Home Sweet Home



I feel so blessed to have landed at a school that I truly love. College isn't for anyone, but finding a town that I can call home- where locals already know you & your involvement is appreciated is amazing. A chance to test out how strong my independence really is. Working two part times jobs at the daycare, & nursing home I'm learning new skills that will help me through out life. I'm happy to call Farmington my home  Cheers to the next four years!

Learning to CLING

At first I gave my life to God during a time of deep grief.  I needed a reason to believe there was something bigger and stronger than the pain I was feeling. As time went on I continued in my "faith."  When times were good I praised Him. In times of pain I questioned him, yet I never truly felt the same as the night I first surrendered to Him. It seemed through the ups and downs I began to slowly drift away. It wasn't util I stepped out of my comfort zone and saw how others all around the world were worshipping the same God that I began to question my faith.  My seemingly solid faith. It seemed their priorities were every different than mine. When I struggled to go to church once a week, they managed to go every night. When we were called to open our bibles, I flipped to the table of contents while others were already finished reciting the verse.  Their commitment was far greater than mine.  Their willingness to surrender came with willing hearts.

Finding my Faith

“Follow your heart”, “Just do what you think is right” are two common themes young millennials pass around today.  How many Christians do you know who show up to church on Sunday’s, after a week full of slandering words, deceitful lies or nights of partying?  Our relationship with Christ becomes merely a check off box, an act of going with the motions.   As inviting as the “Follow your heart message” is it can be devastating to our spiritual lives. Our salvation comes from our faith, not our feelings (Ephesians 2:8).  Feelings & emotions are inconsistent, continuously changing due to the tides of circumstances around us.  Before we even realize it we become victims to our own thoughts which often lead us to making ungodly, unwise, self-centered decisions.  Instead of dying to self, and surrendering daily we spend our time trying to desperately control our failings, fighting for the next fleeting pleasure. Maybe we do set a day, cup of coffee in...

Accommodations for a Psychiatric Disability Within Employment

(http://nodifferentthanyou.blogspot.com/2013/08/stigma-defintiion.html)  What are some employment needs for an individual with a psychiatric disability? Many individuals live successful lives with psychiatric or physical disabilities.  In fact, thanks to Title 1 of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, individuals are protected from being discriminated against while applying for jobs during hiring, firing, compensation as well as job training (Employment, Title I, 2015).  In essence under the law there is no reason as to why individuals with disabilities can not be a successful employee.  There are many ways in which an employer can help to accommodate an individual with a psychiatric disability.  Many of these accommodations include a flexible schedule, modifying training material or equipment, or an extra supportive person to help as an accountability partner (Enforcement Guidance, 2002). A simple, yet crucial tool is to continue communication...
