I’m blessed to be featured at Paradise Praises today.
Here is part of my featured article:
I think of myself as a contented person. In fact, change is often the last thing I’m looking for. I’m doing what I’ve always wanted to do – being a wife, mother, grandmother, and writer.
As a new believer these things were just dreams. I was a single mom working several jobs to make ends meet. I had no idea what the Lord’s plans for me were, only that he was helping me face my past and healing me in the process.
Every day was a new journey for me as the Lord cleaned me up and set me on the right path. Everything in my life was changing faster than I could have ever imagined.
-
Old friends thought I was losing my mind.
-
My fiance told me he would leave me if I went to church on Christmas Eve – and he did.
-
I was making new friends.
- I was facing my fears.
[Tweet “My life was being turned upside down, but I had a joy that I had never known.”]
And now I thought I knew contentment. I would have liked to stop the clock and just stay here, but that isn’t an option.
-
I’m getting older.
-
Our children are grown up and they need me in different ways now.
-
My husband and I are discussing retirement and all the changes and possibilities that will open up.

Hi Aunt Lil,
What a great surprise. I’m glad to hear that you are doing so well.
Your birthday is on our wedding anniversary – I didn’t know that.
I just heard about Ken and emailed with Diane a bit. I bet she will be glad to get him home to familiar surroundings.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a note.
