It's incredible to think that my son, Zachary, will be 17 on Friday! It's been such a long journey, yet the time has gone by so fast! His father and I separated before he was born. We had our marraige annuled. Then I found out I was pregnant. Zach was so torn apart by the ensuing battle that had raged on between his father and me. It was never something that I wanted for him but I was unable to prevent it. For the first 7 years of his life, we were in court, fighting to keep custody of him. My troubles really started, when I maintained that I wasn't in love, any longer with my ex... I just wanted to be, two friends, raising our beautiful young son.

I don't know why God has people enter your life when they do. I met my husband, the day before my son's 1st birthday, and my ex was bound and determined to make me pay for that 'mistake'.  The Lord gave us strength to make it through some of the darkest years of my life and made us stronger as a family unit.  But it was a very trying time in our history as a family. My son has somehow maintained his sunny diposition. I don't know how but he has. His father walked out of his life 3 years ago when his mother died of brain cancer. She left everything to her grandchildren. She cut my ex and his siblings out of her will. The last we heard, he was contesting the will, claiming she wasn't in her right mind. We're staying in the back ground for now. I told my son, when he turns 18, we'll check into the outcome. He doesn't really care about the money but as the will explained the money is meant for his education. And my son is college bound! We're leaving it in the hands of the Lord. If the money is there for his education then it's God's will being done!

Blessings.
