It's POTS not POT

No. This post is not about drugs. It is about one of my best friends. Her name is Abby Briggs. Abby and I have been friends for around 6 years now. She is one of the kindest and selfless people I have met in my life. Here is Abby and I pictured below leading a drama practice for our church:

ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL?! Abby is the one with the red hair. I am the one with my eyes really wide open because I like looking really excited in my selfies, apparently.

 Through out the years I have known Abby, I have seen major changes in her. She has changed from "just one of the kids that attend church camp" into a leader. She works at the church 24/7. She leads drama teams and she teaches the children AND she is doing this all while taking school online. Why does she take school online? because one of the other changes I have seen in her is physical. Abby has POTS. This is not caused from her smoking pot. There is an S at the end of this word. I don't know much about POTS, but I do know it consists of Abby not getting enough oxygen. Because of this, Abby has what we call an "episode." She starts hyperventilating and eventually ends up passing out. If you have never experienced someone having a POTS episode, I don't wish it upon you. It is one of the scariest experiences you will have in your life. It is more likely for an episode to happen when Abby gets really hot or is doing a lot of activity, I think. Again. I don't know much about POTS. Abby started having so many episodes that she had to leave high school and start school online. Regardless of how many episodes she has had at church though, she always pursues the Lord with all she has. Abby has had many episodes in the alter. We are Pentecostals so you can imagine how crazy it gets in the alter.

I can hear some of your thoughts now. "Why does she continue to go to the alter if she has episodes?" "Jesus can reach her in her chair." "This girl is crazy. Just don't move." What would have happened if King David wouldn't have moved? He wouldn't have killed Goliath. What if the woman with the issue of blood wouldn't have moved? She wouldn't have got healed. What if our founding fathers wouldn't have moved? We would all have British accents. What if Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn't have moved? We would still be segregated. If you can't tell, Abby has taught me something and has probably taught others, we always have to move. If we don't move, nothing will change in our lives. Nothing will change in the world if we become complacent and don't strive to change what is happening around us. Regardless of the circumstance, how we feel, or what our problem is, we always have to move. So the point of this blog is to not only give Abby the shout out I neglected to give her at WarriorFest (which is bomb, Perry Stone and Mark Casto know whats up.), but to remind everyone that we have got to keep moving if we want to change the world.
