Her Life Rolls On

Wanting to Get Back In Touch with My Faith

My faith has not been very strong for quite a while, but I have been wanting to get back in touch with it lately. I am a little nervous to start believing again. but my faith has meant a lot to me in the past. It is starting to mean a lot to me again, and I am really intrigued to see where it takes me!

Being a Christian has shown me a lot about myself and about who I can become. I will always be grateful for everything that God has given me. God has shown me a lot within the past few months by giving me a job and allowing me to work for the first time in my life. I have never really believed that I could actually work because there are so many stereotypes that I have to deal with while having a disability. I believe that God is wanting me to start believing in myself and that He wants to help me learn how to believe in myself again.

One of the special things about where I work is that they have a Bible study for staff once per week during lunch. I know that God put me where I am working for a reason. I hope He has a much bigger purpose for me there because I am starting to learn so much, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity that I am having, especially with the people who I am working with.

Faith is such a powerful word, and I am blessed to be a Christian. I am starting to view working in a positive way, and I can’t wait to see where my working life takes me. God really knows what people need when they need it, and I know that God is starting to change me right now. It is so exciting to see myself change and to have hope for the future.

Christianity has been impacting my life very much lately, and it has impacted me in such a great way. God has helped me believe in myself before, and He is definitely shaping me and helping me learn to trust in myself now. I am very excited to start showing my faith again!

My faith will change me, and I am very excited to see where it takes me!

I Am A Working Girl Now! (Major Life Update)

A lot has happened lately, and many things are coming to fruition in my life that I am so happy about. Change can be difficult for me, but this change is exciting and will give me a different perspective on life because my life is becoming more adult!

Looking for a job can be difficult for anyone, but it is a completely different kind of difficult when someone has a disability like me. Disabilities can make many things a whole lot harder because many able-bodied people don’t realize what people with disabilities can do. They also really don’t want to give people with disabilities a chance to prove them wrong, and it’s very upsetting that this is the case. Disabled people can do a lot of positive things in this world, and they can make a difference in whatever they do!

The Department of Rehabilitation supports people with disabilities to search for and find jobs, and that is where I started getting help from in September 2023. Finding a job has been really difficult not only because I have a physical disability, but also because I have never worked. I am very grateful for the Department of Rehabilitation because they have many ways that they can help someone like me.

Since the beginning of this year, I have been in a program called Adult Work Experience (AWE). This program has given me so much motivation to start working, and it will help me find a perfect job that is suitable for my life right now. AWE provides me with the chance to work at one location for 100 hours and get paid for what I do there. It will be considered as an internship through the program. I can be an intern at up to three different locations. After my internship is over at a specific location, the director there will have the choice to hire me on as an employee.

Last month, I received really exciting news that I would be getting my very first internship as an employee of AWE. My internship is at an addiction treatment center in my hometown. I started my internship on Tuesday, July 16, 2024. I am so excited for this experience that I have been given, and I am so grateful that my first internship is where it is!

I have personal experience with addiction. I think this internship will encourage me to find out what I really want to do with my life! This opportunity will help me be a better version of myself, and it will be such a worthwhile experience! I hope this internship works out in my favor because it is at a place that hits close to home with me, and I already know that it will change my life forever!

Having this internship as my first ever job is really special because it gives me a feeling of hope and gratitude that I have never had before. This opportunity has already given me a chance to get back into my faith, and I am so grateful for that! I do not know where this internship will take me, but I know that God has given me a path to follow in His steps and to change my life forever!

I took this picture after my first day of work. I wore a black dress and short heels on my first day.
I am so happy with where I am working, and I hope this picture shows how happy I am!

It Is Time for Positivity in the New Year!

New years are always so exciting because people have new resolutions every year. Resolutions are fun to have and make because they can have such an impact on a person’s life. It is always motivating when new years come around because people are always looking forward to bettering themselves. Motivation can come from a lot of places, but when someone can change their own life, it can make a huge difference in many ways!

New years bring in a lot of positivity for a lot of people. For me, they have always brought in a lot of positivity and hope. That is what this new year brings me. 2024 has a lot of potential for me, and I believe that it will become a great year. I believe looking at things from the glass half full is the way to go because I have never been a person to view things negatively. This new year is motivating me in a lot of different ways!

I hope that the new year brings much joy because all people deserve happiness and joy. Happiness and joy are what make the world have positivity, and they are special to each and every person!

Happy New Year! #ItIsTimeFor2024
