A Part of Our Family
There is a freedom that comes with growing up as the only girl in the house. I didn't have to share clothes, take turns with the girl toys, or wait for my sister to hang out with me when she moved up to high school. Having brothers is different, but we still did...
31 Days to (More) Freedom
The blog has been calling me all day, all week really. I'm starting a new challenge for the month of October. It's called Write 31 days. Lots of bloggers gather together and make plans to write every day throughout the whole month. I thought about joining the...
Never Doubt the Journey
From the beginning, I never had a doubt I could get better. I just knew something wasn't right. Even my friends noticed at this point. You might think I'm talking about my physical disability or a challenge that came in childhood because of the Arthrogryposis. Nope....
Celebrate the Change of Seasons
Can we pause for a minute and celebrate as summer officially comes to a close this week? Back in June I thought my summer season would be quiet, restful... I didn't know exactly what I would do, but some time was opening up. My small group at church takes a break and...
When we are no longer the same
When I think about my life, it can be funny to realize the moments that stand out. They're not always the ones you'd imagine. Sometimes it is a big event or reaching a milestone, but other times it's a small part of a chapter we remember. There are always the times of...
What it Means to Say Yes
Sometimes God wants us to say yes when we scream no. Sometimes we say yes when we should have said no. Sometimes we say yes without much thinking. Sometimes we think too long before we say yes. Looking back on recent years I see the power that comes with saying a yes,...
The Things I Find When Sorting
It started out as a simple sorting project. I found an old box in my closet full of church bulletins. I don't really need them and I'm not sure why I saved every single one for years. The sermon notes I find are not that detailed. These bulletins go back to my college...
5 Things I’ve Learned
I took a couple of weeks off from blogging after my blog series on Arthrogryposis, but it is time to keep going. And I'll share much more of my (un)limited life in the weeks to come. For now, I'm joining the Five Minute Friday community to offer a few thoughts here...
A Peek into My (un)Limited Life, part four
We made it to Part Four...the final questions. I will expand on many of these thoughts in future posts. What do you wish someone knew automatically when meeting you for the first time? 1. I am an adult. I'm not a kid, though my body is small and my face looks young....
A Peek into My (un)Limited Life, part three
Well, friends, I thought I'd finish up the Q&A series today, but there are more questions to answer. Here is Part Three. What sort of movement have you lost or gained since you were a child, and what development/changes were the most difficult for you? I wish I...
