"If you get tired learn to rest, not to quit!"

"Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work!" When communication has become so overwhelming these last few weeks. I really struggle with communication. In my mind I know what I am thinking but to process that out loud to make sense is a huge struggle for me. The hardest part is that you can not understand what you haven't through. You can not understand those overwhelming moments because they are not overwhelming to you. The Hunt raised thousands of dollars in September for Dystonia!  My favorite part of this years Hunt was knowing I work for an owner that truly loves his team. I mean...I think this picture speaks for itself. He has the best heart, ever!  The Indy Dystonia Scavenger Hunt 2018 is officially in the books!  My heart wants so badly to reach the world in helping the little ones find a cure. The Hunt made the news and now the new saying is "It's A OK!" I ...

The Grass Withers & The Flowers Fall...

"All I need today is a little bit of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus." Life has kept me on my toes lately!  That is for SURE.  I am exhausted. Fully worn out. Drained.  The Second Annual Indy Hunt is literally just 16 DAYS away!  My heart is so full of heartbreak, happiness, and fully blessed. Heartbreak for the families that have a child with Dystonia. Heartbreak for the many teenagers that have Dystonia. The many adults that have Dystonia. I know what it is like to hear that HARD diagnoses. I am praying that this Hunt will help other families. To help them know that they're not alone in this journey.  It is so heartwarming to see all of the support that I really do have.  Meet Mike and Kara. I am so thankful for their friendship and support. This Hunt brings back memories. Memories of all the doctors, all the medical tests, and lately myself sitting in the Neurosurgeon's office.  IF there is one thing I want t...

My morning with Jesus...after another medication fail...

"I will not cause pain without allowing something new to born." Isaiah 66:9 These past few weeks have been a roller coaster ride for me.  Going twenty five years without a medical answer or a clear diagnose has been the hardest thing in my life. The unknown has taken me to places I would've never imaged.  I wanted answers, and while everyone kept telling me to "Let it go" I just knew that I had to find answers.  See, when Jesus lays something on my heart he just doesn't stop until I follow.   I am NINE weeks away from hosting the second annual Hunt for Dystonia in the state of IN.  My heart is even more overwhelmed than last year!  Dealing with a genetic diagnoses hasn't set in just yet to me.  It seems so unreal. Knowing that three families in the state were able to get this testing free as well because of my journey is so heartwarming.  We now know my Dystonia is genetic.  This was literally the SAME face I...

That sweet reminder you've needed this week!

"The Lord is not through with you yet. You still have an open door here. And until the Lord moves you. You're to bloom right where you're planted." This past week my dystonia was such a blessing in disguise. The week started out with dinner with these crazies.  Monday was rough for me. However, my co-workers made it all so much brighter!  We introduced Nic, Farrell, and John to Pizza King!  Love you guys so much.  Tuesday was a BLAST but so busy!  Cow Appreciation Day.    Kenzee helped me on so many levels that day!  I am so thankful when my dystonia is kinda rough that others understand.  That I got to relax. Make some kids bags.  Kenzee to the save for the day!  Love you!  Wednesday-Thursday was great! Busy but good. Hello rough Friday.  Friday evening was hard.  I am so thankful for such a wonderful place to work.  Such a unquie company full of love and compa...

"Team work makes the dream work!"

"Look for a way to lift someone UP. And if that's all you do, that's enough!" My co-worker's are perfect examples of doing just that."  The last couple weeks on my days off I have spent in Indy trying to get blood drawn. Taking a step back and watching the Lord work through my health struggles hasn't always been easy.  In fact it has been a up and down hill battle. My heart gets so heavy for all the people in our world who have any kind of health battle.  "One day the Lord is going to use you Chelsi." During my teen years I think I thought this was all junk.  Thinking what could the Lord possibly use this for? Insert rolling eye emoji  I think the Lord allows us to face battles to look around and understand how loved we are through them. I'll admit my mindset for the last two weeks has been "Jesus, how can I love me if I look so different?" I get teary eyed every time I think back to how unworthy I real...

"PRAYER The most powerful weapon against trials.  The most effective medicine against sickness.  and the most valuable gift to someone you love." The Lord just keeps teaching me to have patience but while I am busy learning patience he has been busy working on my heart this week. Life is so beautiful even in the mist of our trials. "No matter what I'm going to love you!" -Jesus- Everyone loves Chick-fil-a but here is why I love Chick-fil-a of Muncie. 1.The love in the building is endless 2.The laughter is always present even on the tough days  3. Jesus is always the center of our restaurant even in the mist of our trials  4. The people who work there love serving Jesus  There is joy in making a milkshake!  Sure, everyone loves the fresh lemonade. And the fresh flowers but I love the people there the most.  When I came to Chick-fil-a I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be able to be much of anything. I...
