So.....

I just realized I have ADD. Nope. It hasn't been diagnosed by a doctor. I haven't decided yet if I'm even going to see one. But I know I have it. The more I learn about it, the more I see it in myself. I look back and I can see how it affected my past greatly. I have always been unorganized, distracted, absentminded. I'm always forgetting and losing things. My mind is always a jumble. I KNOW I have ADD. And you know what? I'm excited about it!

In the world, ADD stands for Attention Defict Disorder. I don't see it that way. Yes I have trouble keeping my attention on things. But I don't think it's a disorder. I think it's a gift! I think I was made this way on purpose. I think the world has placed a stigma on ANYONE who is different than the majority. I'm glad we have all those organized people. We need them! Without them, this world would be a much bigger mess than it is now. Some of the people I look up to the most are those non-ADD people.

But I believe God made us this way on purpose. I just believe it's looked at as a disorder is because we've only been taught how to function in this "organized" world. But that's not how we're supposed to function. When we are forced to function that way, we get messed up. We get distracted and flustered. We struggle so hard because that's not how we're supposed to be. And the world sees us as scatterbrained mental cases.

But if we were just taught how to function the way we were made to, we could do what we were meant to do. So many "ADD"ers are creative and sensitive. We're the artist, the musicians, the compassionate. Not to say that non -"ADD"ers can't be those things too. But THAT's what we're good at. God made us this way and if we just follow His will, LIKE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO!!! things would fall into place. We would live up to our true potential. I think if it weren't for ADD, this world would be a pretty boring place. Only I don't call it Attention Deficit Disorder. I call ADD, A Divine Destiny. And I believe there are alot more of us than the world knows. We either don't know why we struggle (like me up until a few days ago) or we just don't want to step forward. But I am stepping forward right now and saying, "I have ADD! I have A DIVINE DESTINY! God made me this way on purpose! He has a great plan for my life! And I'm going to do whatever I can to do His will! Thank you Jesus!!! You are my King and my Saviour! I will praise you forever!!!"
