BOMBARDED!

Today almost everyone is on social media. Social media can be a VERY positive tool if you use it for good. Without facebook, I would have little connection with people who share my medical condition. For it, facebook has been an invaluable resource. Sadly, I see more and more people using facebook and other social media outlets to spread negativity and to push their own political agenda. I am all for people speaking up for their beliefs! However, let me ask you something. How many of you feel bombarded by negativity? How many of you would feel better if you weren't on facebook? I know I would feel better if I spent time off facebook, but I would also miss all my friends. Facebook can be a great resource but I also believe that it is making people further divided. There is so much hatred and negativity on facebook. People even get scared but what they see on facebook! I know I have. The thing is we need to begin to unplug from the negativity. If we want to be the change we want to see in the world, then we need to be careful of what we say and what we post on facebook. We all have heard that the words we say are a reflection of our heart. The same is true for what we post on social media platforms! It makes me sad when I see what people post on facebook. It makes me sad because  I have learned about what we post on social media is what people are feeling inside their hearts! They are scared! They are hurting! They are angry! We were made for SO MUCH MORE then the way we are living today! Do you want to be a vehicle that brings about positive change? Do you want to get rid of the fear, hurt and anger? Do you want to reengage yourself with things that REALLY matter- family, friends, faith, hope and love?

Letting Go of Hatred and Anger

There have been a lot of scared people today as President Trump becomes our 45th President. It BREAKS my heart to see all this! People behaving badly and getting arrested. People saying things that make sound so bad, like there is no hope. Now, I DO NOT agree with everything that Trump has said or done. I acknowledge his faults BUT I REFUSE to be Anti-Trump and my heart filled with fear and hatred. I refuse to be scared and feel our Country is without hope. I truly believe that everything is going to be okay. I believe that we need need to cool down to the best of our ability. I am at TOTAL peace because I HOLD ONTO THE WORD OF GOD. I cannot imagine not having the perspective. I cannot imagine living in fear. Whatever happens will happen. Build your life on the ROCK. Otherwise, you will truly only sink. I am not trying to preach to you about what to believe. I am only saying why I am at peace and why I am not afraid. If you want to know how to find that same peace, I'd be willing to talk with you. The thing is we must let go of all our hatred and fear. If we don't our lives will be missing everything that wholesome, good and true. When we let go of those chains and fears, we have a freedom that brings about REAL PEACE! Isn't that what you want? For you to be at peace, the only way to is to let go of hate and anger and move forward. If you want to learn more about letting fear, let me know and I can help lead you to the answer about how to let that go.

Touched By An Angel Episode: Into The Light

I watched an Touched by An Angel episode this afternoon and it has to be one of the most powerful episodes in the whole series! It ALWAYS gets to me and I have had to share it with you!

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL
SEASON 3
EPISODE 10: Into The Light

Written by Bob Colleary
Created by John Masius

In this episode James Block (David Marciano) is a man who is arrested in a sting robbery. He also happens to have a heart condition and has cheated death in the past. As part of his punishment, he is forced to do community service at a hospital. During his time in the hospital, he cheats death again by having another heart attack. He sees Andrew- the Angel of Death (John Dye). He also sees a bright light and also darkness. When a teenage girl with cystic fibrosis meets James, she tells him that he was given a second chance to do good things and turn his life around. He takes this news the wrong way though. He begins to do all these good things for other patients, including the teenage girl, Amy Ann McCoy (Kirsten Dunst). James does all these good things thinking it will get him into heaven. The Angels have to remind him about his second chance. They remind them that God loves him and that he has choice. Andrew describes how death isn't scary. He describes heaven as a beautiful place and that light is only the beginning. James turns his life over to God after learning that he cannot to heaven on his own. At the end of the episode, Amy Ann is dying and James tell her that everything is okay and to allow Jesus to take her to heaven. Andrew touches her and she passes away to Elvis Presley' s version of Precious Lord, Take My Hand.

I find this episode to be truly amazing. Today, we try to do everything on our own. We make our own choices and do what we want to do, when we want to do it. We forget to let go of the reigns and realize that nothing is possible on our own. For example, I wouldn't be doing well in college on my own, I wouldn't have survived to birth on my own, I wouldn't be proving Dr's wrong on my own. We all given chance after chance to see the light. We just need to let the of reigns.

On Honesty

I have made some mistakes in my life. We all have done things we regret. We have words that we wish we could take back, relationships that we wish we could mend, hearts we broken we wished we could mend. I have not always been honest about things. I did it not in a mean or callous way but in a way to not hurt people. I was afraid if I told them how I really felt then it make them not want to be my friend. I have not had the best of luck with friendships. I have been hurt so much that I stopped trusting people so I would internalize my feelings and lie. This has hurt people and for that I am sorry. I know that I need to be honest with people now. I learned that my current friends should be punished for what has been done to me in the past. I know now how to trust people. I have learned to be honest with them and learn that it will not hurt our friendship but actually make it so much better. Honesty with ourselves is the first step. We need to look deep inside and examine ourselves. After we examine ourselves we need to come clean with those we love. We need to see things through their perspective. We need to emphasize with them so that we then movie forward. I am glad to say that this is now in my past. My mask is off and I have learned to trust people. Can people still hurt us? Yes. But if we are honest then we have done everything that we possible can. I hope today that you are not holding back anything for those you love. It is NOT worth it. I have learned time and time again that the truth ALWAYS comes out! It is more hurtful when it comes out later as a lie. There is a song by Brandon Heath that I love and I want to close out this post with it. It is titled "I'm not Who I Was." I think of the people who I have hurt, the people who have left me for one reason or another. I wish they could see me today, how far I've come and how much I have learned. I know if they could see me today that they would want to my friend again.


 

Respect our Leaders

 In a few weeks, President-Elect Trump will take office as our next President. This has caused a lot of unrest on our nation and also the world. A lot of people are so scared. Certain groups such as immigrants and people in the LBGT community feel threatened. It is scary to see so much division here in what we call the United States of America. Are we really united? Are we really together? Are we so set in our ways that we divide our own nation into groups? We divide us into communities- LBGT, African American, White, and so on and so forth. We blamed Obama for this division, and now we focus our blame on Trump. The thing is, when we focus our blame on one person we lose the much bigger picture. The bigger picture is that each of us make the choices we make. We need to look deep inside ourselves and hold ourselves accountable for our own. If we really want things change in our nation, our world, we need to look inside ourselves. Nothing will change unless we look deep inside ourselves and be the part of the change. I am also saying that we have a responsibility as hard as it may seem to respect all our leaders including Trump. If we do not show respect for our leaders then nothing is going to change. We need to work together as one. Division will never get better if we do not respect those in authority. I believe in America. I truly believe that if everyone looks inside themselves then we can truly be united again. Let's break down the walls that divide us and move forward together. We depend on this and our children depend on this!

Welcome!

Hello! My name is Molly! I am 27 years old and 4'8. I like horses, traveling, dogs, camping, hiking and most of all being with my family. I am introverted which makes me a deep thinker. I also have multiple diagnoses including Turner Syndrome and a specific learning disability. This blog will not be about Turner Syndrome and will not discuss it in other post. It is not something I don't like to spend time dwelling about. I just want to live life and to have fun! I want to be known for that! I am Christian who was raised in a Christian home. My thoughts also revolve around that worldview but I will not be preaching. I just simply want to share with my thoughts and hope it blesses someone. Although, I am not going to be preach to you here, there is a Christian song that I want to close this post with. It describes me and all I've been though in a nutshell! I hope you enjoy this video!
