GIRL…. IT’S MY ANNIVERSARY!! SEIZURE ANNIVERSARY! 2 months since my life has been flipped all around like crazy, but you won’t hear not one complaint because GOD IS GOOD. He’s been blessing me and allowing me to still bless others so I’m happy. I don’t like to look like what I go through. Now I do have my days where I am feeling horrible, but that’s sickness and that is life. But girl grab ahold of your sick and tell it you will not control me.

Every day try and do something you wouldn’t normally do. I sit in bed every day. My meds and epilepsy wear me out and leave me tired and dizzy. Sometimes the headaches are even worse, so I can’t move. I got up today though, combed my hair, and made it to the kitchen to do my devotional and make a little content. Normally I’m in bed doing all of this, but not today. It might not be for long, but at least I was able to do it. It feels good not to be in bed, I’ll say that.

You are a warrior and you can and will prevail. No matter what you have going on. Celebrate with me today!! I love you all, xoxo Val

Girl listen, sometimes we get so much in a rut that we forget at some point we prayed to get where we are. Hear me out because right now you might be like, Val… what you mean?? I saw it in a post one day, stopped, and thought about it. It really made me think and It changed my outlook on a lot of things. I feel like we need to be a little more thankful and grateful for where we are and also patient in God’s plan for us. I’m going to use myself as an example so you understand what I mean a little better.

I’m 37, married, with 3 kids, and a stay at home mom. I’ve been epileptic now for almost 2 years and it kind of just happen out of now where. When it happened I was working full time, taking care of my babies, holding my house together while my husband was on the road driving, and life was a little chaotic. It caused life to slow all the way down.

I get in a mood a lot y’all because life is so different now. I went from always on the go to barely movin around. Sometimes I have to remind myself, “girl regardless… YOU PRAYED FOR THIS…. A better living situation, a better relationship with God, a good circle of friends, my village surrounding me and my family. I have all that”.

So just because somethings may falter doesn’t mean I didn’t receive the other blessings I had been praying for. God’s plan is still on course and I just have to be patient and see what he has in store for me. One thing I do know he has in store is healing and I am patiently waiting while I do the work I need to do. I will be healed. PERIOD 💅🏾

I saw a quote that said:

“I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who wasn't sorry and accept an apology I never received”

Whewww that’s true forgiveness and that takes work for some. To know someone isn’t sorry for what they did to you and doesn’t even plan on apologizing can hurt you to the core. I know you’re like, “Nah Val, there’s no way I’m letting them get away with this”. Listen, all you’re truly doing is hurting yourself by holding onto all the hurt and anger girl. Give it to God and let it go fr! Start your healing journey and God will take care of the rest as He always does. Have you truly known God not to provide? There is absolutely no reason to sit there and stew in anger for weeks or months at a time. We have better things to do. Now this might be the pot calling the kettle because like I said before, ya girl is not perfect 👀. I’m working on it, I promise lol. We are going to work on it together though.
