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

Things To Remember When You Feel Like Quitting On God

Having the opportunity to serve the Lord through writing faith-based short stories and devotionals will forever be my greatest joy.  I have traveled along on the writing journey for about ten years now, yet it would be untruthful to tell you that I've never felt like quitting.  I know I have.  Have you ever felt that way? Are you in a season of distraction or discouragement?  The Lord placed this thought and those questions on my heart because I know that many others who remain faithful in serving the Lord in their own respective way are met with same opposition from Satan.  Sometimes it's difficult for you not to feel distracted and discouraged---as if the joy that you once held in your heart is somehow nowhere to be found. The good news is that while opposition will never go away on this side of Heaven, there are things to remember and tools that we can use to fight off those fiery darts and keep on keepin' on! (One of my all time favorite phrases) Today, I wa...

The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past three years have just begun to escalate; it is becoming harder to have our basic needs met. The quality of everything that we've known and loved just isn't the same anymore.  And what you're being sold is never worth the hefty price you pay. This thought has hung around in my head for some time. I read and observe a lot. I can't help but take notice of this gradual acceptance of evil. Society is being continuously groomed to make light of something that is no joke.  Hollywood paints the picture of Hell as a place that is one big party where everyone will be able to freely continue their life of sin. The presence of evil here on Earth is welcomed, encouraged, and accepted. The Bible vehemently warns against doing so.  " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put...

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...
