Two years ago i had gotten chroniclely sick. I was in seventh grade at the time. Terrible stomach pain and on going vomiting. I went from doctor to doctor and they all said the same thing “I am a mystery girl.” just what i wanted to hear right.My mom and dad pulled me out of school for the rest of the year. It was so tragic i could hardly stand it. I was so dehydrated so weak i was also losing a lot of weight and i was not fat to begin with.
School is out now and i am starting a new school for a fresh start. still sick and not eating all day i signed up for girls basket ball. What a mistake i was too tired to carry on. i felt bad for my mom and dad i felt like a terrible burden. what parent wouldn’t want there child to be 100% healthy? Well i also got pulled out of that school for the same reasons. That year passed i was home alone all day and it was really getting to me. lots of testing also but no answers. the doctors put me on lots of acid reducers but since i have been taking acid replacers i have been much better.
I am going to start a new school year and make lots of new friends. What i have learned from all this is to really thank god for your health, in one second everything can change. i had never of thought that i would have gotten sick for two years. So remember to enjoy life give lots of hugs and kisses and thank god for your health.

Living in hilly snow country 35 miles south of Buffalo, New York is a colorful experience all year long. One of the best experiences was a particular winter morning. We had several feet of snow on the ground and an ice storm had covered everything.
As I waited for the bus to go to work, I admired the moon over the western hills as the sun crept over the eastern hills. I was sorry when the bus came because the scene was enchanting, however, the bus
driver closed the door and sat there watching the sky begin to lighten with shades of yellow, red, violet and light blue. Soon the ice on all the trees was sparkling as though they had been covered with diamond dust. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that God was at work as we silently communed with nature at her best. We carried that scene in our hearts and minds for a long time; for me it has been more than 40 years. No artist ever produced a more inspiring panorama.
I am sure we all went to work that day with a renewed outlook.

I wonder if my kids understand the importance of cultivating, nurturing and maintaining healthy loving relationships. Do they understand that you can have a garage full of nice cars, big houses, fancy vacations, designer clothes but still be one of the loneliest, most unhappy people in the world. Think about it, if you knew your kids were going to be financially sound and have nice houses and cars but hadn’t talked to their sister or brother in a year OR worse yet even you, would it break your heart? We take for granted the closeness and tight bonds we have with them while they are young. We have control of this right now, but when they are grown whatever relationships we want to have with them might solely depend on them and what values we have imparted. And furthermore, what they have watched us do!

God allows miracles to happen when its least expected. March 23, 1991 my mother’s first child myself Jocelyn Marie Blake was born. When I was born they had discovered that I had run out growing room in my mother’s womb so my legs were not able to develop properly. My mother was happy despite my complication. However, because of this complication other problems had raised. The doctor told her that there was something wrong with the bones in my legs. My legs were severely bowed and my bones were too soft and I wouldn’t be able to walk. With a broken heart my mother took this piece of information and returned home. She refused to believe what the doctors had said and went on her own search. (more…)

If only I knew then, what I know now life would be a lot different. Life might have been easier, decisions might not have been so hard. But thats the beauty of life. The unknown day that lies ahead of us. The simple fact is that, if we did know then what we know now, we would all be a bunch of smart ass’s. Life’s lessons, that only life can teach us, would never be learned. Thats why I am thankful that life didn’t give me the easy route. It chewed me up and spit me out. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

I was running late like a typical 17 year old. Life waited on me, I didn’t wait on life. It was that ignorant notion that got me into where I was going in the first place. “Not a care in the world” seemed to be my life motto at that typical time. I was nervous, I mean who wouldn’t be? Life would never throw me a bunch of cards I didn’t know how to play. Never. I was wrong. (more…)

Recently I put up a sign that said “Nothing is too hard for God” and people started throwing stones at it, so I took it down. Now I’ve put it up again and I will leave it up no matter what.

“Mommy, I want some chocolate milk.” Stormy then bellowed from the family room.
“Sure thing.” I said as I got up from the computer chair and walked into the kitchen. Opening the door to the fridge, noticing that chocolate milk was something of a memory. “Shoot.” I mumbled as I went in to explain to the little monsters that there was to be no more chocolate milk. Four smiling faces were waiting there. Staring up from their movie. Looking at me with hope in their eyes.
“We are all out of chocolate milk” I calmly said.
“No…. I want chocolate milk!” they all screamed. Their faces turning from angelic to demonic within seconds.
“Okay.. I will go to the store.”
“I want chocolate milk now.” the five year old bellowed.
“We are gonna die of being thirsty.” The angry mob chanted.
“Mommy is getting dressed right now. I just have to put on some clothes and makeup.”
Now, trying to reason with a five, four, three and two year old is just not gonna work. They do not know reason. They are so self-centered it is funny. I moved as quickly as I could. Trying my best to get dressed without making them even more angry. The twelve year old trying to put the two year olds little shoes on. “Mom.. Isaiah kicked me.”
“He is two.. It could not have hurt you.” I said.. Hoping he would be shamed into silence.
