So excited for this!

Having one of those late night chats with a good friend at the moment. It's amazing how what you go through has a purpose to help someone else. Feeling incredibly humbled and thankful for God's plan in my life right now.

My cousin sent me this trailer, and the most amazing thing about it is, that the director had similar congenital diseases like my sister. So that makes the creation of this film even more incredible! Follow the jump to read more about  how a scrambled eggs baby became an award winning director !

When I heard that Donald Glover was leaving "Community," I thought it was because he was going to focus more on his rap career. I thought it was all for music and him going on to bigger and better things; until I read  Donald Glover's Instagram Posts  today. Needless to say, I felt sorry for the guy. There have been so many times in my own life when I've said many of the things he wrote in those posts. We all hit a rough patch here and there. It's kind of inevitable sometimes. For some of us, when we hit our rock bottom, it brings us down to a place we don't know how to get out of. I don't know him personally, but whatever happens, I really hope that he won't stop being the amazing, talented artist he is. And maybe that's what he needs; people to tell him how blessed and fortunate he is. Because even when you think you may have it all, you don't. God can give you everything you want in life, and just as easily take it away in the blin

Someone found this blog. Someone I've talked about before on this blog. I said it a while back and I'll say it again, it doesn't bother me. What I wrote is based on true feelings from past experiences; not because I love to cause drama everywhere I go. So I don't regret making any feelings I have against you known on here. People seem to have no problem telling me how they feel about something. Somehow, they don't expect me to be offended by any of it. They expect me to react the they way they want me to. Why? Because they think their moral standard is higher than mine. Because they can make all the excuses in the world to prove they can say whatever they want with no consequences. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. But don't think that because you get to exploit that on me in an unsavory way, I won't repay you in kind. Also, I don't write about you because of just one thing that happened. It's not that easy for me to dislike someon

YES. Totally relate to this! There's always at least one song in every single freakin' Disney movie that is just way too high and beyond my range.

I seriously cannot say this enough: I hate passive aggressive behavior online. It's one of the most disgusting traits I've seen in people and sometimes in myself. Just say it upfront or don't say anything at all.

"Pity was meant to be a spur that drives joy to help misery. But it can be used the other way around. It can be used as a kind of blackmailing. Those who chose misery can hold joy up to ransom, by pity." ~ C. S. Lewis, "The Great Divorce"

It's been a pretty tough week. Probably one of the hardest to get through in my entire life. After a lot of meditating and venting, I've come to realize the saying, "God only gives us what we can handle" is not true. God has been pushing and pushing and pushing me; far beyond what I can take. Sometimes I'll find myself curled up in the middle of my bed; sobbing till I fall asleep. The stress and pressure has become so great that it's caused my eczema and acne to flare up all over my body. Still, God manages to give me the comfort and reassurance I need to get through the day. I may not know what purpose all this chaos going on in my life has right now, but I do know it will make me a better person in the future. The kind of person that God can use in His plan for me. I'm not saying that I don't feel anger or bitterness from time to time. After all, no one's perfect. But even in the darkest parts of my day, when I feel like I'

When you feel like absolute crap, listen to MUSE.

Hahaha seriously love this. Couldn't help but sing along in my head the first time I read it.

Seriously enjoyed this past season of "The Sing Off." I've always loved listening to a cappella music, so it's no surprise that watching this show gets me incredibly excited. Kind of sad that The Filharmonic didn't win, but I'm so glad to see that they're doing collaborations with the other groups now! Real talk though, Pentatonix is still the best a cappella group from the entire show.

This blog has always been my safe haven; my little corner; my escape. In high school, it was the only place where I could freely express myself. Being a sort of outcast, I found it easier to bottle everything up inside and let it all out on here after school. When I lost my grandma and a friend of ten years at the same time, this was the only place where I could be honest and true to myself. All the anger and bitterness flowed freely from my heart and I was the better for it. It alleviated my mind and my heart and it sometimes made facing the next day just a little bit easier. I've never been the type to tell anyone how I really feel. I suppose it has something to do with trust issues originating from my dysfunctional relationships with my family. Not to say that I don't love them; I do. However, my childhood was filled with a lot of mental and emotional abuse; sometimes physical abuse. All of which attributes to my occasional anger problems. You see, no one really cared

Four year old twins do their rendition of this song. Can't help but think how cute this is! And the original from the movie sung by Idina Menzel.

"You   can't always go by actions because some people will ACT like they love you just to get what they want from you." "Keep   talking about me behind my back, and watch God keep blessing me in front of your face."     “When I see you, I think "I wonder which face she sees when she looks into the mirror.”  “Like a Columbus of the heart, mind and soul I have hurled myself off the shores of my own fears and limiting beliefs to venture far out into the uncharted territories of my inner truth, in search of what it means to be genuine and at peace with who I really am. I have abandoned the masquerade of living up to the expectations of others and explored the new horizons of what it means to be truly and completely me, in all my amazing imperfection and most splendid insecurity.”  “A persons character is shown through their actions in life NOT where they sit on Sunday.”  "Sometimes   blood isn't thicker than water and family will

Last year was probably one of the worst years I've ever experienced. To be a bit more dramatic, it felt like a horrible car accident and the only fatalities were the relationships in my life. Indeed, the disaster and chaos that plagued my connections with those I care about stemmed from the resentment and irritation I held for Vanessa and Alex. The disease that paralyzed my coherent thinking spread to other relationships I had with people in my life. Not only was my relationship with Zack affected, but almost everyone around me was subjected to the aftershock of our fury and frustration. The results were more than I could handle; yet I know in the recesses of my despair and internal destruction that God never gave more than we could handle. However, the unforeseen consequences sometimes led me to momentarily believe otherwise for the hopelessness was all consuming and overwhelming. If I allow myself to dwell on it, I can still feel it's burning grip on my heart and my

Had a very heartbreaking conversation with someone I hold dear. After our talk, I began to think about what C. S. Lewis said about pain and suffering. Hopefully, reading these gives you hope and a better understanding of not only your pain, but others as well. “Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.”  “Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.”  “The human spirit will not even begin to try to surrender self-will as long as all seems to be well with it. Now error and sin both have this property, that the deeper they are the less their victim suspects their existence; they are masked evil. Pain is unmasked, unmistakable evil; every man knows that something is wrong when he is being hurt.”  “when pain is to be born,

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself." "...I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind." "I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing your
