My Angel Who Wore Scrubs

-
Today's blog isn't long or super profound but I hope you find it encouraging! 


 I believe God speaks to each of us in different ways at different times. Sometimes he speaks to us to through His word, sometimes through the lyrics of a song, sometimes it is through a message or prayer there are endless ways that he speaks to us and sometimes I believe he uses total strangers as angels to speak and minister to our spirit man. The other night while laying in the hospital bed I was listening to Laura Cooksey "Rest" trying to calm my anxieties and just rest in the Lord and in walked my nurse. And thats when it all started.

 She asked me what music I was listening too. You see I don't know about you all but some times I get timid and shy and instead of boldly saying "Christian" music I more or less just whisper it. But I told her who I was listening too and thats when she then proceeded to tell me that I am "much to vibrant to let the enemy to take any more from me than he already had." She stated that I am "pure as white in Gods eyes. She continued by saying "I'm not sure what God has in store for you but I do know that it's big and the enemy has no right to you." All I could think of in that moment is oh wow God you really are close to the broken hearted and crushed in spirit. My spirit was encouraged. It's one thing to hear these things from a close friend, your mentor or even pastors but a complete stranger. It made me go "Okay God I hear you loud and clear." It wasn't just my ears that heard it but my spirit! 

 The next morning the nurse came in and asked me how I was doing I told her I was feeling discouraged and feeling unsure of everything due to lack of answers from doctors and not knowing what was next. She then told me "Evonna you know who is trying to win this battle in your mind today? Remember he has no right you are more than a conquer and He is with you even this morning so rely on Him". Again I felt my heart had been ministered to and that His presence was all around me, even in the midst of one of the hardest battles I'm facing! 

 So if you are down be encouraged He is near holding His hand out ready to grab yours. Don't walk through life empty handed place it in His and hold on tight! 

 Even though I may never see Rhonda again she will forever be my Angel Who Wore Scrubs!

 Blessings to each of you as you walk through your day and through the many trials of life!

STOP Chasing the Dream that's not Yours

C.S Lewis "You are NEVER  too old to set another goal , or to dream a new dream ." There is a part of my counselor brain that lights up when I read this quote. In therapy we have our clients set goals as a part of their treatment plan. The therapist and client work together on developing the goals. The therapist then walks along side the client as they make strides to get from point A to point B. While many of us would love for it to be a straight line and easy to obtain, that's not reality.  The second part that lights up my brain as I read this quote is the word dream . For this blog we are going to use this definition of dream - cherished aspiration, ambition, ideal. We all have an idea of how we would like life to go. I believe we all have aspirations and ambitions as well. Now some might lack motivation or struggle to visualize these aspirations or ambitions as possibilities but we can't argue that we all have an "ideal". So it's fair to say

I'm a Perfectly, Imperfect Mom

At time's I've been known to be a neat freak. Although I don't think my mother would agree. There were always arguments growing up between my sister and I of whose clothing or belongings were on the floor in the room or who made the mess in the bedroom we shared. We have since laughed about this and I still often say "Cristina is the messy one". She is a mom who goes to bed with dirty dishes in the sink, laundry coming out of the baskets, unmade beds etc. And as a single young adult there was part of me that didn't understand this. You see I have some OCD tendencies that I think are learned behaviors. I struggle to go to bed at night without making sure all the dishes are in the dish washer or are clean. I try but often fail to make sure the house is picked up and I use to be able to clean my entire house in just a few hours so never really understood why my sister didn't constantly have laundry going and why she had dishes in the dishwasher. You see t

I don't question God. I don't question His Faithfulness I don't question His love for me I don't question God. There are times when life is going smoothly and out of no where you are hit with a curve ball that hits you so hard that you feel like you can't breath even if it is just for a second. There are times when we are struck with situations that are out of our control.  And for an analytical, reasoning person such as myself when you are hit with these both at the same time and you feel so confused, and every way you turn and try to reason it there is not a reason or justification. It's simply out of ones control. For some they can keep moving forward and not miss a beat, for some it leaves them lifeless and unable to get out of bed. For the analytical, overthinkers again you try to make sense of it all but you just can't. So you begin to move towards accepting it for what it is even without understanding and some days you do great with it and then t
