As it's the day before Resurrection Sunday I'm in a time of thought. I've been this way for a couple of days now and this fact is what kept me awake most of the night last night.
I am stubborn, strong-willed, opinionated, kind, patient, and a little goofy.
I've had both an easy and difficult life. Starting from a tough time at school, being bullied all the way through my college years, when I was 5 my sister died, then when I was 15 my dad was diagnosed with cancer and died 7 months later, through that my mom broke her arm so I became the caretaker in my home. I've had knee problems my whole life having 4 knee surgeries, I was diagnosed with ACC (agenesis of the corpus callosum), thyroid disease, and through it all I persevered. I went to college against all odds and graduated, granted, now I don't have a job to show for the degree I received the fact is I tried and didn't give up.
I've learned through all of this that patience and a good since of humor are the best ways to survive through this life. I am not going to lie, I went through a time in my life where I was suicidal, I recently even revisited those dark thoughts, but through it all God was there and so was that strong will my dad and mom helped build in me.
I'm so thankful for Jesus and His path to the cross that is so heartbreaking, I'm even more thankful to the Resurrection because His living again has given me a reason to continue living.
I miss my dad even now but I love that he gave little tiny ways to know he's still around. It's amazing how God can show us these things.
Keep your eyes on the Son.
