I'm a survivor.. And I am amazing..

Last night after recording/posting my latest video, I was going through some old folders on my laptop and I came across so many pictures of me from last year. Pictures of my body looking great, in a bikini, laying out, working out, all posed up & looking awesome, and it started to get to me.. Just minutes before I was praising God for getting me through these past few months and everything else I've ever been through, and within seconds the devil was able to catch my attention by bringing my focus to my outer image. I started having thoughts like "Wow I looked so great, look at my legs, how nice they looked. They will never be the same now though, because now they have scars on them." I was basically giving myself a pity party. But thank God I realize what I was doing and I stopped myself in my own tracks and I told myself this.. "I'll be sexier than ever. Because I will be a girl who overcame... A fighter.. Not just a little miss prissy, girly girl who never broke a bone before.... I'll be Charity, She-hulk.. Super Woman.." I fought death and won, and the devil tried to break my legs to keep me down,  but I'll learn how to walk again.. I broke several bones, I've had two surgeries, and too many stitches to count, and I have all of the scars to prove it ;) I have more strength and confidence now than i ever did before. There is NOTHING in this life that i cannot overcome. I AM PROOF OF THAT. I am a survivor. And that my friend, is much more sexier than any bikini body, with perfect little scarless legs.. -xoxo, Charity 

To GOD be the GLORY!

Please feel free to share with me anything you would like to share! Give the devil a black eye and give God some glory! Be an overcomer by the word of your testimony!

Whatever your facing, know *THIS TOO shall PASS*  and remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You can and will get through this! Dont give up!

There has been too many times to count all through-out my lifetime, that God has brought me through.
Things i NEVER thought i would ever overcome, things i never thought i could survive. But i held onto God and my faith in him, with all of my heart, mind and soul, and i trusted in him, and i put my HOPE in HIM And he has brought me through, every single time!!!!! Praise GOD!!! To GOD be the GLORY forever and ever AMEN!

Love Always,
Yours Truly, Charity xoxo

Thanksgiving. . I'm so thankful...

We always seem to think that we take the little things for granted.. But I have learned it is the big things we take for granted. Like the ability to stand on your own two feet and walk. Or to use your left hand even though you're right handed. Or even taking a shower on your own... I'm so thankful that God saved me the night of the accident, and I'm so thankful that I can still use my left leg and my right arm/hand- but take my advice and be thankful and grateful for everything single thing.. At the moment I am like a child. My mother has to put me in bed and help me use the restroom, and I never realized how important all of that was until you are no longer able to do so. Also I am so thankful for my mom and my sister inlaw Hanna. They have been so patient with me and have went above and beyond- to take care of me... I can't say enough how thankful I am for them. ♡ Happy Thanksgiving everyone..

Your miracle is on it's way.

"Dont Give Up, Your Miracle Is Coming!"

And you might ask, how i know this, or how it's even possible? 

Because what GOD has done for ME, 

I KNOW he can do for you.

You all know how much i've been through, And maybe you dont know all of it, but you know i've lived a life of struggles, and heart-ache, and i've been through more than any girl should ever have to go through (at my age). & Some things, that i've never even told to my closest friends-

And just recently, after going through yet ANOTHER break up, I made a choice. I was not going to let it define me, destroy me, or affect me. I picked my head up, i wiped my tears away, And i made the decision to TRUST IN THE LORD 100%. I made the decision to stop caring & stop worrying, and to put my life IN HIS HANDS.

Because at this point in my life, i realized- I had no control, And there wasnt much i could do about anything.

And the moment that i took it out of my hands, And put it into God's- He changed my entire life.

I thought God had been good to me in the past, but i never imagined what he had in store for me this year!

Words cannot express my grattitude for what the Lord has done for me.

I cannot count the times that God has set me free, and delivered me, from people and things.

I've been through so much all of my life, and last year, i thought all of my trouble's was over.

But i've learned that in this life, on this earth, troubles are never ending.

Things will get better, Things will get worse,

Life will be amazing.. and before you know it, it all goes down hill.

But never once has my God forsaken me,

Never once has he left my side.

Never once has he not healed my broken heart.

I cant even begin to tell you all what the Lord has done for me, this year.

A few months ago, The Lord told me, that he was going to restore EVERYTHING that the devil had ever stolen from me. And honestly, i never realized what was about to happen ;)

I didnt take his words for granted, i held on to his promise-

Yet i never fully understood it.

But day, after day,

God slowly but surely restored everything to me, 100 x over.

He completely restored my heart, and my mind, and my soul.

And best of all, my joy.

Im not even the same person that i thought i once was, not even at my best.

He restored my joy completely-

The joy i had as a child,

Before i ever even knew heart-ache, or loss,

Everything that the devil threw at me, and stole from me,

God gave back to me.

Even down to little meaningless things- 

God restored back to me.

I look at myself today, And i dont even recognize this person!?

Even friends i've known for years-

Say "Charity, what's up with you, your acting different"

And i tell them, that's only because you only knew the BROKEN me,

The person that the world and people had destroyed,

You never knew this Charity, this is the original Charity i was before all that...

Everyone see's the difference in me.

My own Aunt even told me, she seen a difference in me,

And my closest friends, say, Your back to your old self!

I wasnt me for the longest time.

I was depressed, and opressed,

I was in such a shape, i didnt know what i was.

I was just living & breathing & getting by-

I never realized what God could actually do for me.

This is the happiest i ever ever been in my life,

I feel like a child-

I've never known this kind of joy before.

And i give all of the glory to God!

My faith is greater than ever,

My relationship with God, and my family and my friends

are better & stronger than ever-

Im a totally new girl,

100 % restored,

To the person God had always wanted me to be.

But because the world tore me down, i never could be that person.

This life of mine just keeps getting better and better.

I praise God for it every second-

Of every day!

I always used to fake a smile,

and just do what i had to do, to face people-

But now, im literally so happy i cannot stop smiling, i never stop laughing.

I walk on sunshine, daily.

and

I am loved by a perfect God

who loves me perfectly, just the way i am.

And he is my everything,

And i am his.

And every day with HIM just keeps getting better & better-

Whatever your facing today,

Just hold on, Dont give up.
Keep your faith!

I promise you,

Your restoration is coming,

God is going to do the unthinkable for you.

If he did it for me,

I know he can do it in your life as well!

God is going to TURN it ALL around.

"Dont Give Up, Your Miracle Is Coming!"

Love, Always

Charity

One Art. A Poem By Elizabeth Bishop ♥

One Art. (a poem)

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster,

Lose something every day.
Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

- Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

-Elizabeth Bishop
