Hello my dear readers, yes I know, I have been silent for a while now. I think my creativity was stifled for a bit. Why you ask? I truly do not know. Maybe to make myself into something that I am not. Maybe to hide. Maybe because I am scared that if people see the "real" me they will be turned off. Know what? I am tired of hiding. No more!
I am me, if you do not like me then move on. I am wonderfully and fearfully made. I am a strong woman. I am full of peace. I am thankful that God has walked beside me each and every step of the way. I have hid from the fact that a dear friend is moving away and I will (my dramatic side is kicking in) NEVER see her again.
I have wondered many times why I have walked the path I am on over the last year. I mean, really, who "dreams" that their children will move away to Hawaii have babies and you never get to see them. Who "dreams" that their daughter will get pregnant and have a baby 15 weeks early. Who "dreams" that their husband will be killed in a tragic accident. Who "dreams" that they will get a great job and 4 months later be without that job?. Not me! Do you realize that I have only worked for 5 months out of the last year? Yet I know I was there for a reason. What was the reason God?
Could you clue me in? I would like some direction please. I really think I have spent the last 4 months mad at God. Gheesh! is that ok to be totally honest on here? A Blog that anyone can see? Ya, I think so, if they don't like what they are reading click in the X in the top right corner :~).
The Inside of HoneyJodie!
The picture above is of myself and my handsome son, John!
My life is so rich! I am blessed beyond measure.
The last two years have been a challenge to get through (my daughter got pregnant right before she turned 17 then the baby was born at 25 weeks, and my husband of 20 years was killed in a tragic accident), yet by the grace of God I have accomplished that feat. I am so excited to see what is going to happen next in my life.
I am almost...shall I say it? Fourty-four! Gasp...time really does march on.
I have raised two children, a son 24 and a daughter who is 19. My son, John lives in Hawaii with his wife, Alisa, and their two boys, Stephen 2 and Preston almost one year, they are pregnant with number 3.
My daughter Jennifer, and her husband Heath, along with Storie their daughter (two in July) currently live in Red Oak, which is just a hop and a skip away.
I have two step-daughters, Sabrina and her husband Dustin and their 3 year old Sydney and Maranda with her two year old Abbigail.
I have many spirtual children (meaning I adopted them by saying they are mine) and lots of surrogate grandchildren.
