I thought maybe for this post I'd share a little about myself. I was born and raised in a Christian household. I praise God for my Parents each and every day. I have 3 siblings 2 sisters and a brother (who is the youngest). I was saved at a very young age, around 9 or 10. I was at a Christian camp and went forward to an alter call. We moved a short time after that from a pretty small town where I was the "queen bee" in school, and my graduating class had 11 kids in it, to a little bigger town where the graduating class had 90 in it. I did not enjoy where we were living now (I am still there in that same town). We started at a great Bible believing Church. I loved it. But Monday thru Friday I was just like the other kids. I felt I needed to fit in. At that moment God just didn't fit into my school life. I still to this day feel very guilty for that. But I know I am now forgiven. I continued down the wrong path for many many years. I had to marry a man I knew wasn't the one God had intended for me to marry. After 8 years and 3 children, It went from bad to worse. I kept telling myself I have to stay here, the word divorce wasn't even in my vocabulary. My parents were great through this whole time. I was still so far away from the Lord at this time that I was sure he was "done" with me. I could hear my parents praying for me daily, we were living with them while I finished up college. A couple of months later, more like almost a year my sister said, why don't you start dating again. YIKES!! That terrified me. Who is going to want a 30 yr old mother of 3?? Living in the same town again that I grew up in I had seen many people I knew from High School. I kept running into a young man who was 2 grades ahead of me. I know now that the Lord was placing us at the store at the same time. It was almost a month before he had the courage to ask me out on a date. Besides I kept going back to the, who would want me? I kept telling him you do know that I have 3 kids don't you. He had never been married. We went on our first date, I had the best time. My Mom always told me that when you meet your soulmate you'll just know it. I knew what she meant. I really wish I would of listened when I was a youngster. We dated for 3 years before he popped the question. He proposed to me on December 24, 2004. I was so surprised. We were married in a historical village here in our hometown. It was a dream wedding. But the most important thing is that Christ is the center of our marriage. My husband was saved 2 months before our wedding, and I rededicated my life to Christ. We have had our share of troubles sure, but with Christ all things are possible. My life is on the right path now and all three of the children have excepted Christ and had water baptizm. We knew the Lord wanted me to come home, another area of life I tried to fight the Lord on, I had just started a career in the legal field! Well here we are present day, homeschooling and at home just as the Lord intended. GOD IS SO GOOD!! God Bless everyone and Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. |
