In today’s daily vlog, I show a before and after of taking Vyvanse and share how much of a difference this medication makes in my day. I also open up about my current struggles with reading the Bible, resting in God’s grace, and how thankful I am for a relationship with Him and having His Spirit (touching on the Acts 2:38 plan of salvation). Plus, taking time to nap and stepping outside for some fresh air.

📖 Scriptures of the Day:
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. — James 1:17
&
"Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [a]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." — Acts 2:38

Hi, I’m Grace. 🌿 I’ve been navigating severe chronic illness since childhood, including ME/CFS and Narcolepsy Type 1 with severe cataplexy. This channel is my video diary—real, unfiltered, and honest. I share everything from brain fog and medication trials (like Xywav) to the mental health impact of chronic illness.

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." — Romans 12:12
