The 5oz Foodie

Today was a day to heal... I woke up with a migraine and knew that I needed rest...  I am down to taking my morning meds every 2 days and soon it will be every three and than four and than I will be done... And I am finally feeling again... And it feels fantastic... I can honestly say, I was happy to wake up with swollen eyes and a headache, part from crying part from the weather and allergies...  I felt like I got a ton of emotions out last night and some inner turmoil as well... I spoke about the song "Hurricane" last night and how it has spoken volumes to me since hearing it a few weeks ago... So very often when we are going through hard times we pray for God to take away the hurt and pain and we feel like nothing has happened... But in the midst of all of our struggles, Jesus isn't watching from the outside He is there with us every step of the way... I now believe I am another step closer to a healthier me... Musicsongbird

What an incredible night of worship... Mom and I drove to Brandon just outside of Tampa to see Sandi Patty and Natalie Grant perform together for the first time and it was spectacular... Their music and stories were so moving... Sandi brought me to tears when she performed, "We Shall Behold Him." Then Natalie sang my new favorite song, "Hurricane" and it was just incredible... The night was topped when Mom convinced me to go back into the building following the concert to talk to Sandi in person... I have met her before so I didn't need anything for her to autograph.... I just wanted to let her know how much her music meant to me... So I got in line and waited... A few minutes later Mom joined me, opened her walker and handed me Sandi's Cookbook... I was very excited and so now I had something for her to sign... When it was my turn, I sent Mom up and got her picture with Sandi and then I went over, got my book signed and she did personalize it... The...

Our Typhoon Family lost a member this weekend... Her life was cut short by a terrible car accident... I reminds you just how quickly our lives can change in the blink of an eye... It reminds you to make every moment count... Don't waste your life thinking about what could have been... Don't dwell on what you did in the past, start making a future by living in the present... Laugh harder, sing louder, cry when you feel it and dance in the rain... Enjoy life... It's too short not too... Find one thing in each day that brought you joy... Even if it's the hot guy or girl at the gas station smiled at you... See it brought a smile to your face just thinking about it... Remember, Today is a gift, that's why we call it the Present!!! Love, peace and Live for today... Musicsongbird Live for Today... By Natalie Grant Sittin' in my room staring at the wall  Wonderin' about the meaning of it all  Why is it this thing called life  Has got me goin' cr...

Sometimes choosing to forgive someone for something they never apologized for is the hardest thing we can do... As I am going through this healing process I have had so many emotions and most of them have been directed at myself... But last week, my emotions were finally directed towards the one that did all of the damage and as hard as it is, knowing full well that I will NEVER get an apology from him... I had to forgive him... The only way I can get through my healing is by forgiving the one that did the damage and knowing I will never allow someone to hurt me like that again... I was talking to Mom on the way home from the Pin Doc today, about when I was younger and how I never made it through a slumber party until I was in the 6th grade, I think... I would get to the point in the sleep over where we were getting ready for bed and then I would start to get upset and they would have to call my house and have someone come up the street to get me... We never understood why until now....
