Last Appreciation April post

I know there is only one more day of Appreciation April but lets be honest...I've not been a very good blogger this month... So I'm making this blog my last one for this month... but this post will cover a lot of ground.

Team Crowley/Crowley Brothers/ Steph Ciotta-

In October of 2010 I was introduced to the music of The Crowley Brothers by my dear friend Labanya. I quickly became a fan and was introduced to other fans of theirs. Team Crowley is where I've met many of my closest friends. To name a few- Fiona, Christian, Lizzie, Tym, Iulia, Dominique, and there are MANY others... Then through knowing about the Crowley Brothers I learned about Steph Ciotta's music.

The Crowley Brothers and Steph may or may not know about this, but after I graduated College I was fighting depression because I couldn't find a job, I no longer had a place to belong but through Team Crowley I found a new place... So through that I appreciate ALL of Team Crowley, The Crowley Brothers, and Steph Ciotta and I'm thankful for the opportunity to have met 6 of these awesome people in person.

These people have become a community, a family to me. My brothers and sisters...and as some of them call me "mama" I guess I should say "daughters" too :)

ACCers- I've touched on my ACC (Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum) a lot in past posts, But I want to dedicate this section of this post to my fellow ACCers. When I was diagnosed with ACC almost 7 years ago my heart broke- yet I was happy to know what my difference truly was. Then I was introduced to fellow ACCers like Sarah, Brian, Jeffrey, Jolene, Jurie, Kyle, and others. Sarah and I have become like sisters, and Brian and Jeffrey are such an encouragement to me. Jolene and I have a deep friendship built through understanding each other. Other than them I've become friends with many parent's of those with ACC. I appreciate each and every one of them because without these amazing people I would never have learned to truly accept my ACC and learn to love myself. I'd have never learned to look at my ACC as a blessing but also something that I can try to overcome (on the days when it's not such a blessing) They are my family.

Finally- Those material things that I appreciate...the things that aren't as important to me as the experiences and people...but that still hold a special place in my heart. These things are Books, Jane Austen novels and the Regency Era, Harry Potter, and Hunger Games... Then since I already mentioned music... Movies, I LOVE old movies, I could watch them all day. Anything from the 30s-50s, then The 80s... I LOVE old Hollywood. Oh and The tv show Ugly Betty, it will forever be a favorite.

Now.... The most important thing that I appreciate- The one thing/person above ALL else. My Lord and Savior. Above anything I am a Christian I am forever in love with my Lord. He has saved me time and time again. He blesses me constantly and makes me feel so loved. I appreciate being saved, I appreciate His love for me and I appreciate everything about My relationship with Him. I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about Him...and I appreciate Him for putting the people He has put in my life.

Though I haven't blogged much, I've spent EVERY DAY this Appreciation April focusing on what and who I appreciate. I've learned so much this month and I'm thankful you've joined me on this journey! I love you All!

I'll Announce soon what May will be all about ;)
