Compassion goes a long ways

"Compassion is passion with a heart"

It's true. When Jesus plants you, you will grow just like a plant grows with water and care.
You will do the same. 

The last few weeks I can just feel Jesus growing me. Growing me to what he wants me to be. All that he wants me to be. 
I often tear up when I think about how Jesus has planted me. 
"Love is Viral" 
Craig 
Little did I know that my interview would be the start of something beautiful. 
"If your body needs to move then move!" 
Fast forward to last week. Moving and accidentally hitting Craig's computer. Seconds of him saying "If your body needs to move then you let it move!" 
It's OK. 
All my life I have heard "Why does she do that?" 
"Are you cold?" 
But never those words! 

Growing up I never dreamed that Jesus was molding me and growing me to be all that I can be.
A few weeks ago Pastor Matt said "The road might just get tough but Jesus will stick those people in your pathway to help you overcome it." 
Speaking of Pastor Matt...While he was in Muncie I was able to have a Chick-fil-a breakfast date with him. I was so excited for him to meet my amazing co-workers! 
Your right Pastor Matt, Jesus knows just who we need to help us overcome life's challenges. 
I am so glad he thought I was special enough to place you in that pathway!

This past week was hard. With a sweet "good-bye" to such a sweet friend today. 
Ending with a hug (Chick-fil-a has taught me well) and a "Thank you for being my friend!" 
What a beautiful hand made gift that is hanging in my house! 
Abby, I couldn't have asked for a sweeter friend then you! 
I am so glad Jesus allowed you to come into my life when he did. 
I can't wait to watch how he uses you! 

In the last few weeks we hosted our very first ever dystonia support group here in IN.
I am so thankful for the sweet passion Jesus has placed in my heart to help others with Dystonia. 
If I could take it away, I would but then I think why take something so beautiful away? Dystonia is beautiful.
It's not always pretty...in fact it's messy but beauty comes from the heart not the body! 
I come home one day last week to find this...
My eyes filling up with tears that someone would care enough to do this! 
When that someone is your amazing beautiful fourth grade teacher. Who had you in class years ago! She's still making an impact on my life yet today.
Teacher's who love to teach love their students even more! 
And for that I am grateful.

To end this blog post that is kinda everywhere...
This year's Hunt for a Cure is handing out awards to two deserving people/places.
This years awards are going to Chick-fil-a in Muncie, The Sample's
and to Trey Hollingworth! 
The compassion that these places/offices have had for dystonia and others this year have been more then we could have ever ask for! 
Please join us on September 29th to help us hand these two so deserving awards out! 
If you see them around make sure to thank them for supporting dystonia day in and day out. 
Come help us Hunt for the second year in hopes to finding a cure soon! 

"Dream big!"
