A Little Bit About Me

When God was handing out our earthly assignments, I must have been quite the little over-achiever spirit, bouncing around with my hand held high taking on all that my arms could hold. What I probably didn't know is that it would take nearly half a century to get through most of the work that I signed up for. I sometimes wonder why God allowed a little ole me to be so greedy. I mean, why didn't He just slap my hand down and say, "Enough, daughter; you're taking on too much"? Surely He knew that being born into a family that would reject me would hurt...He must have known that being raped between the ages of seven and eight years old would set my life up for years of hardship...and He must have known that the many strolls that I took through hell during the course of my marriage would nearly suck the life out of me. He knew. Or maybe the scenario that I described isn't the way that it happened at all. Maybe the reason why He gave me such a huge assignment is because He knew that there'd be a shift in my life that would direct me to my identity. Knowing who I am helped me to better understand the why behind every heartache and heartbreak. Knowing who I am is why I'm very candid and raw about the pain that I had to endure. I understand now that it was necessary and all a part of a loving Father's plan. I hope that you stick around; I have so much to share with you. Let's stay connected.
