My wonderful husband, Ken has been away for almost two years now. It doesn't seem possible that he's gone, at times, but the reality is truly there and I know he is never coming back..that's the hard part. He went home to be in Heaven with God on August 31, 2007. I miss him greatly and, it seems, that I'm missing him more now than at first...I know that seems strange, but true. I miss his being there for me to talk to and bounce my frustrations off of..he was my best friend and I could tell him anything and he would always had a word of wisdom or encouragement for me. Many people have told me how much Ken was an encouragement to them.Well, life goes on and I want to make the most of these golden years that God has given me. I'm not sure exactly what he wants me to do, but I know I am supposed to write...write what? I don't know for sure. Today I started a personal journal to God, writing to Him my deepest thoughts and asking Him what, where, when, and to whom He wanted me to write. I felt impressed that He want me to start up my blog again. I did and I will write again in this blog space whatever He gives me. I don't know what it is that He will have me write, but I don't feel that He wants the space to be structured into a teaching or ministry-type blog, but I feel I am supposed to just write and He will give me the content. If you glean anything from, that would be terrific. I don't know whether I will be writing every day, but I will write when I feel impressed to do so.
I believe life is a journey..and I look upon my life as a book that holds many chapters. My book of life is really getting thick and there are many chapters in it right now...my birth and childhood; a born-again experience with Jesus Christ at age 12; my first marriage, and the birth of my children; surviving a divorce and being a single mom; meeting and marrying the love of my life, Ken, and receiving three more wonderful children into my life; being healed of cancer; knowing the joy of grandchildren; ministering with my husband; experiencing the death of my Mom, my sister, my brother, and my husband in a four year span; becoming a great grandmother; and life goes on. Most everyone, can identify with some or most of these chapters...depending upon how long you've lived...this is life!
Well, I'm in a new chapter and I don't know where it's taking me, but I'm willing to continue the journey. If you would like to journey along with me, tune in again...maybe I'll be able to say something that will help you along the way. God bless you, and thanks for listening.

You will succeed in whatever you try. I know my sister and I know that God has blessed you in many ways. Go for it-----
Thanks, Betty, you are always such an encouragement!
This is great. You will have some amazing stories to share and I know you will come up with some that we have never heard before. I love writing also and have even thought about writing children's books or a book on different things that have happened in my life too. I especially like hearing about family. Another thing I like is to hear stories from the sweet elderly seniors that have blessed my life over the years. They always have SO MUCH to share and we can learn so much from them. I am glad that you decided to do this. I know that God will direct you......waiting for the next post. Hugs, Janet
Very interesting; I thought this may be the beginning of your story on Geneology; a little about yourself, your mom, your dad, their parents, and their parents. A little on each of you and fill in as you please. After a while, put it all together in a book. Maybe not, we'll see I guess, like you said, see where it takes you.
All My Love, Retha
This is a great thing you are doing. It helps me see more deeply into your heart. I have sought your wise counsel many times. You have been a blessing to me all my life and a wonderful role model. I love your stories and your photos. Keep them coming. I love you Aunt Mary. Teri
