(*gulp*)!
I was born in Biloxi, Mississippi. When I was about 8 years old, my parents divorced. I moved to CA to live with my Dad and when I was 9 he remarried. I grew up in a Christian home. When I was a Senior in HS, my Dad was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. We lost everything. I moved to OH to be with family. My Dad was healed and I returned to AZ where they were currently living to be with them. I fell away from the LORD and for about 4 1/2 years I lived my own life: Sex, Drugs and Rap music, pretty much. Fought eating disorders, cutting and just the unavoidable depths of loneliness and hopelessness. In 2008, I met GOD in a REAL way - a way I never have before. I sold my life to HIM and HE has given me nothing but pure fulfillment since. I met a boy in 2009 and married him in 2010. For a barrel-full of ashes, GOD gave me a semi-truck full of beauty. My life is not without struggles and hardships, but it is always held together, protected and in the hands of a FATHER who loves me and has a future full of goodness and hope.

There was sooooooo much more I wanted to say but I wrote what I did w/o stopping to count the words until I was finished so I'm excited to have passed the first leg of the blog-every-day-in-may challenge!
See you tomorrow :)
sounds like you have quite a story.
ReplyDeletelove that your from biloxi- i think i spent every summer weekend of my life there! (grew up in new orleans...)
It was hard to share so much in so little words! GOD has definitely brought me through a LOT! I dont really remember Biloxi, to be honest. New Orleans, however, is a place on my list of 'must travel to's in my older age. But what a small world that we would meet by blogging and yet spend so much of our time in the same state :)
