The Reality of Insulin & Diabetes Supplies 💙


One thing many people don’t realize about living with Type 1 Diabetes is this—


Insulin and diabetic supplies are not optional.

They are life-saving necessities.


Without insulin, a person with Type 1 Diabetes cannot survive.


And it’s not just insulin.


There are glucose meters, test strips, insulin pumps, CGMs like Dexcoms, sensors, needles, emergency low blood sugar snacks, doctor visits, lab work, and so many other supplies that are needed daily.


Living with Type 1 Diabetes means constantly planning ahead.


Before leaving the house, you have to make sure you have everything you need because emergencies can happen quickly.


And honestly, this disease can become very expensive—especially for people without insurance.


Even with insurance, supplies can still cost a lot out of pocket.


There are families struggling every month trying to decide how to afford insulin and supplies while also paying bills and buying groceries.


That should never happen.


No one should have to fear not being able to afford the medicine that keeps them alive.


This is why diabetes awareness matters so much.


People living with Type 1 Diabetes are not asking for sympathy—we are asking for understanding, compassion, affordable care, and truth about this disease.


And through all of this, I thank God for helping me through every season. 🙏


There have been times I didn’t know how things would work out, but somehow God always made a way.


He has helped me through health battles, grief, stress, and moments of fear.


And He continues to remind me to trust Him one day at a time.


I truly believe God gives strength for the battles we never expected to fight.


So if you are struggling today—whether financially, physically, mentally, or emotionally—keep holding on.


God sees your needs.

God sees your fight.

And He has not forgotten you.


💙 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19


Let’s continue spreading awareness, truth, compassion, and hope. 🙏💕

What Does It Mean to Be Christ-Like? Being Christ-like is more than a title we claim—it is a life we live. In the Bible, being Christ-like means reflecting Jesus’ character, attitudes, and actions . It means embodying radical love, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice—even toward those who hurt us or oppose us. It is a daily transformation of the heart, led by the Holy Spirit, as we become more like Him. Being Christ-like is not about following rules or appearing religious. It is about carrying the heart of Jesus —a servant’s heart. It’s about letting the world see Christ in us through how we love, forgive, serve, and walk in obedience to God. Jesus taught us to love not only our neighbors, but also our enemies: “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44 Christ-likeness means humility—laying aside pride and choosing obedience: “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus…” — Philippians 2:5...

 🎥 Keeping It Real Making It Through Mother’s Day After Loss 💙 Mother’s Day can be beautiful… but it can also be incredibly hard when you’ve lost a child. This Mother’s Day has brought a lot of emotions for me. I miss my daughter deeply, and there are moments when the grief still feels very heavy. There’s an emptiness that comes with losing a child that never fully goes away. But by the grace of God, I’m making it through one moment at a time. 🙏 And while my heart misses my daughter here on earth, I’m also thankful for the blessings God has still given me. I still have my handsome son, and I have three beautiful grandchildren that I love with all my heart. 💕 They bring joy, smiles, and reminders that even after loss, life still holds precious moments. Grief and gratitude can exist together. You can miss someone deeply while still being thankful for the people who are still here. That’s something God has been teaching me.
