SKYLAR YOUNG'S STARS ARE THE LIMITZ- NATIONAL AMERICAN MISS PRE-TEEN


My daughter (Skylar Young) is a PA State Finalist in the National American Miss Pre-teen pageant.  She is so excited!  She would like to be an actress or dancer.  I developed a You Tube video of her to help people know who she is.  The video is here:

SKYLAR'S GOFUNDME  ACCOUNT

We also created a GoFund me account to help her raise the money that she needs to make this dream happen.  Her Go Fund me account is at :  https://funds.gofundme.com/dashboard/skylaryoungNAM


SKYLAR'S MEDICAL STRUGGLES 
Well, let me tell you a little about why this is so important to me for my daughter.  First of all, I believe in supporting my daughter's dreams 100%.  Additionally, I am 100% willing to help her meet her dream goals.  Secondly, Skylar has been through a lot since she was born.  Let me take you back 11 years ago.  Skylar was two weeks overdue and didn't want to come out, so I had to be induced. The doctor kept saying, "wow, she has a full head of hair".  He must of said that for hours, but Skylar was still not completely out.  Well, at some point, the doctor decided that he was going to do a C-section to get Skylar to come out and see us.  Fred (Skylar's father) got ready to go into the operating room with me and Skylar.  However, shortly after getting dressed for operating room, they started rushing Skylar and me into the emergency C-section.  Fred wasn't allowed in the room.  Skylar and I both went into distress and we both were fading.  They took us into the emergency C-section while Skylar's father and grandmother waited anxiously.  It was hours before I finally came to and I got to hold my daughter.  Skylar's father wouldn't let Skylar's grandmother or anyone hold her until I came to and got to hold her first.  Here is a picture of the first time I got to hold Skylar.


Skylar had numerous medical issues.  She projected vomited as a baby.  This made me nervous, so I slept with her on the couch because I was so scared that she was going to asphyxiate.  She also cried unless she was held.  Additionally, she had a lazy eye, so she had glasses at 1 year old and had 3 eye surgeries by the time that she was 4. That wasn't all though.  She had multiple ear infections, so she had tubes placed in her ears 2 times.  Additionally, she had to have her adenoids removed two times, because they grew back after being removed the first time.  She had chronic sinus infections and allergies.  She also had Torticollis (wry neck), so she had to have Physical Therapy. She would cry and scream when the vacuum or blender was on (sound sensitivity) and multiple sensory issues.  Thus, she had Occupational Therapy to address fine motor delays and sensory issues.  She would push with markers so hard, that she broke the markers and had difficulty with fine motor tasks.  She also had some speech issues, so she received Speech Therapy. Well, then along came her brother when she was 3 years old.  She had extreme difficulty adjusting to having a brother.  Well, it was plain to see why.  Her brother also required 24 hour supervision to keep him safe.  He required a ton of attention to maintain safety.  The amount of time that her brother required impacted her belief that her father and I loved her.  She made multiple comments that "you love him and don't love me".  It wasn't hard to see why she felt that way.  Her brother did require a lot of attention.  Plus her father and I were both working full time.  I look back and don't know how we survived all of it.  I guess love of your children enables you to do amazing things.  Well, then her brother had Early Intervention come into the house.  Early intervention suggested that her brother be tested for food allergies.  So, we decided to have both of them tested for food allergies with a blood test.  The food allergies came back positive for both of them.  They were intolerant to gluten and casein.  They had to be placed on a gluten-casein free diet.  Additionally, we decided to have hair analysis for them done.  The hair analysis came back positive for heavy metals.  We had to detox them with supplement and then they were placed on supplements to heal their gut.  Skylar did not like being on the gluten/casein free diet!  But who could blame her, it was difficult.  Luckily, Fred's mother (Sherry), helped me learn how to make all of their favorite foods gluten/casein free.  My mother also helped with learning how to cook various things.  In summary, Skylar has had tremendous challenges to get to where she is today.  

INFORMATION ABOUT SKYLAR YOUNG

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEEL WORTHLESS, UNLOVED, HELPLESS by Kimfitnesschic

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEEL WORTHLESS, UNLOVED, HELPLESS by kimfitnesschic






WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU TO MAKE YOU HAVE FAITH? 
At church, we were asked to write something down that has happened to us to cause us to have faith!  It really got me thinking about why my faith is so strong.  I am completely broken person, but yet I have iron faith.  It also made me realize that so much has happened to me to not have faith.

I have wanted to write this blog since I started blogging.  However, I was told by someone to not write this blog, so I didn't write this specific one.  I think it was for my best, that I didn't write this blog until now.  I was mentally weaker back then.  However, I was driving in the car today and felt the strong desire to blog again and to do this blog post.  I don't blog just to blog.  I only blog when I feel like I have something that is extremely important for at least one person to hear.  I also only blog when I feel like it is coming from my heart.

So get ready to hear my story. Only people, who are extremely close to me or have been extremely close to me in the past know this.

What causes my faith to be strong?  

Let's see I have talked about the many vehicles that I have been in while they were totaled, including a Mack truck smashing into my mustang, pushing me into a school bus and going half way through a house.  Oh, by the way, I was stopped at a red light.  I walked away from it.  The drunk driver drag racing and smashing into the car that my friends and I were in.  Oh, by the way, my eyes were open, but there are 20-24 hours that I can't remember at all, but I was talking.  Yeah, call me crazy, but I think I took a little trip to heaven that day.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO FEEL WORTHLESS, UNLOVED, HELPLESS


Now, let's see.  What is it like when you feel worthless, so unloved and so helpless?  So imperfect and useless!  Oh yes, you would do anything to drown out the pain and to kill yourself.  Has Kimfitnesschic ever been to that point?  IF YOU ONLY KNEW, how many times I have felt that unloved, useless, helpless and worthless!  So what do you do?  You try to cheer yourself up!  It doesn't always work.  Many people love to kick others when they are down, rather than say oh my God, how can I help you up!  I will help pick you up, even if it means I am bringing myself down with you!  So what happened?  Yep,  I tried to kill myself every which way possible, even researched the most effective ways to kill myself!  You are probably rolling your eyes and saying "oh my god", "i can't believe that she is sharing this" or "she only wants attention".  NOPE!  This was the old me!  Why am I sharing this?  I am sharing this because if my sharing this gives one person strength or helps one person to understand that they aren't alone, then this post was worth gold to me!


Looking back and analyzing everything, I learned some key things:
1) I am loved by God
2) God has a purpose for my life and it is my job to listen to that purpose
3) I am a sinner by nature but I also have a heart of gold
4) I have experienced horrific things in my life to enable me to be able to understand others in same situations and to help them
5) God made me, so I am not a mistake!  God doesn't make mistakes
6) Actions are louder than words
7) People will knock you down to try to build themselves up, don't lower yourself to that level.  Build others up, even if it means bringing yourself down
8) Miracles happen on a daily basis, You just have to have your eyes open.
9)  I don't only pray on Sundays and I don't only pray in church.  I pray in my car, bathroom, anywhere and everywhere.  I talk to God and my loved ones in Heaven as if they are sitting beside me.
10)  My faith belief is that we should love one another unconditionally and try to understand that we all are flawed and sinful.  I do not try to push my beliefs or faith on others.  I do try to love others, no matter what.  Am I always successful, no because I am sinful!  I do try to catch myself and stop doing it though.
11)  Be yourself because those who truly love you, won't care.  If they love you for someone other than yourself, then they aren't truly loving you!  They are loving the mask!
12) Others being mean to you is a reflection of them, not you!

IF JESUS WAS TO COME BACK TO EARTH

If Jesus was to come back to Earth, do you think he would be in churches????  I don't think so!!!!!  He would be showing love to those needing the most love and those hurting the most.  He would be in places that majorities of people need saved or need to learn what love is.

I pray that God was with me while writing this!  I pray that love spreads throughout the word!  I pray that more people start understanding that we are all sinners and try to be loving towards each other!  I pray that the homeless find shelter, the hungry find food, the sick are healed, the weary are given rest and that people join hands to take a stand together and demonstrate love!  My favorite movie is PAY IT FORWARD!  Do for others without expecting anything in return!  Do for others because you want to, because seeing someone hurt breaks your heart!


May you spread love throughout the world
