*Great thanks to my brother Troy who got me here, helping me with my severe pain daily, while building this site with confidence. God bless you Troy-keep looking at Jesus for your next calling, every time!
*Remarkable thanks to my best friend Libby. I asked her a favor, knowing her brilliant brain and skills with verbage, I asked if she could hack at my gorgeous necklaces I was putting up for the first day to open. I don't have that gift after 3 major brain surgeries, so I thought I'd give her a few necklaces in return to about 25 to be described. Once I saw her first 5 I had to keep her. She should be in Hollywood!!! WOW!!! I still name them, as for they are all different, and come straight from my heart, following especially since I began to do it to help take the pain of all my body from my 3rd brain surgery. It helped.... more than that, made my heart for Christ grow so much larger-even in the pain!! As for the 3rd AWAKE brain surgery cut away at so much of the cognitive-the short term memory, cognitive, language area--yet I wasn't overly affected in those areas and I received a gift from Jesus. They took out a great portion of the left which made the right take up some major work. But at the same time, the right side showed me it was already fulfilled with many artistic gifts, that was all covered and seizing, and strained before. I am now an artist. I was never before. I would buy gifts for my best friends.... they would make. So every day I was unable to walk due to the pain, I'd lay or sit as best as I could, and in the end of that very painful day-would have had beautiful thoughts to Christ, or with my husband, or blessings of my daughter and brother, the necklaces of all colors and delight-each with a pendant would sparkle and somehow make it look like I felt great. And in a way, I do with this talent to share with all of you!! My mind is on focus of many dates, actions, times, events, moments, love, surprises, sad turned happy, visiting others with my condition of EEG in the hospital. My craving thru all of this is just to continue to help people who suffer endlessly the way I have. But more so, those ones who don't know our Savior Jesus Christ. Out of 30+ hopitalizations of mine half of those I found Him and was on fire for Him. And the difference is literally "breath taking...." when you enter the hospital room, full of friends, family, nurses, docs, neighbors--laughing. Then reach to each others hands and pray. Not just for me, perfect surgery or wellness-but for Jesus to hold me tight, while He is the master surgeon, guide the others thru as well. And if something during the surgery doesn't match YOUR WILL Jesus, you hold them back. And they'd continue to pray for success, quick easy healing, but nothing but His WIll!!! As for that will bring Him Glory-and once we grasp it afterward, we can see the beauty it still has reaching from the East to the West. Now it is my time to help stretch it continually, and beautifully, but only for our Savior, and all you precious souls who know Him today--and may later. I was a later. I am eternally grateful or I wouldn't be typing this to you all. I accepted Him at 26 when I thought exiting by strong pills was the answer to whom is now my ex husband who beat me first day our daughter Tory and I got into out TX appartment near where he was stationed. That was our end, but my beginning to many doctors great help at Mayo Hospital, and finding Jesus Christ-alone, crying and searching for a church. Thank God my church Cornerstone Christian Fellowship had trip of purple--it called me in!! Took several overdoses, and last one to almost take my life, daughter, family, and new boyfriend-now husband away. No one can top Mayo Clinic on their care. They look at the circumstances and know that isn't me, I do no more-I just am overly addicted, and in pain from what my ex caused. And I know just in general I was scared.
But nothing and no one stopped me from #1 stopping that medication #2 doing all they ask such as psychology/psychiatry. It took about a year to think less bad about it. That is when they were able to move me onto 2nd brain surgery April of 2005-it did not fix everything completely-but many huge auras I'd get-dissipated.
Not long after I was blessed with a wedding. Date was to replace the date my ex beat me 10/6 we wed at our church, mine I intro'd him to-2007. My daughter was our precious flowergirl.
Within the all that sounds so good, I had so many illnesses pop in. Liver was looking bad from the medicine I had to take which also took me down to 91 lbs. Kidney issues, TMJ, seizures, seizures, tonic clonic kind, my daughter took after me and is medicated. I still could continue, but it gets scary telling you all that I can't run anymore, as for walking is such a severe one day and impossible another. When I see the walker out, that I know really means my family just care. But the best part, I still can make necklesses and more!! I've just learned it is all about attitude of what you have done in life, can do in life, will do in life-and being thrilled with both the small things and big things, while looking forward to all of God's things planned...and walking His plan. Jesus will never keep a secret from you, this I promise. Not on your life you are living right now, so don't keep one from Him.
I love you all.... and daily look forward to talking either on one of my twitters, facebook, myBelieve2Shine.com, by cell (iPhone), by text. I am here, as much as my body allows me to be, and Jesus has plans for me to be!! So let's rock!!
I love you all and thank you graciously for such care, prayers, love, and support....and all your beauty to fit these necklaces I've made!!!!!!!
