Thank you for visiting my blog. I am a grandmother of 4 fantastic grandchildren and 3 wonderful children whom we have adopted as grandchildren. Between myself and my husband we have two sons and one daughter, and one adopted daughter that we took under our wings many years ago. I was a single parent for 15 years, I have been married to my husband since 1984. All of our children are grown with children of their own. I don’t feel 57 but I am. Currently I am struggling with health issues. I have been out of work since May 2007. Having worked all my life, it is a transition to be at home.
I am taking this time in my life to find areas of ministry and the blog is what I am doing now. I love the Lord with all my heart and since I am suffering from a form of dementia, I find blogging challenging. I became a believer in my teens as well as a single mother. I was going to give my daughter up for adoption but they could not guarantee she would be raised in a Christian home.
I decided she would be better off with one Christian parent than the unknown. Unfortunately, I made a lot of mistakes raising her, but she bears no hard feelings to me. I have learned a lot from her and I pray she will always be in God’s care.
It hasn’t been easy to admit what is happening physically and mentally as well as emotionally now. I have a 2% short term memory right now. I decided to turn it into something positive. I can read a book, wait a few weeks, and reread it. I am being treated for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as the Dementia. I have three friends who check up on me, and they have helped me immensely.
I get excited when someone leaves me a comment. I was use to dealing with people all the time and blogging is an outlet for me.
God has taken me down a miraculous journey of healing and I have, through God’s grace been able to help other women who have been in abusive situations start down the path of healing.
I am now on a different road and must admit to feeling some fear on this part of my lifes journey. This path is lonely for me because I no longer had the daily interaction with the women I was working with. This has all come about due to health issues. I have discovered blogging and am hoping that God will direct those who are in special need to a place where they can find direction.
Since I have always been accustomed to speaking in front of groups of women, the writing aspect of blogging has presented a new challenge for me. I would ask that you have a little patience while I muddle through this.
I want my life to be an example of what God’s healing is about, whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual.
Check back and see if I have added more to this page……It isn’t easy to put things down in black and white when one has been so used to speaking. I am must rely more on God giving me the words to say as I write then when I spoke and well…..It takes me longer than some.
Thank You for visiting my blog…..may I be a blessing to you.

Dear Roselily,
first I commented on your post and then I read about you.
It was the Lord speaking trough you. Thank you for being there.
I can only embrace you in letterrs, black on white.
Several weeks ago I started to read christian blogs and you are the very first person, from whom I feel, it is sincere love for Christ.
Blessed are the poor in spirit ! and not the greek-quoting
doctrin-idolaters, the sophisticated scripture-twisters.
You are showing to me such a beautiful charakter,
humble, meek and full of love.
It is not about explaining and debating the bible, it is about being transformed into the likeness of JesusChrist,
and I pray, even your weight will be transformed and telling his glory.
Love, Arabella
Thank you for your comments, it warmed my heart. I never quite know what to say when someone gives me a compliment, because my self esteem is low-but not as low as it had been. I think with the weight I am carrying, I am embarrassed. I have never fasted, unless it was medical reasons, and I am going to pray about it. I take medication morning and evening that you need to eat food. Perhaps I could fast from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. because it is usually in the evenings I want more to eat. You gave me an idea that might help immensely and that is I will use my weight loss as a tool to tell others what God has done in my life. I do love my Lord, He has never failed to show me love and understanding. I do hope we can embrace each other through blogs and e-mail. May you have a wonderful week.
Reading about your current situation brings to mind why I blog. I have a chronic illness that keeps me resting most of my days. The frustration of not being able to move as I would like is hard to overcome. I now feel God has allowed this time for me to reach out through blogging. I would have never thought of it on my own, I hate computers!
Your attitude is inspiring - I’ll be checking back often.
God’s richest blessings to you, In Him ~Michelle

Hi there wonderful lady. How is life treating you? You remeber me I hope from Brenda’s house. You have helped so many ppl on this Blog so far. I am hoping I will get some courage and start one of these Blogs myself. Those people who commented on you never even got the pleasure of really knowing you. They are not as blessed as I was to have that opportunity. I have only known you a little while but I love you already. God Bless and I hope I hear from you. LOVE JEN
