Ashley M. Kumlien and Thomas Budde stopped in Carrollton, Ohio on Labor Day 2010. While there I got to meet Tom and Ashley while they stopped for a few moments before heading off to the state of PA.

 

Ashley is not in this photo, however I am waiting for the photo that was taken by another person to be sent that was taken with me and her.

For some they do not adjust to change to well as there are some that are set in their ways and if something changes then they become lost.

 

For some, disabilities inhibit them from being able to interact with others at school, social situations, or work. This can trigger a sense of alienation and seclusion from society which can cause feelings of depression or loneliness.

 

God has the ultimate control of us as he created the world and placed us here for one reason or another. For some we wonder what that reason is,

 

In order to be succesful in our life here, we have to accept the fact that everything around us changes, all the time.

 

There are somethings we have limited control over, such as relationships, decision making, and the directions we choose to go in. We have no control over life and death situations as they will throw us "off track."

 

In the past three years I was dealt some changes in my life, most of them I chose, one of them chose me.

 

In 2006 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. When I was informed of this I found myself breaking down inside. I found that I was thinking the worse, all the negatives of what was going to happen instead of looking more towards how this can be changed into something positive.

 

In my life I have two people beside me that I strongly believe that faith has opened the door to spirtitual ways and from that day, my life has changed for a more positive way with the MS disease. The people I am speaking of are my wife, Jessica, and my little girl Emmaleigha.

 

Through them I see God has taken a part of himself and placed his encourgement into them to assist me with support that I need. I am now finding myself spreading the word about MS, the effects that it has, and wanting to encourage others to speak out and support others that have MS.

 

No matter what one's belief, sprituality does bring great strength, helps guide one's journey and fullfill one's destiny.

 

God has placed everyone of us on this earth for a reason and he is inside all of us. I believe that God has told me my reason and now I must spread the word about MS.
