Welcome to Hope

Welcome! I am so glad you found this blog! It is my prayer that you find a measure of hope in this writing. You will be reading my story, simple and plain as it is, God, as He revealed himself to me, how this God impacted my life - turning it from a roller coaster of desperation to euphoria; of hopelessness to the feeling so aptly described by the lyric, "I'm so high, I swear I could fly!" from the musical Oliver!

You will read what drove me to write, about life lived in harmony with God's design (not that I do it perfectly or that I need to do it perfectly) and about becoming victorious over hopelessness and the lies that drive us to consider what confounds and scares many others.

For the people around me, it seemed like I was bi-polar; it was a tough roller coaster for friends and loved ones. Never did I see a doctor about what was happening in me; I had been sentenced to a lifetime of another medicine and feared I would be forever labelled 'Depressed' and then sentenced concurrently to another mind bending drug.

There had to be another way. All of my life I believed God was responsible for people being here - why would He make man's reality so miserable???

This blog is His response to that pondering.

About Me

My photo
Greetings! I am a wife, mother, sister and daughter, but mostly I am a creative and until the end of first quarter of the Year of Hindsight, that element of my being was living under the wet blanket of corporate America. I was dying in my day job. And so now I am a retiree x 2. Yep. I did this twice! So now I am doing what feeds my soul ~ exercising my creative nature, my body, my committment to 'one another' and my faith in the One who has taught me that EVERY -one and -thing has a second purpose in life. It is now time to explore this wonderful path! Hallelujah and Amen!
