What a weekend..........

I had so much running wround that I couldn't find the BREAKS........ Finally I am sitting here at my comfy computer realizing that I didn't post this week really.... So here I go.. Well lets see Church was great today. And I was excited because my best friends parents came. I have touch so many with my strength and stories that they want to come to the church that has gotten me here. I have like 12 people coming to FRC because of ME. How cool is that??
Then Pastor Troy talked about getting unwanted gifts. Well we can all say that we have gotten the SOCKS and UNDERWEAR in our lives.I remember this sweater my mother got me. It was purple but it was UGLY... I never wore it even though it was my favorite color. But what Pastor Troy had said total made it all make sense to me. I mean he ALWAYS know how to just drill it in your head so you get... It is amazing... So todays service was about the unwanted gifts in the pretty box. Here is my version of it...

A few years ago, I met my ex-husband promised me the perfect life and acted as if he were the perfect man. But then the ink dried on the marriage certificate. Baby 2 was on the way and HE changed. Some people say that they are going through hell. I lived smack dab in the middle of it. Well now he is my EX-husband. I meant TILL DEATH DO US part. But I loved myself to much to live in hell with SATAN. So back to the service.

We get gifts we wanted so much. Opened the box and it was not what we thought it was. It was an unwanted gift.
I though the marriage would be like he promised. But inside the box was something I didn't want or expect.

But the one thing that stuck with me today that Pastor Troy said is that you get the unwanted gifts to prepare you for the one you really wanted.

I would not be where I am today had I not gotten married. I would not appreciate all that I do have had I not gotten married. I wouldn't have the strength and courage that I have today had I not gotten married. The list goes on and on. I have to go through the emotional stress, finacial stress, and every other stress that I go though for the real gift. I would never have gotten this close to God if I missed out on the unwanted gift. I am thankful for the things I went though to get me to WHO I AM today. Yes, being a divorce mom of 3 is extremely hard It is by no means an easy road. But I am finally HAPPY with who I am. Hopefully one day sooner then later the real gift I wanted would come along... But for now I will wait and be thankful for the gifts I do have in my life....

Man I can ramble on about church. LOL

Well that is it for today... I gotta take a little nap I got some stuff to get done to night...

Leave a comments so I can see if anyone even reads this.

TTFN,
