RJ's Graduation

 


He made it! He did it! A huge chapter in RJ's life has come to a close. Last weekend, RJ graduated from High School.  I'm extremely thankful that my sister Tara, Grandma Ginny, Maddie, Ross, my mom (Iris) and Lisa were able to be there.  I am so proud of him. Now, his new story begins. To every teacher from school and church who poured into his life, thank you. He's a wonderful young man and I look forward to watching what God has in store for him unfold. God is good.

RJ and College

Image
  RJ is a senior in high school and will be graduating in a few months. He applied to several colleges and received acceptances from 3 in California, 3 in New York and one in North Carolina. We heard from the last two on Friday. He has been given some amazing offers. I am so proud of him. He has worked very hard. One school is pretty much a full ride. It's now up to him to decide which state he wants to study in and what school he wants to do it in. He has a lot to factor in. I am praying for him as he makes this choice.  I want God's best for him.  I love my son and it's been a joy and honor to watch him grow into an amazing young man. God is good.

The Sound OF Freedom-My Story

Image
 The Sound Of Freedom was released into the movie theaters on July 4th 2023. A friend made me aware of it. I decided to watch it. It's based off of a true story of a brother and sister who were rescued from child sex trafficking. This is not a movie you take young children to. I do strongly recommend that every person who is old enough, to go and watch it. This is very real and it's happening in your world. I think it's time we wake up. Why is this so important to me?  Let me tell you a little of my story. My birth dad abused me as a child. He was also a part of a drug trafficking ring. He was also a part of child sex trafficking. He did this all while being a faithful saint and minister in the church. When I was in 5th grade, I started fighting back and slept with a baseball bat by my bed. He decided he didn't like that and one day he picked me up from school and took me for a very long drive. This was before cell phones. He didn't say a word, he just drove. Eventu...

2 Better Than One

Image
 I almost asked Pastor Linder if he was standing behind me at the park when I had been talking to God on Friday. I know of course he wasn't. The sermons today went along with what I shared this weekend. I want to say that I appreciate Bro. Linder. He's hilarious. He also loves the Lord and preaches as He believes God is leading him. I do want to make something very clear. I truly believe that two are better than one. I do believe that a couple needs to work hard to keep their marriage strong. I am not for divorce. There are some situations where it's avoidable and it's best. That being said, if you are bored with each other, it's time to start getting to know one another again. Relearn each other. Work at it.  There was a day that you loved each other so much that you wanted to marry each other. Find that new spark.  I am single. I was married. I am not going to go into why I got a divorced. God knows why. The people I trust the most know why and that is enough.  To...
