Dear friends in Christ, and those who wish to know Christ,
Here I am, just about to turn 70 in a couple weeks. As I wonder, not so much where the time in my life went,
but why it went the way it did. There are so many things I really don't understand. Maybe, a lot of
you feel the same way.
I try not to get upset with many of the circumstances in my life, because that would suggest that I didn't or
don't trust God and that's so not the truth. I know that if I didn't trust God, I would not have made it this
far. I also know that someday I will understand, when He explains it all to me.
You see, one of the things I most often wonder about is; “why didn't I have a normal traditional family
life?” By this I mean, the way God had originally intended family to be. I wanted to be loved by two
parents who not only desired me but also valued me. My mother and stepfather seemed unconcerned
and distant. Instead, I was cherished by grandparents, who may have expressed their appreciation of my
brother and I a little too much. As the story unfolds you will see what I mean.
Actually, as I was writing out my story, I realized that there was no way I could include everything. It
would have turned into a book. I really wasn't planning on writing a biography for the beginning of this
devotional. It was a couple of friends and my husband who convinced me that my experiences were a big
part of my testimony and that I should include them. So, I will try and keep it as short as I can. I am going
to fly-over some parts of my life and then touch down on what I think glories our Lord the most. My desire
is to highlight my experiences that display Christ’s ever sustaining grace, mercy and love.
