- About Me
- I'm Donna and I live currently in the beautiful state of maine. I'm 44 yrs old. I was born w/spina bifida and have been wheelchair bound all my life. My wonderful parents who gave me the gift of life live now in there retirement years in sunny florida, and it is to them that I attribute my independent spirit, and so many other things that have made me who I am today. I'd rather not take too much space talkin about my disability and such, but I do invite any questions anyone might have. I was taught to be very open about it, and I have learned over the years that actually my handicap has been a blessing in many ways. Ive been told that w/out knowing it I have touched many hearts, but I say its cos of Christ and his power in me that has touched those hearts. I like to read, of course do stuff on the computer, write, and try my hand at crafts, my fave being stamping and embossing ... ie, making my own cards. My next endeavor someday will be to try embossing on different materials. I like to crochet, and do ceramics. I am engaged to a wonderful man and we have been together for almost a year now. In the near future we will be moving to New Hampshire. He has 3 beautiful daughters, all of which are great kids each in there own right and unique way. Keith and I met online, neither one of us really expecting that this would turn to anything more then just a friendship, but God had other ideas and he has been a joy and a blessing to have in my life. At some point on a blog I will write our testimony and how our relationship started and blossomed in the last year. If you all want to know more please msg me or leave a msg. Love and blessings.

- I came to the Lord when I was 15 yrs old. I was just entering High School at the time which proved to be a perfect time to have the Lord w/me. As we all can attest to our teen yrs are one of the most challenging times in our lives, and for me it was no different. Not only did I deal w/the same teen age issues as others I was also the only disabled kid in the school, and that brought w/it its own unique challenges. I never felt like I quite fit in, and frequent abscenses because of my condition were hard to deal w/ because I was always tryin to just keep up. At the same time I was teased for being a christian but as much as I wanted to fit in I didnt care. God had always been a huge part of my life from as far back as I can remember and tho I was raised Catholic and wasnt really taught about a personal relationship w/Christ, my mother always taught me He was my best friend. Later in years I began to study the word of God more intensely and started to see some differences in what I was taught then as a Catholic verses what I was learning from Protestant counterparts, such as the 700 club. I dug deeper, and eventually came to the conclusion w/alot of prayer and seeking God on the matter that the Baptist Church was where I was supposed to be. I attended the Catholic church across the street from the little Baptist church. I knew the Pastor who preached there, and we had many conversations over coffee at a local restaurant, he had befriended me, but never pushed, he wanted me to obey my parents and not be the cause of a riff. I decided to go to his church and started w/ the youth group there. Over time I started going on sunday mornings while still attending the catholic church on saturdays. One night my father came to me and said ... " if you want to be a member of that church, you need to make that decision, because you are riding the fence, and you cant do that. "If you are waiting for our blessings, well I dont know about your mother, but as for me, you have it. Thats all it took and I was at the Little Baptist Church for good. And I never looked back. Over the years however, Ive dug deeper into my Catholic roots. I have come to realize that some of what I thought I didnt believe, I acutually just misunderstood. Some of the Catholic beliefs however, I still cant line up w/scriptures, but at least now I understand more of at least why they believe what they do. There really isnt that much difference between us as protestants and catholics as one might think, but yet on some doctrinal issues we do vary. Catholics have come a long way, and now many churches are preaching that one must be saved in Jesus alone. My dear mother was really at odds w/when I left the church, feeling I guess that she failed me and for reasons that are too long to explain here, that the church had failed me as well. But I told her one day, "you didnt fail me mom, way back when I was a little girl you taught me how to pray, and you showed me that Jesus was indeed real, and not just some nice man in a story book." I wanted her to realize that tho it was important to learn all the official prayers of the church it was more important for me to learn about him and to speak to him in a personal way. Afterall isnt that what being a christian is all about? Like everyone else in the world, my faith has gone to the lowest valleys and peaked to the highest mountain tops. Its a daily decision to follow I've learned, and sometimes when you are in the midst of sorrow or pain, or some fiery trial its a challenge at best to believe in someone you cant see. But at the end of the day, he always comes thru, never taking us out of the challenges that life throws at us, at least not always, but he will prove himself by always walking w/us thru them. Yes I believe that Jesus can heal, will heal, will help us, but he doesnt always answer the way we would like, or the way we think he should or might. He's just there w/us and working things out for our good if we only let go and let God have his way.

- I believe...
- That God doesnt always take us out of situations, but he will bring us thru them, and that no matter how bad things might get or be, we have His promise that he has overcome, therefore we dont need to be fearful or overwhelmed.

Another new day
Its another new day that God has granted me and I of all people should be grateful for it. But experiencing another disappointment sometimes makes me wish I could get off this merry - go - round of life. I'm not goin to let myself think that way though, even though I feel that way. I have choices to make, either I can let this new set back get me down and ruin my out look on things or I can choose to ride the wave as it is right now, and realize that God has a plan in all this and trust that his… Continue

Its Sunday!
Its the day of our Lord a time when we all come together and worship the King of Kings, and I overslept! I am really struggling w/this sleeping thing for some reason. Its as tho I could sleep around the clock. I think I know why but I'm not sure yet. I will soon find out though in time. I must've really needed the rest though, and I will admit to feeling alot more rested now. To be sure though I will be up all night yet again. Even if I hadnt slept in so late I still might be up late anyway wher… Continue

Ending of a week
Well its the end of the week at least for us. Sunday through thursdays are hectic and busy for us both. My sweet man works nights right now while I take care of the home front here. Its hard work for him and I worry for him alot while hes away. I know worry isnt good and it wont add another day to my life as Jesus said, but I do anyway. Its a dail commitment to pray and give it to Him so that I wont make myself half nuts wondering if hes ok. I'm just a natural born worrier I guess, but its a hab… Continue

A tough 3 yrs
I havent blogged or kept a diary in so very long, and I dont know that I would know where to begin. And even where the title states, the last 3yrs so much has happened in just that short time. Funny that I would call it short, as the time seemed to be enormously long w/being laid up for most of that time w/ a wound that wouldnt heal. Now I am back to my normal self and back on my feet so to speak. I struggled w/wanting my life back..whatever that meant prior to my being put in that position to b… Continue
