The "Me" and The "Why"

Hi, my name is Christanda. I am 23 years old and I have a beautiful son, Callum, and a Mini ShihTzu, Lilo. I am a child at heart and you can almost always catch me either watching or listening to something Disney. I was born in West Valley City in the beautiful, mountainous state of Utah, and grew up in LaVerkin, UT. When I was six weeks old, I was admitted to the hospital with RSV and a collapsed left lung. I almost lost my life twice to RSV, but thankfully was in and out of the hospital within nine days. I was fortunate enough to only come out of that experience with exercise induced asthma. At age 4 I had found my passion and my zest for life, clogging. This passion was quickly noticed to be my talent and my calling in this life. Little did I know that clogging would save my life during one of the hardest trials I never thought I would ever face. God knew what I needed and prepared a way for my life to never go without meaning or purpose. I was married by age 19 and a mother by 23. I have endured many forms of hell and Satan's wrath, but I am still standing and do not plan on giving up... ever. I will never forget that God loves me and my son, and will never leave our side. That, the hell, is why I have felt inspired to start this documentation of life. I have endured many things and become stronger because of them. I hope that, should you choose to, you read through my trials, triumphs, and experiences and are somehow inspired to keep going. Life is hard and often times we feel alone. I promise that you are not alone. He will never leave you stranded without guidance or protection. Your God, my God, our God.... He loves you no matter what path of life you should choose to walk. He will always be there, to welcome you home with open arms. My Heavenly Father and my son are my "why".
