I want to learn as much as possible in my pursuit of knowledge. While knowing very well, that neither you, nor I, will ever finish that pursuit of knowledge while on this earth. Why, with every new breath, comes a new lessen. I love it when God blesses me by allowing my eyes to open with a new sunrise. I love God. I love my family and friends, which in my life are one and the Same. I want to leave a mark; I want to make a difference. I sit now, But I will stand again. It may not be in this place, or “normal” by its evaporating standers which it falsely claims. But REAL, ever flowing truth.
In my observation, rarely, in being REAL are we ever“normal”nor, in being “normal” are we ever being REAL. For who determines “normal” from REAL But HE, who holds all that is REAL in his hands. I am REAL, YOU ARE REAL, We are different in a few ways but in Many the same. We are REAL. What is “normal “but slow yet never ceasing evaporation of all that is false? And what is REAL, But, all that is strong, able, and, everlasting.
"He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely."~ Tim Keller
“Going home Without my sorrow Going home Sometime tomorrow Going home To where it's better Than before Going home Without my burden Going home Behind the curtain Going home Without this costume That I wore”

October is National Physical Therapy Month: My feet on the ground.
NOVEMBER is National Physical Therapy Month.... and I miss all of my P.T.S If you grew up with a disability you understand the impact a P.T. can have on your life. i miss them all everyday of my life.
Diane Funk Milhorn, You have no Idea how much i miss you... I don't have the words anymore.... Thank you for teaching me lessons that have lasted far beyond my walker and my attitude... Thank you.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Corinthians 13:11
If you have someone who pushes you because they love you. to break down your walls of your own preconceived limitations, hold on to them. because they know what you can do.
You can only overcome your challenges after you accept them.
when your feet are on the ground everyday you take it for granted. When i could stand i was so focused on upset at the work that i had to do that i missed the reward, I never understood until much later that most times in my life how beautiful it was, My feet on the ground or my fragile step.
A few years ago i went to run walk and roll with my father there were kids there in Gait Trainers walking slowly but determined every step of the little girl in front of me was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Without P.T.S that girl wouldn't be able to feel Gods ground beneath her feet.

forgiveness, please? Thirsting for The father of creation
I Was listing
to the Avett Brothers new album, and this is what came out of my heart.
god works in mysterious ways.
This is why i fall in love with music all over again everyday. Music should be written with the soul intention of speaking to the human soul and shocking our hearts awake to the deep, purposeful, pains. And the soft, yet unshakable beauties we experience in this short and passing gift called life."There's no falling back asleep once waken from the dream." don't waste the gift of people, Love them. Don't waste your gift of life, CREATE IT. I love you, Please remember that As you read all of this.

Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and
make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put
out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and
for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
"When i lose my direction i'll look up to the skies And remember we're all in this together. if i live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die." The Avett Brothers.
HEAR ME NOW, I Have cerebral palsy. I'm in a wheelchair, 99.9% of time i'm in pain. GOD made me with his hands. and he is the MASTER artist of ALL. I am his masterpiece. My suffering, pain are of this earth. MY FLAWS OF WHICH, THERE ARE MANY are of MYSELF and my short falling short of GOD boy have I, EVERYONE HAS. You don't have to stand to fall short of The father of creation.
FREE WILL: MY FLAWS.“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.
Dear God, I come before you once again, knowing full well, That I cannot be judged by any court of earth that holds true and final verdict But, only when I STAND before you may I be judged. LORD, I Fall short today, I will fall short tomorrow. But everyday i have an aching thirst for the living water of your grace. God, I am a sinner FORGIVE ME. my misleading words and ways, my misspeaking and my untruths For setting my eyes upon things those things that are unclean and are not honorable to you And misleading and not being truthful about it at the time FORGIVE ME for my selfish ways, desires, words, and thoughts God, I’m only a man. A selfish man, Only of soul, not body. My body will melt away like snow in the sun. My body is meaningless if without my soul. For when the day comes, and you count me among your kingdom, my body will be of new. God, you said we would suffer in this world. My body is not who i am. i WILL SUFFER with you or without you. I CHOOSE to suffer with you, So That I may WALK down the streets of your kingdom when your day comes. Father, take me in your arms, and may i forever be your bride. AMEN.
Its your mercy that makes me free.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.”
I’m whispering “I was lost,
Now I’m found and forgiven.”
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I still feel t he sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not holier than thou,
I’m just a simple sinner
Who received God’s good grace, somehow!

Passions before goals.
Chase your true passion before chasing your “goals.” because, goals not built on your true passion, are not worthy of being your true goals.
“Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” William Butler Yeats
My dreams, My passions, Love, Be loved, Make a difference…. You do not have to great mountains to make great differences….just a few mow hills. :)

The only way out is through.
I get by with a little help from my friends. There is a reason I
am who I am There is a reason I am what I am, There is a reason for my
challenges. There is a reason i once didn’t listen, There is a reason i
now hear every word. while I do not know what lies before me, I do know
who he has put around me. While i cannot bare weight, I know he has
bared every weight….. So if i stand let me stand on the promise that you
will pull me through…. the only way out is through.
"If my path be smooth or rugged
If with thorns or roses strewn
Where i go the Father seeith
And He will leave me not alone
If I take the wings of morning
Far within the silent sea
Even there His hand will lead me
Even there my God will be
Though the gloom of night be round me
Though I cannot see my way
yet the Lord will see and guide me
Because unto Him the night is day
If my thoughts are good or evil
Set me think to hide them not
There is one above all seeing
And He beholdth every thought.
And ever more my eyes beholds me
And all my ways to Him are known
And His loving arms enfolds me
He will leave me not alone"
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
The only way out is through.
He made me. He doesn’t make mistakes.

Childish ways
Childish ways
When I was a child, I
talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
My family and close friends especially those of whom knew me as a child…. knows this bible verse speaks of me….. Well, to a certain extent, As a man i must admit…. even a grown man acts of childish ways and speaks threw childish words from time to time. That being said….. you should all know by now… how much i like a good quote fitting of the moment….
“Now is no time to think of what you do not have. think of what you can do with what there is.” ernest hemingway
We can only make the best out of what life is, not what we wish it would be.
THE LOVE I HAVE FOR MY FRIENDS.
WELL THEN…. thanks for reading…
