I need your support girls!
 This week for whatever reason I am having a rough time. I am experiencing so many doubts, about my path and my plan. It seems as though I am doubting everything. I feel like I am much too young and much too old for this world all at once. I just need support girls and I need it from you. 

Love all of you!

To the Grimm Family
To Tracy, Marcy, Asia and Ethan:
 
What Cancer CANNOT Do...
Cancer is SO Limited
It cannot cripple LOVE
It cannot shatter HOPE
It cannot corrode FAITH
It cannot destroy PEACE
It cannot kill FRIENDSHIP
It cannot suppress MEMORIES
It cannot silence COURAGE
It cannot invade the SOUL
It cannot steal ETERNAL LIFE
It cannot conquer the SPIRIT.

I know that right now none of us understand why Ethan must leave us. My hope for your family is that you will feel God's embrace for he is making ready to give Ethan the biggest hug of his life. Your family has touched not only me but so many others. You have taught us the true meaning of love, and of faith, true faith in the plan that God has laid out for all of us. Ethan, you have lead such a brave life, you truly are a warrior. I am proud to say that I have been lucky enough to know and your family. I wish you and your family peace and also hope that you know a community and family that is St. Albert loves and supports all of you. Tracy, Marcy, and Asia, my heart breaks for you as you go through this pain and shadow. No words can express the pain I feel as I watch and pray for you. I hope this brings you peace of heart and mind. I am so sorry.  As always you have my love and prayers, as well as my family's. We love all of you and we pray for you.

Yours in Christ,
Teresa A. Gorman (class of 2007) and family

I sent this to Ethan's Caring Bridge guestbook a little while ago. My mom saw it while she was at work and she called me in tears. It made me start all over again.

I love you all,
Teresa

 God sent his angels to bring Ethan home yesterday (the 15th) at noon. I didn't have my emotions under control until now to post about it. I am so sad. It is for the best but none of us will say goodbye to him without heavy, broken hearts. 

If I haven't said it already, God be with all of you.

Love and prayers,
Teresa

Preoccupied
Spring break starts tomorrow at the end of my Philosophy class about 1:30pm. I should be so happy about it but I find my thoughts preoccupied by the news that a seventh grade boy named Ethan who has fought cancer for 8 years will be ending his fight tonight or tomorrow. He has been very sick for a long time. He has fought well and his poor little body just can't do it anymore. On one hand, I know that this is the end of his pain and strife, on the other I don't understand why God has to put people through cancer. When the St. Albert art teacher Deb McGuire passed in July, I took the view that He only takes the best, now I find myself asking why does he take the innocent, the good, the best?! I don't understand at all. I have been told that Ethan is ready, he isn't scared, he is at peace; but I still can't wrap my mind around it. I feel very unsettled, almost numb on the inside. I am not asking you to understand girls, I am just asking you to pray and hope that someone, somewhere finds a way to end cancer's tirade because we shouldn't have to lose the ones we love, we shouldn't have to bury the best. It needs to end and end soon.

I am going to go lay down and think for a while.

As always all of you have my prayers,

Teresa

At Peace
Today my dears we have a serious entry. I find myself feeling strangely at peace with my world and surroundings. I feel like I have reached a point of beginnings and at the same time closure with things that I didn't feel at peace with in myself over the last few months. I feel like my life is falling into place with school and work with my friends both  new and old. I feel like whatever un-acceptance I may have had about my disabilities is gone. I am not so sure if I had any but if I did I feel like its gone. I think it comes from graduating high school, getting a job, starting college, meeting new friends, finally meeting someone else with Cerebral Palsy that is accepting of me and kind to me. (Hello Brandon!)

I guess what I am trying to say is that I am happy. 

I promise to update soon!!!

I have the flu?! WTF??!!
That's right people! I got a flu shot and yet I went to the doctor on Tuesday with a sore throat and tested positive for Influenza. Well SHITE! I haven't been to work, or school even I did go to one class on Wednesday, and one today but that's it; mostly I have just slept. In other news, my arm is better and school is going well. I got accepted to Phi Theta Kappa which is an international honor society. It opens up 65 million dollars worth of scholarships that I wouldn't have had a chance at otherwise. So all is good, I am feeling better since the guy drama a couple of weeks ago; apparently he saw my little sister 
([info]stoppergirl191) at a concert and tried to pass it off to her that nothing had happened and she totally confronted him with it. She rocks. Did you read that Em? I actually like you. LOL. If you haven't been over to my friend Emily's LJ yet you should check it out. She is[info]musicangel88

As always dahlins, I pray for you and your families!

Love ya,
Teresa

The Phantom!!!!!!!!
Last night, Kit and I went to Phantom of the Opera at the Orpheum Theatre in Omaha, Nebraska which is just a hop, skip, and a jump across the Missouri River. It was absolutely amazing. We had nosebleed seats in the first row of the last gallery above the Grand Tier. Due to the superbowl, the show wasn't sold out so we were allowed to move up to the first row of the Grand Tier. Girls, we were dead center. We could see almost every single detail. The show was seriously the best thing I have ever seen. I can't even describe it. Anyway, I am at school and the news said that we are going to have a winter storm tomorrow (yuck!!!!.) Last night when I got home from the show I forgot that mom told me to watch out for slick spots and I slipped and fell. I landed on my right wrist. Mom thinks I probably hyperextended it and is going to make me an appointment with the doctor. So I am currently typing one handed. It sucks. Sorry if there are typos.

Gotta go I have Philosophy soon,

Teresa

EDIT: I have a hyperextended wrist, and so I am in brace, for awhile probably. Work on Thursday is going to be interesting.

Love ya dahlins,
Teresa

My name Means...........
 My name means................
Teresa Antonette

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

love you all dahlins,
Teresa

So from now on I am Auntie Teresa and I am so completely JAZZED about it. I am going to go rest now because I have been working eight hour days since the 14th.

Love you all,
Teresa A. Gorman

I wanted to share this with you.....................
 This was sent to me in an email from a friend. I wanted to share it with you all and to say that I hope you pass it on. 

Love you,

This is amazing that someone even thought of this! 

 

 

 

 

Dancing With God

 When I meditated on the word  Guidance,

I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.  

 I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.  

 When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.  

 The movement doesn't flow with the music,  

 and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.  

 When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,  

 both bodies begin to flow with the music.  

 One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back  

 or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.  

 It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.   

 The dance takes surrender, willingness,  

 and attentiveness from one person  

 and gentle guidance and skill from the other.  

 My eyes drew back to the word  Guidance.  

 When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".  

 "God, "u" and "i" dance."  

 God, you, and I dance.  

 As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust  

 that I would get  guidance about my life.  

 Once again, I became willing to let God lead.  

 My prayer for you today is that God's blessings  

 and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.  

 May you abide in God, as God   abides in you.  

 Dance together with God, trusting God to lead  

 and to guide you through each season of your life.  

 This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.  

 If God has done anything for  you in your life,  

 please share this message with someone else.  

There is no cost but a lot of rewards;  

 so let's continue to pray for one another.  

 And I Hope You Dance !

Lonely......
 Hey......
I don't know why but I'm lonely.  I guess I've been feeling so for some time now, but maybe I hadn't noticed it?  That sounds funny, but I don't think I did.  So I guess I need some cheering up......

Update again soon,
Teresa

Ambitions
Hello my dears,
I decided that I would take a moment to tell you all some of my ambitions. It sounds funny, but I have a list of 46 things I want to do before I leave this world. I am realistic in knowing that I may never complete all 46 but I want to do as many of them as I can. This list includes (in no particular order) riding a horse, learning to properly slow dance, marrying at the church that I have attended all my life, have a star named after me, talk with Christ, visit France, Ireland, Prague, New Zealand, and Japan; see a falling star, fall in love, find my guardian angel, write a book, be in two places at once, go skydiving, have children, marry the person who loves me most, grow a garden, go bungee jumping, get a tattoo. Yes I know that this sounds reminiscent of the film A Walk to Remember, but I am not going to tell you my number one. That's between Jesus and I. There are more on the list than I listed here but my fingers hurt from all of this typing. Hopefully this week I will get my textwriter, then updating will be easier. So I have told you my ambitions, now I want to hear yours.

Love you all!
Yours in Christ the Lord,
Teresa
