Springing Forth With Excitement!

Hey guys! I have not been blogging for the past several weeks and I am happy to be back at it today; the title of this post is a great summary of the April I've had so far. A lot of exciting things have been occurring in my life lately and I wanted to take to the blog to share with my readers today:

As you know, a couple of months ago I brought home a golden lab puppy and I named her Ruby; she just turned 3 months old on April 6th and is growing like a weed. My Ruby is the sweetest little girl who loves everybody and loves companionship. We are still in the stages of teething and hardcore running and playing; I figure that will last a good while. In addition to Ruby, I have a 6 year old Pomeranian whom she  just adores and they do play well together, but he tires out rather quickly. 

April 5th saw me celebrate my 25th birthday; a milestone that I felt very thrilled to surpass. I had such a wonderful birthday. Months prior to Wednesday, I had applied to be on the West Virginia Statewide Independent Living Council and what made my birthday so awesome was  I found out that my application was one of seven to be sent on for appointment by the governor; if I get appointed, then I will officially be a council member. The nomination in itself was such a blessing of a present; I felt so humbled and thankful. Thank you again to all of the WVSILC members for making me feel so loved and welcomed. I am so eager to begin my journey with them; I can't wait to get started. I am ready and willing to work as hard as I can to make others with disabilities feel heard and empowered. Twenty five sees me as the happiest and most fulfilled that I've ever been; when you hit a point in life where you know what your ambitions are...well, that is a great spot to be in. I am happy to be me. I'm happy to have lived the life I've lived. My hope for the future is that I can really make an impact and change someone's life; I want to make a difference. My main piece of advice for someone struggling with their disability is to hang in there because as you get older time does make things easier. In late March, I embarked on a new journey with Next Right Steps: in addition to blogging, I am now a weekly peer mentor. I do Skype talk sessions every Friday; making a new friend has been so much fun.

Birthday celebrations were awesome; on Friday, I got an early morning deluxe pedicure with my aunt (I love having my feet pampered) and I got to have dinner that evening with my father; we munched on Chinese and had a nice talk. My birthday cake was a yummy white cake with chocolate icing and yellow roses. On Sunday afternoon, I went to Longhorn Steakhouse with my mom and we had the most delicious lunch: bread & butter, a Texas tonion, huge salads with fresh fruit, ribs & french fries. Yum! 

I know I have been missing in action for quite some time now, but I am going to get back to doing my weekly blogs; I have missed writing so much. I have a lot of things planned, and this week I will be working on next week's blog plus new material for The Mighty; next month will make a year since I first stumbled upon them and became a published writer. I can't wait to see what else life has in store, but I'm so grateful to be happy and healthy. I will continue to attack life with an attitude that springs forth with a heart full of excitement. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout everything; I so appreciate you. Stay tuned for next Tuesday!

With Love,
Molly

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
