How do we know Christ loves us? How do we know when the love of God shines the room with his love and floors us with his presence?



My Lord I love you
What can I give you my lord?
You have given the world
You have floored me with your presence.
How?
By surrounding me with wonderful people who care for me
Love me
How do I know you watch over me?
I know because your love shines my room each morning with your presence
You have blessed my life with the gifts you have given me
What gifts?
The gift of giving
To share my love with others
The ability to share myself with the world around me.
To share the words of Christ that lay in my heart
Through my actions that lie in my spirit.




Why are lockets shaped as hearts?


Hearts are lockets,
Each person has a heart filled with love
However, not everyone knows how to love themselves or others
Ask Christ for key
He will come into your soul and unlock your heart
Love will flow like a river
Running throughout your body
The love will change you
And Touch the lives around you.



Who is by our side through our highs and lows?
Who guides us to safety when we are lost?
Who will save you when you are in trouble?


The Fear of what others think carries inside within all of us,
The worries of what others think,
The concern of acceptance
Is it necessary to worry about what others think?
On the other hand, should we be concerned about what Christ thinks?
Is society forgiving?
Christ is,
Does society love you for who you are?
Christ does,
Does society love you and all your flaws?
Christ does,
When you fall and cannot get up who will save you
Christ will






What is the true meaning of love? What does it mean for two people to truly love each other?




It is easy to express verbally that you love him or her.

The words I love you are quick and easy to say,

But there is another side to the words I love you

A side that is not so short and simple

It is through one's action

When you love someone, those actions should appear naturally

You should not have to wonder how the right way to love someone is

There is no right or wrong way

Loving someone comes within

It shows through the person's eyes, their tough

The magic of love is when two people love each other

Those two are bond together as one

When those two share intimate emotions in the heat of passion

Their souls (the spirit within the soul) endure together as one

Two bodies within the same mind body and soul

For as long as eternity ruled by God will let them share their love

A love that will be with us forever

So when I say I love you its not three simple words

It is what my heart feels and my actions show

It is a special commitment

A commitment shared from the moment we said, I do

Living life with epilepsy can be a colossal struggle. But, if you are Stacey Chillemi, it is a challenge and an opportunity to help others.

Stacey Chillemi is 32 years old, a mother of three, a wife and writer. Her journey and reason for being is defined each day by the happiness in her children's eyes and the people with epilepsy she has helped through her writing. "Through this experience with epilepsy I have learned to accept my limitations and to change the way I look at things. Through my writing I am able to help others and just knowing I've helped is enough of a reward," said Chillemi.

How it Began
At five years of age, Chillemi contracted encephalitis from what doctors surmise began as an ear infection. For four days she lay in a coma and doctors were unsure of whether she would suffer from paralysis as well as the extent of the brain damage. Fortunately, she recovered from her bout with encephalitis with no paralysis. However, she was left with epilepsy. Since her diagnosis, 27 years ago, Chillemi has had seizures ranging in severity from mild seizures in her sleep to tonic-clonic seizures.

Living with Limitations
As a mother of three and a woman with epilepsy, Chillemi is realistic about her limitations, "Having epilepsy and being a mom is difficult at times because I worry that if I have a seizure and I am unable to recover fast enough, that my kids will suffer," said Chillemi. In fact, the entire time Chillemi has been a mother she has had only one tonic-clonic seizure resulting in serious injury. According to Chillemi, she was walking the dog with her children when she felt a seizure coming on. She immediately instructed the children to go inside and wait downstairs for her. Following the seizure, Chillemi realized she had suffered a head injury and reached out to a neighbor for help. After the tonic-clonic seizure Chillemi decided to write a childrens book, called "My Mommy Has Epilepsy". Her goal was to help children understand epilepsy in an age appropriate way as well as to help dispel some of the fear she had witnessed her own children experience. "I dont want my children to get nervous or to worry about my seizures and the tonic- clonic seizure really motivated me to write a children's book to help them and other kids cope and understand epilepsy."

She admits she is also limited by not being able to drive, but attributes her ability to ask for help when she needs it as one more lesson learned. "At first it was difficult to rely on other people to drive the children and me places. I felt bad asking family and friends. But, now Ive accepted my limitations and accepted who I am."

Wisdom for Women
Chillemi cautions women with epilepsy to monitor their stress level. "Dont try to accomplish too much. Do as much as you can and remember to set realistic goals and to reward yourself each day." She also believes that in order to live with epilepsy and maintain a positive attitude it is important to focus on ones self. " Dont look at what other people can do, only focus on yourself and your abilities because if you constantly compare, then you are adding to your stress level, which leads to being more physically drained and ultimately leaves you open to experience more seizures." She advises women with epilepsy to educate themselves about their epilepsy and believes knowledge helps alleviate stress as well, "Women need to consult with their doctor, but not rely on their doctor for all of their information. In order to really feel empowered it is essential to take the initiative to learn all you can about epilepsy."

Chillemi is in the process of publishing several books including, "Epilepsy and Pregnancy",which she coauthored with Dr. Blanca Vazquez, "My Mommy Has Epilepsy" and "Love of a Lifetime". She has also published "Epilepsy Youre Not Alone". For more information regarding Chillemis work please visit : www.authorsden.com/staceydchillemi
