The Birth of REALNESS


What is REALNESS?

REALNESS is about living a life as my Lord deems, not as my flesh wants. REALNESS is about accepting the love He so wonderfully gives to me although I don't deserve it. REALNESS is opening your heart to love Him and letting Him love others through you. REALNESS is about seeking the heart of God (His will), not just His hands (His blessings). REALNESS is not sweating the small stuff. Life is too short to waste one moment in anger. Everyone has a story. Is your story real or not? Mine is REAL. My story is that I have been Redeemed Eternally and Authentically Loved from day one of accepting Christ as my Lord and Savior. Don't you want to be REAL?
...We love because he first loved us... 1 John 4:19

WHO AM I?

I am so blessed to be living in the wonderful state of TEXAS! I am a Texas Exes (I'll pause here for all LONGHORNS to “Hook 'em Horns!”). I was born/ raised in the Big D and I love my hometown. I have been wonderfully blessed to follow my passion by helping those living with diabetes. I attend the best church in the metroplex under the awesome direction of Dr. Tony Evans. Praise God for those who walk under the Lord's direction and not in the ways of this world!

Diabetes

What is this blue circle?
The universal symbol for diabetes.
The purpose of the diabetes symbol is to give diabetes a common identity.
Until 2006, there was no global symbol for diabetes.
It aims to: support all existing efforts to raise awareness about diabetes
inspire new activities, bring diabetes to the attention of the general public
brand diabetes provide a means to show support for the fight against diabetes

No child should die of diabetes
Diabetes is fast emerging as one of the most serious health problems of our time – a global epidemic that claims more lives each year than HIV/AIDS.
Children with diabetes in the developing world are particularly vulnerable. Many lack access to proper care and the life saving medicines they need. As a result, they become chronically ill; many die quickly, while others develop severe complications such as kidney failure, blindness and nerve damage.

GOD and my BRA

Sounds weird, I know. What does God have to do with my "undergarments"? Well, let me tell you. It is so easy to turn over the big things to God.....the new job, school, spouses, children....we beg and plead, please Lord just help a sister out! But God is so into details. He will handle even the small stuff if you just hand it over. Bank on His promises. Be anxious for nothing because when you turn to Him, He really will work it out. Funny story, I ordered 2 bras from essential bodywear. I knew they were coming on Friday and I was was excited (yes, excited about bras! when you are a big girl good support is hard to find!) Anyway, I checked the mail for the slip of paper indicating that a package had been delivered for me that day and was waiting in the apartment office. Weird, no slip in the mail! Awwww Man!!!! So disappointed, I went to my apartment only to find the FedEx slip on my door stating the package was in the apartment office. So I got back in my car and drove to the apartment office. They searched and checked every where. No package. I called FedEx and explained and they were equally as sure that the package had been delivered. Now, an investigation.........at this point all I could do was sit and wait. Truly, no anxiety, I just prayed for God be in the details of my life and I trusted that I would get my package, not because of the investigation, but because of what I know my God can do. Monday I spoke with the Fedex representative and the wonderful DFW bralady. Still no package, all I could do was wait and trust that it would get to me. I paid rent on Monday and asked about the package. It was there, just overlooked on Friday. Yay God! He got me my bras! I know you guys might think I am reading too much into the obtainment of my bras, but I know my God. He is in the details. Be anxious for NOTHING......I'm laughing now because so often I am discouraged by my own unbelief. Come on, He listened to me about my bras people!!! I know He is listening about the big stuff too. Somethings He handles quickly, somethings takes longer because He is designing and crafting them just for me. So God is in the small stuff too. You can miss how He is working if you only focus on the big things. Big changes come in due season, but search for Him in your everyday details. He's there, Trust me... I know. :-)
I choose to cast all my cares on the Lord and the Lord will sustain me. Psalm 55:22
