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 the world to know is this:
It isn't the outside of a person that really truly matters. It is the inside.

Sunday.
We as a team volunteered. 
I love everything about volunteering! 
I am SO thankful to announce our Muncie Chick-Fil-A now has a Volunteer team.
It is amazing to see and know that in a small way we can give back to our community.
Sometimes...Just by loving others.
The way Jesus loves us. 

Fast forward to this week. 
Where I started speech therapy back up.
Communication is just not my strong suit in life. 
It is just a small part of Dystonia that I don't like but what are you going to do?
"Stand in the Lava?"
Yeah...no. 
Do the very best you can through it.
This week has been HARD. 

Tuesday. 
Tuesday I got to unexpectedly visit a shelter taking food there for lunch. 
My heart was yet so broken but so full.
Broken for the fact I couldn't give them a home like they all need. 
Full to know that in a very small way I did get to help. 

Tonight. 
Has been really hard. 
Anything I could mess up...I probably did just that.
We all have those days! 
I know...
I came home tonight from a very long day at work.
I saw this picture and knew that Jesus has me in his arms.
When no one else understands HE does.
I am so thankful for Pastor Josh and Patti.
Abi says last night at church to me with the biggest smile 
"Chelsi!!!! Hey Chelsi!!!" 
It really is the little things in life that make living so worth it! 
Proof. You do not know whose day you will make and when...
I love them so much because they love me so much.
They love Jesus. 
And I love Jesus.

This week has been FULL of Jesus's love and grace all around me. 
My night ended with a hug from our marketing director and sometimes that is just what we need in life is a simple hug. 
Please pray that this Hunt will be full of others loving on one another. 
That Jesus would settle my heart for now down.
That he would help me get things done even when it's hard.
Let me tell you last week I tried writing a card and my Dystonia was just not having it. 
Thankful that Jesus kept pushing me....to be all that I can be!
If you think of it pray for the homeless as I got to meet a child while at the shelter. 
Pray that the Lord would use me in big ways more and more.

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."

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...

"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 ...
