Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

It's almost September 1st, which means that tomorrow it will be the first day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month. Hydrocephalus Awareness Month Matters. A lot of people don't know what Hydrocephalus is, and it's our job to help those people understand and learn what thousands of people like me are living with everyday. Hydrocephalus doesn't have a cure. The only that helps people living with Hydrocephalus is a shunt. I was born with it, just like those thousands of people who were born with it. I also have a learning disability, but most people don't know it. There are a lot of people that have no idea what I have been through, and I am hoping that this video that I post, will help people understand, and learn more about me and what I had to go through when I was little, and growing up. This is a video I made for senior project for my school. I decided to make a video documentary with my siblings. So that people would understand, not only what I had to go through but so others like me, would know they were not alone. It's also very hard for me to make friends.

My thoughts about God and the book War Room

I finally finished reading the book War Room Prayer Is A Powerful Weapon and it was worth the wait to finish it, because it was such an amazing book that I can't wait to go and see the movie. I think I am going to like the movie a lot, just I did the book. We need to have great Christian Films like War Room and we need to have great Christian books that are based on a Christian Film. I wasn't disappointed with the book and I don't think that I will be disappointed with the movie either. I answered silently in my head to the questions in the back of the book and I still think the quote from the book, before you start to read it, is something we should all remember. Which is from Billy Graham, and the quote is this: To Get Nations Back On Their Feet, We Must First Get Down On Our Knees. I also think we should continue to pray to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because he will listen to us and answer our prayers. He listens to us and he hears us. He will never leave us or let us down. He helps those who need it the most and he helps us when we need help. He loves and cares for us always. He protects us, watches over us, and keeps us safe. He is merciful and almighty. He forgives us and those who have made mistakes. Our God is compassionate and kind. He is good.

When I got a shout out from Matthew West

So a very cool thing happened to me today. Which was I was listening to a live Facebook Feed that Matthew West was doing, and I was asking him to sing one of my favorite songs by him called the Motions, but then I decided since he didn't see that, I decided to ask him what inspired him to write the motions and he answered me back by saying my name in the Live Facebook Feed that he did from an airplane. To me that is pretty cool because I have never had someone give me a shout out, like that. Every time I watch the video that is over now, I replay it and to me it makes me smile because I got a shout out from one of my favorite Christian Artists Matthew West. I am going to remember this for a long time and enjoy it because it made me happy.

A Dedication Post To My Aunt Irene

So yesterday, I found out my aunt Irene passed away at the St. Vincent Toledo Hospital. I know that she is in Heaven and I will see her again someday, but she was very special to me and I will miss her. I can remember going to her house and putting on puppet shows for her, and how she loved seeing me do it. I can remember she would give me some water, and a little snack. She was funny, kind, nice, sweet, special, loving, friendly, and caring. She smiled when you saw her, and that's one of the things I will remember about her. She was in a nursing home in Willard Ohio, and I went to visit her once and awhile. When I did go to visit her, she was happy to see me, and she told me I looked pretty, and I told her thank you. Then she would tell me the same thing, and I would say it again, but I didn't mind. Whenever I saw her there with a smile on my face, she would say, here comes smiley.'' ''I told her, I loved her and she told me the same thing. When she was in her room, she would let me sing, and she always enjoyed that, and wanted me to sing more. So I would, and she told me that I had a nice voice and I told her thank you. She always invited me to eat lunch or supper with her, but I always politely declined and told her I would eat when I got home. I can remember when one of the people that ate with her, asked if I was my aunt Irene's daughter, and then my aunt Irene would ask me if I was her daughter and I told her no. You could always have a nice or funny conversation with her, and that's another thing I will remember about her. My aunt Irene was special to all who knew her and she will be missed very much, but we'll see her again someday in Heaven. I know that she is in Heaven now without any pain or suffering. I wish I could have said goodbye to her one last time, but I don't think I would have been able to since she was in the ICU in Toledo. I'm writing this post today as sort of a dedication to my aunt Irene who I truly loved and I will miss very, very much. She was kind, caring, compassionate, loving, awesome, pretty, funny, nice, friendly, and  a very sweet person to everyone who knew her and to me. She has been a very great aunt to me and I know she is in Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, without anymore hurt, suffering, or anymore pain. She can now be in Heaven and be reunited with her sisters, brother, and she can be with her husband.

My thoughts on a book, on prayer, and on what God has done for us

I am reading a book called War Room Prayer Is A Powerful Weapon and it's based on the movie that just came out today in theaters. I can't explain what the book is like, but I can tell you that it is a truly amazing book that is worth reading. It's such a good book that you won't want to put it down. I decided that I won't see the movie until I finish the book. Then when I see the movie I will compare it to the book. I am definitely not disappointed with the book at all, and I don't think that I will be disappointed with the movie either. I wish I could tell you about what I have read so far, but then that would be giving it away, so I won't. I'm so glad that there is a new Christian film out, and I'm so glad to be reading an amazing Christian book. I have to agree with part of the book title because Prayer Is A Powerful Weapon. Prayer is an amazing thing that we should always do. We should pray for those who need Christ, those who are in the hospital, those who have lost a loved one or their home, those who are traveling, or traveling home, or maybe even just to pray for those who are struggling. Either way we should pray to God when we can't talk to anyone else about what we maybe going through. God will listen to our prayers and he hears us when we pray to him. God is truly amazing, he is powerful and almighty. He loves all of us as his children and because he loves us he will never leave us. He is with us always. You see God forgives us for the mistakes we have made and he forgives those who have made mistakes. God died on the cross for our sins, so that we could have eternal life. If we have a problem or something that we can not handle on our own, we need to let God take care of it. It's amazing what God can do in our lives and the book has inspired me in so many ways. There is a song called Pray by Sanctus Real and one of the very first lines in that song is: I bow my head to pray I don't know what to say, I'm not sure how to fix the things I'm dealing with. I'm in a desperate place, I need to share the weight, but I just don't know how to let it all pour out. That first part right there tells me that we should continue to pray to God because he will help us with whatever struggle we are going through. We need God in our lives and other people do too, so I think it is very important that we tell others about Him and His Word, and we should tell others about Prayer and how Prayer can be important too. I think praying is important because we can pray to God and tell him what we are thankful for, we can tell him about we are going through, and we can pray for others who need help the most. We can pray for a lot of things, but most importantly we can pray to God.

Open Heart Review

The teen nick show Open Heart that airs every Tuesday at nine, is an awesome show for anyone who likes mysteries. The main character Dylan Blake is such an amazing character in the show, she's pretty, cool, unique, and special in her own way. All of the Blake family is, and even though most of them have their secrets that they are hiding from Dylan, in the end they all love and care about each other. Last week's episode of Open Heart was really crazy, because Dylan's old friends came back into Dylan's life, only to cause a lot of trouble. I think that Dylan and Wes make a great couple, but what Teddy did to Wes towards the end of the episode was not cool. I hope that Wes isn't too badly hurt and that he'll be okay so that Dylan and him can continue dating. I also am hoping that Dylan's old friends don't re enter her life again. I feel that Dylan in the show is getting closer to finding her dad, because even though the detective and police closed the case, she never gave up, because she told Wes once that she doesn't bail on the people she cares about, and that she wasn't bailing on her dad. I think Jared and Mikayla are also a great couple and I hope they can continue dating as well. Now, let's talk about Veronica, she's the kind of character in the show that is mysterious, you don't know when she'll appear, or where you'll see her. In one of the episodes we saw her on the hospital security tape talking to Dylan's dad and then walking away from him. It was obviously clear in that part of the episode he was upset because maybe Veronica and him were dating at one point and she broke up with him. So before he left that day, he gave the watch to doctor Hudson, and then maybe ran out the door to ask Veronica for forgiveness. Then in another episode we see her in the Open Heart Memorial Hospital, because she doesn't feel good, so at the point she is talking to London about London's dad, maybe she was already holding Dylan's dad hostage in the metal factory lofts. Then when London tried to tell her nothing was wrong with her, she had already left, and Veronica went back to where Dylan's dad was. Then we see her in last week's episode where she shows up as a nurse, to me it's kind of weird, but maybe she told Dylan's dad that she was going to pretend to be a nurse, locked Dylan's dad in the metal factory lofts, but before she did that, maybe she made Dylan's dad give her his prescription bottle, and maybe she placed it in the loft, and maybe since she maybe holding Dylan's dad hostage, she tied Dylan's dad up. Also it could be possible that before she went to work at the hospital she made a phone call to Dylan's old friends, and told them to hurt Wes, because maybe just maybe after she left the note that told Dylan to watch her back, maybe that note meant something like, if you discover that I'm holding your dad hostage in the lofts then your friend will pay for you trying to find out what happened to your dad, so if you don't want your dad to be hurt, or your friend to be hurt, then you better watch your back. Let's talk about London Blake, she's Dylan's older sister and in last week's episode when she was staring in the window at the hospital and saw herself from when she was younger crying, and who knows maybe she's had whatever her dad still might have, all her life, we won't know until Tuesday at nine. I also think London and Seth make a perfect couple and that they are great for one and other. Let's talk about Doctor Hudson, he's a great person, he's nice, but he should probably date people that are his age. Dylan's grandparents their nice, and they own the hospital Dylan volunteers at and I think they know more about Veronica and Dylan's dad disappearance. Now onto Dylan's mom she is kind and nice, but she may know some things about her husband's disappearance, but in Tuesday's promo episode she even told her own daughter that they are all liars, but she just thought they were all lying about the same thing. Who knows what will happen in Tuesday's episode of Open Heart, but all we can do is wait and guess to figure out what might happen before the episode airs. Open Heart is a great mystery show for any teen or young adult to watch, I haven't been disappointed with the show, ever since I gave it a try and I wasn't so sure at first if I was going to watch it, but then I started to like it after watching episode after episode, and now I am excited to find out what happens on Tuesday. Open Heart is like a book, where if you are reading a book that you really like, and don't want to stop reading that book, well the teen nick show Open Heart is kind of like that, where in this case it's the kind of show you don't want to stop watching, because its that good. If you like mysteries then this show is for you, but if you don't then that's okay to. You can decide if you want to watch it or not, that's your choice, but if you do then start from the beginning, and if you don't then don't worry about it, just stick with watching the shows you like, instead. I like the show because I like to try and solve the mystery, like any detective would try to do on any case, until it was solved. So this is what I think of the new show Open Heart on teen nick, and I hope some people will give it a chance as well.

Words of Encouragement and Scriptures

Revelation 21:5 says: He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.” We should share our faith with others and tell them what faith means because maybe someone doesn't know what it's like to have faith. I also know it is important to share God's word with others, and to tell others about him so that they will want to have a relationship with him and so that they will want to learn more about him. Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray that you will be with those who don't know you, help them so that they can know you. I pray that you will be with those who might not have faith, and I pray that you will help them as well. I pray that you will forgive those who have made mistakes, and I pray that you will be with those who don't have a place to live. Amen. 2 Timothy 4:1-2 says: I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom: proclaim the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching. Proverbs 11:28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. Psalm 139:13-14, 16 says: For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them. Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray that you will heal those who are sick in the hospital and give them the strength to feel better. I pray that you will be with those who need you most. I pray that you will be with those who have lost a loved one, and give them comfort. Amen................. 2 Peter 3:9 says: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:5 says: Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.” God is almighty, God is caring. God is loving. God is honest. God is forgiving. God will protect and watch over us. God helps us and he helps those in need. He listens to our prayers. Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray that you will help those who are sick in the hospital and give them strength to feel better. I pray that you will give comfort to those who need it. I pray that we will be able to tell others about you and your word. I pray that you will help those who don't know you, so that they will want to learn more about you and your word, and have a relationship with you. I pray that you will give us the courage to tell others about what faith means, so that they will want to learn more about faith and what it means to have faith. I pray that you will watch over those who are traveling, and protect them and keep them safe. I pray that you will give comfort to those who have lost a loved one. Amen....... 
1 Timothy 2:1-2 says: I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. Revelation 4:11 says: You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
