“I remember when Jesus lit a fire under me that only he could unlight within me. I remember my very first blog that went public. My roommate and I were sitting on the couch and Haley who was my roommate at the time says, “CHELSI! Your blog just went viral!”
Where friendships were made and will last a lifetime...
I remember the start of speaking when Melissa handed me the mic and walked away. Who knew that would start one of the biggest chapters of my life on this earth. From there, I began speaking everywhere and anywhere! I remember winning the essay for the Dougles Krämer award world wide inviting me to Washington and Captiol Hill.
Washington is where I knew I wasn’t alone in this life. It’s where Jesus opened up doors that no man would be able to shut.
Side note:Somedays I feel like I’m doing this life alone. I’m sure we all have those days where we are stuck in our own pitty parties. Asking Jesus all the “why’s”, and when we don’t get the answers we want we are quick to think Jesus is an unfair kinda guy.
It’s human to be bitter. It’s human to be heartbroken. I always explain it to others as a grieving stage. You go through these strange but needed stages to come to a point of accepting it isn’t going to change. At some point you realize that your life has to go on.
The last few years I have had to relive all the journey as the Hunt gets closer and I share my journey with the world. To be honest it hurts. It hurts really badly. To relive all the doctors who gave up on me. Who walked away because it was “hard”. I will never forget a neurosurgeon looking at me and saying, “Wow your life must suck!” The moment of denied letters for a simulator. I don’t think my heart ever hurt that badly before. The time a doctor said to me, “You don’t want to live like this!” You never forget words that are said to you that end up hurting you.
I’m about to be the author of a brand new book that shares my journey step by step. After the book is finished, I am so happy and heavy hearted to announce this part of my life has came to an ending point. Sometimes, you just have to keep your eyes on the road ahead without looking back.
Realizing that your past is what has helped shape who you are.
One of the biggest role models in my whole entire life.
I couldn't image doing this life without him as my boss but more importantly as that Dad role model at work!
My book includes so many details of my journey and I truly hope you all understand the love Jesus has had for me even through the love I did not have for him.
A chapter that talks about when I got a diagnosis and how It changed everything but changes nothing all at once. How when I got a diagnosis was so happy until I realized there wasn’t a cure. No one could fix it. And boy was I ticked when that became a reality.
Dystonia will always be apart of me but it’s not all of me. I’m excited about what chapter and adventures Jesus has in store for my life next. I could use your prayers as this life is hard and I have to remember I am just passing through. Health is a good thing but sickness is far greater when you know that that’s the only way you would have given your heart to Jesus.
I truly hope that this blog post doesn’t disappoint anyone but if it does I apologize.
