Open Doors
It is amazing how by just taking a step of faith doors open for God's opportunities. I know God
has brought us through so much but through making
bad choices sometimes why did he choose us?
I keep thinking of David of the Old Testament.
A man after God's heart. He made some bad choices
but kept chasing God. God in all of His perfection
forgave David but had consequences for his choices.
Just talking with people and watching them
everyone handles life challenges differently. Some
don't have a relationship with God and some do. It
is amazing how differently it is handled between the
groups.
My challenges have been handled with peace
on some occasions and with panic with others. God
is always there but we move from closeness to distance by our choices but either He brings us through.
So just keep praying, keep close friends, and
when He asks just walk out on faith and one step.
He will handle the rest.
Look for the rainbow,

Living Life to the BEST of it's ABILITY!
Do you ever wonder why you have to go through life with so many trials and storms of life? I know I do all the time. I have learned that it takes a whole lot of patience and perseverance to face the adversity in this life God has given me. I wouldn't change it for nothing though because I have learned through the years that I have become a stronger woman because of it. The unconditional love that these precious children give to us is so sweet and pure. There are so many times that we dont understand why a certain thing happens and sometimes we get side tracked with all the things that we are faced with each day but it all boils down to God and how He knew we could take care of something so precious and fragile that was given to us and knowing that WE as PARENTS would do the right thing in taking care for them. As I try each day to look at the positive in each day, I choose to find JOY in the midst of it. That is why I titled this blog "living life to the best of its ability". No matter where life takes you, stand up for what you believe in and do it for your children! There are so many people in this world that can be so negative. I have heard time and time again of what my children cant do. You would think that people would have a heart of understanding your circumstance and what you deal with on a daily basis but that is just not it in most cases. So with all of that being said, My family chooses to live life to the fullest because we never know what may happen the very next minute. My sweet Brandon has life threatening seizures that last anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours..... He has been put on life support and flown all over to different hospitals. He had a stoke during one of the 8 hour seizures that left him paralized on his right side because the left part of the brain was not functioning at all. He has movement from then on but cant control his right side. That's just one thing that we deal with on a daily basis. I hope that this can be some encouragement for you to keep pressing on. No matter how bad you think you may have it and no matter what you are up against. Just know that we are here to help and support you and be there for you. If you need prayer, we will pray. If you need a shoulder to cry on, we will cry with you. Life is hard and there are so many bumps in the road that you will cross and we as a support group want to help. May you each have a wonderful evening. Please feel free to call on us at anytime. We are here for you.
God Bless,

Learning Day by Day
Today was a learning day. Ever have a project due that was important for a special event and your computer was invaded by the computer fairy and it never worked. We conquered it today.
So many days are learning days. My daughter Tiffany has Williams Syndrome. A genetic disorder of chromosome number 7. A half of chromosome is missing. It doesn't sound like much but it is. Health issues and learning disabilities.
It is so hard to see her have seizures but technically they are not because they showed on the wrong line. She is a trooper to endure so much. More are happening but we just watch her.
My co-founder Tonya saw one and agreed that is was what it looked like. It was good to have someone agree.
That is what this support group is about. Not feeling alone.
That what you are living with is more than superficial living.
For so many years my husband, parents, family and friends
have seen many different health problems. Seen by the best doctors. Some have worked and understood others not so much but still felt alone.
Go out in public and not much understanding. That is what this group is for. Much understanding. If you have a question
we will try to help. Will search for the answer.
God has brought us through so much. That is where this idea came from a whisper from God.
Please come and join. So excited. Looking forward to see what God is going to do.
We meet the last Thursday of every month at Launch Point Church at 6:30 p.m. 301 Highway 72 West Tuscumbia, AL.
This month the date is January 31,2013. For questions Please contact our email at acceptnoboundaries@gmail.com.

Day by Day!
As I begin to write and share about our Support Group, It brings joy to my heart in knowing that friendships will be made and we can all learn together what is it is like on a day to day basis with your special needs child or as I like to call them- special blessings. As we start a new year, I want to encourage everyone that we will have some speakers come in and speak on topics that you have concerns about. It is important that you come to the meetings if you would like to be involved. We would love to have as many parents as we can to come and be encouraged. If you have any questions please contact Theresa McGuyer at 256-443-9607 or Tonya Aycock at 256-394-0040. We will have pictures and more blogs to follow in the upcoming months.
Our NEXT meeting is January 31, 2013 @ 6:30
Thank You,
Have a Blessed Evening,
Accept NO Boundaries
