I am married with three children. I am a Christian woman who has lived a Hell of a life. For many years I lived for myself only putting no one before me except my child. I was selfish and self absorbed. I did what I wanted regardless of how it may have affected those around me. I did things that were wrong and that I am ashamed of and I am SO THANKFUL that God did not give up on me. I was raised in a strict Christian home and I am also very thankful of that, although, at the time, all I wanted to do was get out on my own away from all the rules, restrictions and religion.
Throughout the years I found it very hard to be satisfied or content with what I had or where I was in my life. I faulted my father, while growing up, for not being more aggressive in his career. I never understood why he didn’t desire “more” out of life. He had a good job, made good money and we didn’t even have cable. Then I was on my way home one Sunday morning having been at the club the night before and I realized; it was not that my Dad had a lack of gumption or initiative. He was “content”, happy and at peace with his life, something I had never felt. I had experienced moments of this sentiment but nothing permanent or semi-permanent. Driving down the road, I began to do something I never did. I began to pray. I prayed for peace and contentment. I asked God to bless my life with the contentment I had witnessed in my father's life and that’s when everything in my life began to change. I can now share testament after testament of how God has blessed me and worked in my life which is why I created this blog. I want to share with anyone who my life could possibly bless. I am no Saint and I continue to struggle each day with trials still living within me but if I can help ONE person from traveling the roads which I’ve taken, then I will have succeeded in my purpose.
