So grateful for ALL

Every time I am on Twitter-I am able to smile from ear to ear knowing...God has placed so many amazing souls into my life that I am so ever grateful for. Both near and far. Some I have met...or am still to meet...some I may not meet here on Earth. But I sure will in Heaven. Until then, we get to enjoy our talks and prayers, discussions--thanking God that Twitter and Networking was created!!!
For all that were there in prayer for my surgery-- God bless you all!!! Know-that is my gift as well. I love to pray for all!! Always have since I found Christ!! (2003) I am grateful for all of you that said a small prayer, big prayer, tweeted, re-tweeted, called, sent cards/gifts etc etc etc. I am ever so grateful to you- the children of God- my friends thru Christ- who He heard and said "WOW-all is well-prayer answered!!" As I sit here, well, happy, seizure free one month after my surgery! God bless you all so dearly!! And I am grateful for all of you as my friends-whether you heard about it or not-Jesus did! You are all gifts to me!
I love to take a few names and shout out BIG THANKS-- as for this will go on till the day I die-and longer!! I am ever so thankful for you all!!! But I love to do it at least monthly!! So here we go!!!!!!
First off.... one very amazing, HUMBLE friend of mine- whom #1 - if SOMEHOW you aren't connected- please go to @KEV125 ... #2 you are ready to see how Jesus works in all circumstances--connect with Kevin!! #3 just grasp yourself for always receiving blessings thru his tweets-- he is walking tightly, side by side with Jesus!! He has been such an amazing soul in my twitter stream- one that will always brighten my day- whether I was seizing, having ex husband issues when he snagged my kid, or whether I am thrilled as ever and he is praising with me-- He is Kevin!! Whom is a rock-- one like Christ! And expect that to amaze you-- as it always has me!!
Now, there is my dear friend @BarbaraDuke ... I don't choose her-as for her first name, being my mother's... granted that is a plus! :) But she is one beautiful woman-both INSIDE and out!!! She will tag you with amazing words of wonder-in which you just didn't expect-then, even BAM out of no where, she'll send you surprises that are even deeper, more warm and touching that you'd wonder who was really behind her screen!!?? She is always so upbeat, loving, caring-one who is inspiring and loving at all costs and moments- she is Barbara- but more than that- she is my precious friend I thank God for!!!! You will too-- connect to her and see why!!!!
My dear friend- who snuck up on me out of the blue - @Advocacy4change - is one who will never bring you down on twitter, one who always brings me joy!! He always sees the bright side of me-and all others, thru everything we have to talk about and share. And he sees the beauty to come out of what we face, conquered, and endured! He can see the beauty God has planned, not reason to dwell! And I love that attitude! Such a BIG AMEN!! This one is one to connect to for uplifting experience! One who will always bring you smiles! 
My dear friend thru Christ @SLT23C is one very dear one thru Jesus! He is sure being guided by the Holy Spirit and what Christ has in plans! He is setting up- knowing His plans will unfold... as He sits praying for His next step in guidance! He sure is on fire and is excited to talk about his thoughts about how Jesus is working and His plans for him- I love to hear how Jesus DOES affect 17 yr olds ... and younger! I just didn't know! :) One amazing soul!
My precious friend I have been connected with for at least a year- @joyfulnspirit ! She has a precious marriage-ADORABLE KIDS- and the ONE THING I WAS ALWAYS AMAZED AT--- she HOME SCHOOLS, and always seems so uplifting, calm!! Now I know we all have our trials, and I am here for as many as possible, as many are for me... but you would never know with her-- she just keeps plugging away, with KINDNESS, LOVE, FAITH, and goodness--- HUMOR!! :) She keeps me on my toes! One dear soul who will always brighten your day!!!
Then @BJhewitt - who has such a heart!!! Such prayers!! Such care!! And also listens to all thoughts. He has, truly a sincere heart thru Christ- and an open heart for all thru Him. He is a prayer warrior for sure- one who has sure touched my soul thru that! He isn't one who fights... he is one who debates- listens- thinks out... but there is no one wrong or right. As for we don't know the answers till the end- Jesus will give us the low down. Till then we keep loving each other and sharing thoughts and definitely prayers! And when you talk to him- you'll see, how dear he is thru prayer!
One very precious soul who caught my tweet out of the blue- is a very kind-hearted friend, who knows what Epilepsy is like. Who knows the heart as a best friend. Who is strong in faith and prayer- my gift from God I thank Him for her dear tweets- @annNow ...  She Always brings me joy and smiles-- in all situations!! Very precious gift...
One I can't even explain, is truly from Jesus-- is @atmurdockjr  One who was very much there for ME-with such kind, humble words of prayer during my brain resection-- just out of the blue. And I responded to his amazing, uplifting responses-to my tweets of scripture-etc. And we got into a deep discussion on life- and he is one transparent soul, like me, that I thank God for. A Pastor so open. A Pastor of true Truth. One out there about all he WENT thru- and still goes thru.. but gets thru it, WITH CHRIST! I was amazed and touched at how glorified Christ is thru him and his family! And how blessed we are to be connected- one day, meet them! Amazing what brain surgery can bless you with!
Last one for tonight is my friend @2tir3d -- Rose-- she is one precious gift thru Jesus whom knows that the best is on the Other Side to come. That we may still have suffering to come- but we are to give it to Him, smile thru it all- and know HE DID SO MUCH MORE FOR US- TO LOVE US- TO SAVE US- and He takes it all- our pains will again, go away! But His love will always stay!! And Rose is one uplifting kind soul to share that love thru HIM. Reaching out making sure you remember!! And I thank God for her!! Be blessed- and connect!! 
Just know- I adore you all... and I try to get one out every 2 weeks to every month!!! I don't intentionally skip over any of you-- I just #1 have less brain...  :)  #2 will get to you all! :)  I adore you all!
Blessings!!!!
In His Grip,

AWAKE

Yes... I did have AWAKE brain surgery February 12, 2010.. my 3rd brain resection. But that isn't why this is REALLY titled "AWAKE."

This is titled AWAKE for how awake I became-truly- to all of my dear twitter friends... the ones I knew closely, and the ones I either partially knew, or some I DID NOT KNOW AT ALL!! And when news zipped around about my surgery finally moving forward after over a year of waiting and prayer-tons of people were thrilled-at my twitter and facebook and even KelseyLive.com reaching out in prayer and love. To me, my family, etc. And this just touched my life for good. 

This is a way I have always been with others. Real reach-out person, in all circumstances. There the moment my seizures allow me to!! And when it all gets turned around, it sure, can be odd at first... but then you have to sit back-and praise God for bringing so many amazing souls into your life! Just thrilled for such kindness, humbleness, love, gentleness, all of it.... thru HIM! 

I sit back and praise God for my hubby @flyingchristian who was nothing but amazing!! Strong thru it all!! He posted updates thru my whole stay on my blog http://manyepilepsycures.blogspot.com  --kept his mind focused on Jesus-HIS PLANS-his faith in HIM- as opposed to worrying! PRAISE JESUS!! I love you and our precious daughter Tory so much....

Then there was amazing @SwitchingGranny who began this WILD, LOVING, ON FIRE, PRAYER CHAIN!!! #praying4Hetty --she is just such a doll.. amazing woman of Christ-that even through trials and strife of her own-she concentrates on the need of others... and Jesus smiles big, with amazing rewards for her to come! Starting with huge ((HUGS)) and love now--and an amazing seat with Him when she enters--and hugs HIM!! WOW-connect to her to feel some love!!
Then there is this precious friend @MarshaSpicer -- who kept very much in contact with me while I was in the hospital, and even today! She brings me so much joy with such kind, gentle, caring words... and then still goes on about ME being so humble and encouraging -- inspiring etc... when we both sit back and say NO-- that is ALL JESUS!! She knows... because she has been thru big surgeries.. and knows it is all the grace of God that sees us thru-- as we give it ALL TO HIM!
My awesome friend @Pecor ... she is just a sweet, true gift. One who has such KIND WORDS- ALL THE TIME TO ME. Has so much care for all!! Places others first. This is just true... when you hear the statement "a heart of gold." No matter what she ever goes thru-she has one of those for others-just full of such love and care... and I just have so much to give back to her! Talk about a friend!! True friends can be hard to come by-- but not this one!
Then the ever amazing @JKwallace  -- very dear friend thru Christ whom is a pastor's wife from TN... and so strong in her own walk-that she is amazing thru HIM to reach out to others! One that is on fire-and full of faith and love...will astound you!! This dear lady had her own medical pain-- but was all over my surgeries and long hospital stay--sending me flowers, cards, gifts for Valentines Day--even for my family!! She just never rested!! Kept in contact with me--- and still does!! I am so blessed! We may be far by states, but so near by HEART!!! AMAZING FRIEND THRU Jesus!
Then precious @DianeTate !!! Dear Lady who ALSO went thru the same type of AWAKE brain surgery I went thru this time-- at the Mayo Clinic also with I doctor I know up at the MN Hospital. She came out FULLY recovered-- had some time to adapt and recover-- but she is recovered as a new person-- all thanks #1 to our Lord and Savior #2 our amazing Mayo Hospital and the docs, surgeons, techs, nurses-care!! AMEN! This lady was so much care and support-- and still is. Even with all she goes thru-- she is right there! Such a godly built heart! 
My dear friend @faithfulpoet !! WOW!! Talk about definition of a heart!! He has one that you would think he has a perfect life rolling for all the uplifting he brings you!! The joy he brings in YOUR hard days-in your strife- or in my brain surgery!! This soul is full of grace and love-- all thru our Lord that sees him thru step by step as well!!! As for we all have tough times.. but he still gets thru it- WITH HIM-- and reaches to others. He is one with a true heart- true talent from THAT heart that leads to AMAZING POETRY!!! I suggest you connect and find ALL OF THIS OUT! He will amaze you!  This is to his new poetry blog:  http://www.joemerrell.com/ 
Finally, I don't know how to say HOW BLESSED I AM that I met, and became precious friends with @jamielynnbeals ! She and I have tweeted for some time now. Ran into a tragic time together, when we still hadn't really met yet-other than waved at a concert from a distance. We lost our precious friend we both, on our own times, visited, had a dear friendship with @jasonmitchener ... She sure helped me grieve thru it all, as for he was the first dear soul I ever lost-and in such a tragic way! This precious friend-- decided to come meet, and visit me while I was up at Mayo, deep wires in my brain!! I FELT SO BLESSED! She came up the late afternoon prior my brain brain resection!! We talked about LIFE for like 4 hours-- then we were interrupted by my dear neurosurgeon Dr. Zimmerman. He turned from happy go lucky Zimmerman- to VERY SERIOUS DOC! And poor Jamie-not used to this at all, looking at her feet as he re-told the AWAKE brain surgery procedure- to make sure I WAS AGO!!  She was astounded when he left the room at what I was prepped for!! But we sure all live different lives- and we all have more "strength" He gives us in certain areas than others- as they do in other areas than we do!! We sure had more to talk about after he left. After I went thru it-- and was in ICU-- I was in a physically moving ability-and mentally on top of the world!! She and I talked and I said to "please, YES, come visit!" Her dear husband Kevin and she-both came..it was amazing! These two have hearts of Jesus-- and share it with all!! They are off to Israel MONDAY! Pray it goes well, and is safe!!! I am blessed with a dear, close- local friend! God will work thru us!
Another amazing place I had awesome prayers one is KelseyLive.com --amazing soul yes, is Kelsey Grammer who talked to me deep about what I was going thru-plus had assistants call me about it all-how can they help me-- so I can help others--included the AMAZING, heartfelt @HoldemTalkRadio !! I felt so blessed. But if you are there-- or look into it- one AWESOME SOUL.. and on FIRE for Jesus- is Gene Richards! One that started a worldwide prayer for me- really listened to me AND CARED! WOW!! Such a heart this soul has-- and Jesus is so thrilled! 
The list here is just THE START.... will be posting just MORE TO COME!!! You all just make me smile-- and kept my spirits up thru HIM and your amazing love-- I truly thank Jesus for everyone!! I am well--and I thank Him, and YOU ALL!
Blessings and LOVE!

Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I among them."

Amazing tweets for the new year....

Twitter is an amazing place-- where you can talk to people on line-- about so much you have in common. My BIG common is #Jesus-- our Lord and Savior. More commons build up from there... such as prayer, illness, Epilepsy, children, abuse, surgery, music, oooohhh etc... 
It is a place that you can be yourself-- on line-- and when you meet in person-- in person. It is a way to share all that has gone on in your life- both good and tough-- and share it with others-- letting them know also-- God never gives us more than we can handle. And we all can be amazing support for one another. Awesome encouragers-- friends-- uplifters-- truthful ones who let us know when we step out of bounds. I feel so blessed to know so many-- and have such a close bond with a ton of you-- I try to keep pushing these out-- this is my first one for this NEW YEAR of 2010!!!!!
Thru it all, I have met, in person quite a few tweets-- and thank God for that. I look forward to meeting more in the future. We had become really close friends with @HopHopkins and his wife @hopsgirl and their family friend @SKanderson but they all moved to Oklahoma.... and will be missed sooooo much!!
A really dear soul is @gregmcmurty from Michigan.... a state where I was born.  :) He is one AMAZING soul thru #Jesus who always has kind words and truthful soul. Never a negative-- always positive thru everything!!
Then there is amazing @greg249 -- my dear friend Dennis. He is one amazing soul who cares about everyone. He has such insightful tweets--brilliant website that makes you think- but most of all-- a heart that is truly never ending. 
Then there is dear, young, motivated @blogomomma ... She is one delightful, uplifting-YOUNG soul out there tweeting to all. She always is smiling, and not just on the pic-- with every tweet!! Fills twitterland full of Joy-- and I am so thankful God brought us together as friends!!
"Your life is a song that only you can sing; but it takes wing when you harmonize with God." ~@PattyTownley  Patty is one very dear soul-- that reaches out to all-- uplifting thru her heart-- thru God. She is one that listens well-- and speaks amazing words so true. God blessed me with a connection with her-- as for she always brings me joy!!
My precious dear friend @cupcakes5 will find the good in everyone. She always has amazing, kind words--flowing thru her twitter-- and thru her heart. God works wonders thru her love for all. One amazing soul that if somehow you aren't connected-- you should be!
Then-of course there is my dear friend I am so grateful for... @Chriscarroll50 -- though he may be physically far away--- on another continent.. he is so close by tweets, by SKYPE and facebook- but mostly- by our Lord and Savior #Jesus Christ. One dear soul you need to tweet with often-- to understand!!
I will close this Amazing tweets post with a precious, truthful soul- who is always there for you, making sure all is well thru our Lord--- and that is @Our_Lord ... He has a heart so close to our Lord's-- one who knows how to live in hard times-- and still praise Him--- live in great times-- share time--- grieve with others-- praise with others-- no matter what his times are. Amazing friend.
I love you all so dearly-- I get these out as often as I can-- I have a few blogs-- and posted so many on the one I miss dearly--- my dear friend @jasonmitchener ... he is always in my heart-- just isn't a car drive away--- I guess he is somewhat closer- less gas money-- a prayer away... just hurts. Sending @jasonmitchener my love....


Blessings tweets!!
