About me

I am a mother of six and grandmother of fourteen and now a great grandmother of seven and another one on the way. I am from a rather large family. I would say we are a close-knit family, in a way we are. However, everyone has lives of their own now and off doing their own thing. I have always been the one to take care of everyone else, the house, the kids, the ex-husband’s business, and I had started out in business at the age of fourteen, selling oysters. I have been through a lot and seen a lot. Some things that were so out there, you would have had to see it to believe it type stuff. I have been told that I don’t fit into other people’s molds, and that is true. I am me, and nobody else. I have been called crazy, and I guess I got to a point in my life where I just don’t care. A person has to like being in their own skin. You’re the only one that has to live in it, so you might as well enjoy it. Life is complicated, and nobody said that it would be easy. However, I have noticed that there are a lot of people out there making stuff more complicated than it has to be. The same thing is true about salvation, believing in Christ Jesus. They have in their minds that if it is simple, then it can’t be true. I like things simple, don’t walk up to me, and hand me something complicated, that makes me want to scream. But over time, we learn and grow, and we become who God created us to be. I can sit here and tell you that I am a writer, a preacher, and a teacher, but does that really describe who I am. What about you? Have you really thought about who you are? I am a child of the Most High God, and I am loved and created unique. I am a masterpiece, and of course, people have called me a piece of work. I am forgiven, redeemed, and chosen, and don’t forget blessed. I have been set free and healed, and I walk in victory. Oh, I could go on and on, but it’s not about me. It all boils down to who God is and what He has done. I know that when I started this blog that I wanted to write about home and family and how to do things around the house, then God walks in and changes my direction, just like a tumbler in a clothes dryer, you know, shakes everything up. I have spent my entire life suffering from depression and mental illness, either myself or different family members. So, I thought I would write a blog about that. But what I want to really write is about the things that God has shown me and taught me along this journey. Have a seat and buckle that seat belt. It has been a wild ride.
