Many of you who read this have heard me talk about and request prayer Kyle Sherrill. I post today asking for more prayer on his behalf.
According to this post that his mom, Kelly posted today, Kyle is scheduled to have his hernia repaired on March 4th. I ask anyone and everyone who reads this to start praying now. Pray for Kyle, pray for his parents Kelly and John, pray for the doctors and nurses that will be taking care of him. Just lift the situation up daily.
Kyle's story is a miracle story and it gives clear evidence that prayer works. So, I ask you to please pray and have others pray as well for this precious family. Thank you!!

Lessons Learned From Dark Moments
"I've got a story, I've got a story to tell, and I wish it was a pretty one." ~Michael Kisur~
I get told many times how wonderful my attitude is about my disability and how I handle it. And often, those remarks cause me to inwardly cringe. Why? Because I know the truth. I know the times I have wondered why and wished it could be different. I know the times my attitude, while on the outside portrayed that everything was fine, while inside, I was hurting and confused. I know the nights alone in my room where I had thoughts of just wanting it all to stop, for everything to just be over and done. I know. I know how bad it got. I know. And it was anything BUT good. And with that brings guilt...A LOT of guilt.
I'm learning that one of the hardest things a person can do is forgive. Not someone else...Yes, while that may be hard, often times the person hardest to forgive is our self. Because we know that many times the person we see in the mirror is not the person we are and we have to find a way to manage that.
The thing is...I have to remember, that I've already been forgiven. Everything I've done, everything I've considered doing, everything I will do has been forgiven. Is it for me to say that Jesus dying for me...For EVERYTHING I've done was not enough? No. It's a struggle every day though. It's a choice every day for me to look at myself and say "You're forgiven."
Another thing I'm learning....It's in those darkest moments that God will get the most glory.....If we allow it. See, I know that since my darkest moment in 2006, that God is working on me BECAUSE of that time. I have a story that someone out there needs to hear...I don't know who, or when, or why...But someone somewhere is in the place where I was...And I can give them hope. I can share with them what God did for me...How He showed up in a very unlikely way and how in that moment, everything changed. I can BE that for another person. But if I'm constantly walking around hanging on to the guilt of how I almost blew it, then I'm wasting time. And I'm more than likely missing chances to help other people. God wants to give my pain a purpose.
I'm not saying that God wanted me in a depressed state...That wasn't His doing. That was all Satan. There were two voices I could have listened to during that time and instead of listening to His still small voice, I listened to the one that screamed at me endlessly. The one that told me I wasn't good enough, smart enough, the one that told me I was damaged and slow, the voice that told me I was alone and that nobody knew how I felt, that nobody had been where I was. It was that voice that made praying difficult...So difficult in fact that I stopped praying and started begging...For anything to prove him wrong. For anything to make everything okay again....And God showed up. Revealing Himself through Patrick Dempsey in a youtube video on a late September night in 2006....God showed up as I listened to Patrick Dempsey's story and heard my own. God showed up.
No, God did not want me in that depressed state, but He took my darkest moment and gave it purpose. He showed me that one person, one voice, one action, one story can make a difference. And after that night....I'm changed. I'm changed because I know God can use me. I can be that one person for someone else. My outlook is different, my purpose is different, my perspective is different.
I wake up every morning and before I even leave my bedroom, I look at myself in the mirror and say to myself. "You're forgiven." Forgiveness, like everything else doesn't happen overnight, it's a process, but for me, saying that is a start and a reminder to not let guilt that has already been taken care of by my Creator, hold me back from what God is doing and wants to do through me.
I'm working on saving up for a bracelet I want that I want to have inscribed with "The Dempsey Difference" so that I can have a constant reminder on my wrist at all times of that moment and what I've learned because of it.
I don't share this easily, and I can imagine many of you probably have a very different picture of me now and that's understandable. I write this though with one favor to ask:
If you're carrying guilt today...Let it go. God has something He wants to do through YOU and He can't use you to the fullest extent if you won't allow Him to. Let it go. You're forgiven.

Thirty Things
Marlena actually tagged me to do this on Facebook but I'm doing it here instead.
You are supposed to write 30 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. So, here goes...
1) I was born three and a half months early weighing under two pounds at birth.
2) My longest and most faithful friend in this world has to be Kristi Johnson. We met in Kindergarten and are still very very close to this day.
3) I jump at everything. I'm told it's CP related.
4) I know every single line to Charlotte's Web
5) The first time I remember having a favorite anything was when I saw Sela Ward for the first time. What an actress! She's the reason I got into acting...I wanted to be just like her, and to this day she is my all time favorite actress.
6) I became a Christian at the age of 11. Michael W. Smith's song "Secret Ambition" is what lead me to ask Christ into my life. MWS is my all time favorite music artist.
7) I HATE confrontation and will do anything to avoid it.
8) I'm not into religion. However, ask me about my RELATIONSHIP with Christ, and I'll talk forever.
9) I'm learning that I'm not 100 percent okay with my disability but I am learning to be. Like anything else...It's a process.
10) I could eat Italian food for the rest of my life and be happy. I also believe french fries should be a food group all on its own.
11) My favorite teacher (and probably person) of all time is one of my high school math teachers, Steve Lang. His rock solid faith in me is matched by no one. Sometimes I don't even uderstand the unwaivering confidence he has in me. He's one of the constants in my life even today and he's still one of the first people I go to for advice. I'm a better person because he is in my life.
12) At one time I wished to be a certified sign language interpreter. Julie Posey is my inspiration and it is because of her that I know three songs in sign.
13) I know how to ski. Winter Park Colorado is an amazing place to experience that for the first time.
14) I'm a Dr. Pepper addict.
15) Every ring I wear has meaning behind it.
16) I hope to one day move to L.A. and have a job in the entertainment industry.
17) If I say "I love you" I mean it. If I say, "I'm praying for you" I mean it. I don't throw those phrases around.
18) Patrick Dempsey saved my life. I thank God for him every single day and my dream is to meet him and tell him how his story changed my story.
19) The song "A World to Believe in" by Celine Dion describes perfectly what Patrick did for me. I still cry every time I hear it. Hear the song and read the lyrics HERE.
20) I get REALLY into the television shows that I watch. I literally talk to the t.v. as if the people can hear me. Drives my Mom nuts.
21) I have some of my best moments with God in the shower.
22) I cling to Jeremiah 29:11.
23) My college years were the worst years of my life. Especially 2006. Never have I ever been that depressed. Ever.
24) One of my favorite quotes ever is by Scott Crenshaw: "I do not work for God TO BE saved, I work for God BECAUSE I'm saved."
25) My goal when I was a little girl was to grow my hair as long as Crystal Gayle's. I didn't keep it.
26) Don't bother trying to talk to me on Thursday's beginning around 8:30 (to give tivo time to record so we can fast forward through commercials). I'll be watching Grey's Anatomy and crossing my fingers for some great scenes for my favorite fictional couple: Meredith and Derek. (Note: He has a RING!!!!!!!!)
27) I believe everything happens for a reason.
28) No matter how confident I may seem, I still struggle with insecurities about the way I was made and how people perceive me.
29) I want to be genuinely loved, not merely tolerated.
30) Being an Aunt is the best job in the world.

I Have A Dream...
I blog today with a mixture of things on my mind, I use writing and this blog as my outlet so I hope you'll bear with me today as I just kinda dump the things on my mind here.
I have a dream. Meeting Patrick Dempsey. And as you may have read my reasons are very personal. I often feel guilty for having this particular dream. There are so many other things I should want more, but I don't. I want this more than I think I've ever wanted anything. And I have no idea why, of all the thing I DO want in life: a great job that I love--preferably in the entertainment industry, to fall in love, to get married...Of ALL the things I want, THIS is the thing I want the most, THIS is the one that I beg God for in the late hours of the night, THIS is the one that I dream about (literally), and THIS is the one that instantly pops into my head whenever anyone asks, "what are your dreams and goals?" I know people are reading this rolling their eyes as they read this, but I'm just sharing my heart right now. I'm trying to be honest. I have no idea why this trumps everything else that I wish for, but it does. I want this to happen so badly. Perhaps part of the reason may be because there is something deep down that won't be healed until this happens. I not only want it, It seems to be a need as well. Whatever the case, this is a very frusturating dream to have.....
It's frustrating because I hear and see so many times that if you work hard enough, if you want it badly enough, then all of your dreams can be reached. However, I don't know if my dream falls into that same category. When your deepest dream is to meet someone, it really seems to be out of your hands...It's not one of those things like a test where if you study hard enough, you'll pass it, or if you just keep working at it, you'll get that college diploma, or that promotion at work. Yes, there are certain things you can do to make your appreciation for this person known, and hope they get the message somehow, some way. But beyond that, there's nothing I can do.
The only thing I can do is try my best to pay it forward and hope and pray that God does the rest. The only way this will ever happen is if God makes a way. I can't work my way toward it, I can't study in order for it to happen, it is out of my hands totally and that often leads to me just going to God often throughout the day, praying that He makes a way for Patrick and I to meet one day. And I have to believe that He will. I HAVE to believe that He would not cause me to want something this badly if He did not intend to make it happen. I HAVE to believe. I HAVE to keep praying. I HAVE to believe that it's only a matter of time before my story DOES get to Patrick. I have to believe that it's only a matter of time before I can thank him personally.
I have a BIG dream, but I serve a BIG God and He WILL make it a reality!

A Hand to Hold
My niece Alexis came home with a splinter this afternoon. As my Mom worked to try and free the splinter as painlessly as possible, Alexis looked at me with tears in her eyes and took my hand saying, "I want to hold your hand, Nat-Nat."
Sometimes just having a hand to hold makes things better.

GA Thoughts: "Wish You Were Here"
So, it's been awhile since I posted one of these. Mostly, because there hasn't been a lot I've felt like commenting on, but this past week's show is worthy of a small blog at least.
* Loved the theme of the show: Wishing. I know a thing or two about that. Don't we all?
* The serial killer storyline has me very intrigued with where they might be going with it and how all are involved. Mainly Meredith. My gut tells me something's going to happen and she's going to be in need of rescuing. I don't want her hurt, but if it means that a certain "knight in shining whatever" shows up to do the rescuing, then I could handle it. *wink* Mer's just that compassionate. She could get herself into it before even knowing it.
* Eric Stoltz as the serial killer....VERY believable! I wonder how the cast will act around him once he's back behind the scenes as director! I've read that they are having a blast with him now that he is "just an actor." I tell ya...He creeps me out. The way he calmly and nonchalantly described how he killed those women....*Shudder* My mom brought up a good point though...Would the guard realistically LET him share that with Meredith and Cristina, who are women and he seems to have at least a bit of pull with Mer already anyway. I just think the guard would halt any conversation like that.
* Gotta say, I know Mer and Cristina are BFF's and that I should want them to make up, but I'm enjoying Cristina NOT popping up in all of MerDer's scenes and stealing Mer away. I could withstand things as they are a little longer. And besides, Mer's already apologized...Cristina needs to be knocked down a few pegs anyway. Get over it, and move on.
* Bravo for character growth on both Meredith and Derek's part. Communication! Who would have thought it would look so great with them! I'm SO proud!
* This scene...Rocked. Way to go, Patrick!
* So, we're FINALLY finding out more about Derek and his family. We were told how his father, died and thus gained more understanding as to why he's such a staunch "pro punishment" person. Very good reasons there if you ask me. I just assumed his Dad was sick and died. Getting shot never entered my mind but it definitely folds into the storyline well and gives PD some great back story to work with. Thanks for that, writers!
*And Derek...and his Dorky Derek Dance...I think it made me love him even more! He just got home from having to deal with creepy serial killer, revealed how his dad died, and then in an effort to cheer up his girlfriend...Danced it out with her. Something tells me the "get your rear over here, I'm not doing this by myself line was Patrick talking to Ellen...Not Derek talking to Meredith. It was hysterical, but oh so sweet as well. Makes me have that much more appreciation for what PD might have had to go through doing the dance scene in Enchanted. Kudos to you, Patrick! You put a smile on the faces of ladies everywhere.
* Can't wait for next week when Derek's McMom (played by Tyne Daly) shows up!!! PLEASE be nice to her, McMom! She's had enough "mommy issues" to last a lifetime. Change her perceptions about all mom's being like Ellis Grey. Love her, accept her, be everything Ellis Grey never was. Please, McMom. Do it for Derek. Do it for your (hopefully) soon to be daughter-in-law. *wink*
And there ya have it! Perhaps next week will be just as blog worthy. We shall see!

Getting shot never entered my mind but it definitely folds into the storyline well and gives PD some great back story to work with. Thanks for that, writers!
*And Derek...and his Dorky Derek Dance...I think it made me love him even more! He just got home from having to deal with creepy serial killer, revealed how his dad died, and then in an effort to cheer up his girlfriend...Danced it out with her. Something tells me the "get your rear over here, I'm not doing this by myself line was Patrick talking to Ellen...Not Derek talking to Meredith. It was hysterical, but oh so sweet as well. Makes me have that much more appreciation for what PD might have had to go through doing the dance scene in Enchanted. Kudos to you, Patrick! You put a smile on the faces of ladies everywhere.
* Can't wait for next week when Derek's McMom (played by Tyne Daly) shows up!!! PLEASE be nice to her, McMom! She's had enough "mommy issues" to last a lifetime. Change her perceptions about all mom's being like Ellis Grey. Love her, accept her, be everything Ellis Grey never was. Please, McMom. Do it for Derek. Do it for your (hopefully) soon to be daughter-in-law. *wink*
And there ya have it! Perhaps next week will be just as blog worthy. We shall see!
