Go-Fund-Me



5 January 2019

 

  It was one year ago today that all my hopes and dreams for this life dissolved in one sudden, sleepless night. Thankfully, the gospel of Jesus Christ gives me hopes and dreams that go beyond this temporary existence. This and my precious children are what get me out of bed each morning and keep me going throughout each day. 

  I will probably never know all who contributed to our Go-Fund-Me last year. But I want you to know what a huge blessing it was for our family. I don’t know how we could have gotten along without it, without you and your generous contributions. We faced a lot of changes and major events last year. I pray God bless each and every one of you that have done so much to bless our lives. Thank you for helping to ease our burdens.

Forced Out From the Shadows

  6 Jan. 2020 My mother is a wonderful outgoing friendly person. She was often visiting with someone, either in person or on the telephone. I used to love to walk through a room and overhear her in c onversation with someone because she was usually talking about her children and she always spoke in such high praise and esteem of me. I never heard her say anything negative about me in my life. And I tried to live up to her praise. I liked making my parents proud of me.    I felt rather bad for a couple of my siblings who did not always get the same praise. Oh, I’m sure that my mother loved us all the same. I don’t know, perhaps they just didn’t give her as many reasons to praise them. I know that one sister in particular seemed to always act in contradiction to any of my parents’ commands. I was often quite flabbergasted at how she and I would be given a certain command and then the second we were out of sight of our parents this particular sibling would do an exact o...

How Did I Get Here

                          How did I get here? How did Satan get such a hold on me? I have always tried to do what's right. I am a very faithful, prayerful, obedient child of God. Of course, I am not perfect. I repent daily and acknowledge my faults to God. I know that I need Him. I am nothing without Him. So, which door was it that I accidentally left open for Satan to get in and get such a foot hold?            I recently had an experience with a man that was different than anything I have had to deal with in my life before. Perhaps because I have led such a sheltered life. I am a forty-seven-year-old widow. I never really dated or had any boyfriends growing up. I married at the age of nineteen and began having children and being the best wife and mother, I could be.              All I ever wanted in life and dreamed o...

Never Stop Fighting

            For some reason, I have been surrounded in my life with men addicted to pornography. Maybe it’s everywhere now. I don’t know. Maybe it just seems that every man on earth today is addicted to pornography, but I don’t feel that this is truly the case. We all sin in different ways and have different weaknesses and strengths. But pornography has certainly spread itself thick all over the world and is quickly encompassing and destroying so much that has been precious in this world.          I am most familiar with two particular men who each have or had a pornography addiction. One was my late husband. The other, my ex-boyfriend.              I was not aware of my husband’s pornography addiction until after we married. He brought home a pornographic video one night and tried to convince me of how much more fun sex would be after viewing the video. He told me that pornography was only fo...
