to make your darkest day into your finest hour. #nevergiveup #peoplehopetribe #lifewithlyme #odeto2016
