Twenty-Five years ago not one person could have ever spoken or convinced me that I would ever know, embrace or celebrate the happiness and joy I am living in my life TODAY.
Not one person, not one church, no one!
Am I implying that there have not been ANY mistakes,
hardships or mud puddles along the way? Absolutely NOT!!
That would be to imply living a life half full.
What kind of a life is that anyway?
I have walked, stumbled, fallen, climbed, crawled
and then ran too-where and when I could to get to
this very point in my life. And so can you!
I know with an absolute certainty that without having met and developed my personal relationship with something much greater than me and the world around me, a being I personally acknowledge as my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, that I would not have ever arrived here...inside the very moment of my joyful life today!
Today, I am a wife, a writer, a mentor and, a very proactive advocate in the areas of both Criminal Justice and the well-being and safety of children.
Every living being on this earth has a divine purpose.
"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you,
says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and
not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome."
Jeremiah 29:11
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet
with a success unexpected in common hours."
There exists a tender intimacy between a man
and a woman who pray together.
Prayer is a very special and important part of my
life shared beside my Husband Curt.
I am so very grateful for my life and everyone and
everything in it! I especially thank GOD
for blessing me with such a kind, loving,
and wonderful Husband. I give GOD all the glory!
The Happiest Day & Moment of my Lifetime-
My Wedding Day-June 25, 2011
The day I married my very best friend in this world!
Genesis 2;18
The LORD God said,
"It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him."
Proverbs 2: 1-6
1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Over two decades later...we as individuals
and as a Christian couple, are still becoming...along life,
along love and along TIME literally, in every season that we are traveling
forward together as followers of Christ.
The Continuity of Becoming
I am but a timeless traveler along the paths that I have walked.
An occasional weeping willow in a remote and vast stretch
of land that had once been unclaimed.
I am a dreamer, a pensive weaver of thoughts
and musings that at times appear perplexing.
I am a feeler of the deepest stirrings
of my own emotional insistence.
I am who I am after all that I have ever been,
done, felt, or seen.
I am this surviving spirit with patched up wings
Motherless or Fatherless-.
I am the wind through many trees
and the rain of forgotten storms.
I am who I am on the journey of becoming...
more and sometimes less...
I am 'me".
