Quit...Do Something with your life.

 Someone sent this to me in an email.. 

1. Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness! Respect their position and keep it moving!
2. Quit telling people your secrets when you know they are not going to keep them! And if you keep telling them, then quit getting mad when they tell your secrets!
3. Quit trying to pull people on your journey who don't want to travel with you. Either they believe in you and value you...or they don't!
4. Quit complaining about things you can't and won't change!
5. Quit gossiping about other people! Minding our own business should be a full time job!
6. Quit blaming each other for things that in the big picture aren't going to matter three weeks from now! Talk solutions...and then implement them!
7. Quit eating things you know are not good for you! If you can't quit..eat smaller portions!
8. Quit buying things when you know you can't afford them! If you don't have self control, then quit going to the stores! Quit charging things, especially when you don't NEED them!
9. Quit staying in unhealthy relationships! It is not okay for people to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself! It is not okay to stay in the marriage for your chiildren! Ask them and they will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting them!
10. Quit letting family members rope you into the drama! Start telling them you don't want to hear it! Quit spreading the drama! Quit calling other relatives and telling them about your cousin or aunt! Go back to #5 minding your own business should be enough to keep your busy!
11. Quit trying to change people! IT DOESN'T WORK! Quit cussing people out when you know that they are just being the miserable and jealous people that they are!
12. Quit the job you hate! Start pursuing your passion. Find the job that fuels your passion BEFORE your quit!
13. Quit volunteering for things that you aren't getting any personal fulfillment from anymore! Quit volunteering for things and then failing to follow through with your commitment!
14. Quit listening to the naysayers! Quit watching the depressing news if you are going to live in the doom and gloom of it all!
15. Quit making excuses about why you are where you are or why you can't do what you want to do!
16. Quit waiting on others to give you the answers...and start finding the answers for yourself! If what you are doing isn't working for your...then quit it!
17. Quit settling and start marking your dreams a reality! Quit being afraid and START LIVING YOUR LIFE! CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! If you want something different than what you have had in the past...you must quit doing what you have done before and DO something different! JUST QUIT IT....and START DOING something to create the experience you want!

Hello friends, 

It's been a few months since I last wrote. So much has happened but for now. I am going to talk about an encounter I had last week. It was a reminder that God is still working things out even when I don't see Him. 

As you all know from this post I have an ileostomy. Anyway, along this journey so far I have prayed and ask God for a friend who also has an ileostomy or a colostomy. Well, God has answered that prayers in such an unique way. 

My current job is ending soon because our company is closing. As a result there are a lot of things that need to happen in order to close out our files/patients. A lot of changes have happened in the few weeks since getting notified of the closure. They have me working with a young lady I will call Alli. I just met Alli a few weeks ago because they wanted me to learn her tasks as she was blessed with a new job and will be leaving us soon. She has such an awesome spirit and personality. I have really enjoyed working with her and I am sad that our time together is rapidly coming to an end. 

Friday of this past week, we were talking at work about the process of moving, packing and unpacking. I mentioned that this move was a challenge because I was not physically able to do as much as before and it was a lot of work to get my medical team and treatments set up. Alli asked me if it didn't bother me to share but what treatment was I taking/getting... see below for our conversation via chat while at work...I will omit part of the conversation but you will get the gist of it.

Me: I don't mind at all I am getting remicade infusions.

Alli: Is yours for Crohns?

Me: Yeah, I have a rare form of Crohns

Alli: If you don't mind me asking do you have a ostomy bay?

Me: Yes I do.

Alli: shut upppppp ME TOO 

We then proceeded to share part of our stories and have a mini praise God session. Have you ever had an encounter where you knew it was nothing God? That was this for me. If it had not been for this job closure, I would have never crossed paths with Alli. 

I am a believer in that nothing is coincidental. Everything happens for a reason and at the right time. We both have a lot going on in life. I am not sure how this friendship will grow or where it will go. But the one thing I do know, is that God put us on a journey together for the foreseeable future. Alli, is an answer to my prayer and it came in such an unexpected way. I am all here for it. I love how God works. It's always best. Although I will huff, puff and fight in the waiting process---it's always worth it.  And I am excited for it. For those of you who are praying folks, please keep my new friend Alli in your prayers. Thanks!

Till next time,
Simply That
