My Journey Through Life

I was thinking about my perception of my past.  When I go to  Celebrate Recovery  and listen to other people's stories, I am sometimes reminded of things that I have been through in my life.  It is strange because sometimes it seems that they are things that I have forgotten about.  Memories come back and I realize how much God has been caring for me my whole life. Even when I wasn't walking as closely with Him as I am now, He was still there. It makes me think of the Footprints poem - I didn't know it, but He was carrying me! My first husband was not a very good person.  He had some good qualities.  He could be very generous, but only with certain people and only if he made the decision to be generous.  He expected me to put up with many inconveniences - even though we could have afforded better.  We lived for years in a mobile home that was in pretty rough shape.  We talked about buying a nice double-wide, but he didn't want to spend the money on the land or the hou

Happy first Tuesday in December!  Colder here today, but thankfully we didn't get any snow.  Traveled with one sister to Connecticut for my one other sister's surprise birthday party. Trip on Saturday was great - traffic wasn't bad until we got to Danbury...per the usual.  Beautiful sunshine the whole way and a wonderful opportunity for lots of sister talk!  Party was awesome! She was very surprised!  It came in stages...first the surprise of the party - then the surprise of all the out of town guests!  Sunday morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then headed for home.  The trip back was not so good.  Snow, ice, rain...treacherous going about half the trip, but the Lord looked over us and we all made it home safely. I was very glad that I took off work on Monday - I was tired out from the trip on Sunday, I needed the extra rest.  Today was sunny and pretty, but this afternoon it has turned cold and winter like.  I'm counting down the days to spring! Be blessed,
