I love the life that God has given me! I used to hate the way I looked, talked, behaved, and just my whole life in general. I always wanted to be someone else. But after I had an electrifying encounter with God, He so radically healed my brokenness, and recreated me to be what He always meant for me to be. Since that time.....from the day that I came to the end of myself.....I have loved being me! No more dissatisfaction, bitterness and discontent. I love my life. I am so grateful to be me. The Me that I was supposed to be all along. What an encounter. What a God. What a relationship!I like funky, trendy clothes, especially shoes and designer handbags....oh yeah!! I like elegant, yet unusual hairstyles. I love looking for the uniqueness and individuality of others. I love to go shopping with my kids. And watch people watch them!I love to sing and pray and write love letters to the Lord in my journal. Watching my husband watch football....now there's an experience. But hearing him preach is even better. I love the way he says my name. He doesn't seem to be a real romantic kind of guy...but it's the way he says things.....yeah.....it's those things that you never grow tired of!I love it when my kids come home to visit and they get up in the morning and ask me to "fix chocolate gravy and biscuits". I get a rush of nostalgia and I'm reminded of when they were little....so many years ago. It's a bittersweet moment. Time stands still....and for just a moment....I see their little faces again. Just little shadowed images of the awesome adults they have become. How can I show them just how much I love them? How much I value our relationship? What an answer to prayer each of them have been in our lives?I love to hear my spiritual daughters' voices on the phone. Pastor Angela?..... And my heart begins to glow. And seeing our spiritual sons overcome the challenges in their lives and grow in sensitivity to the things of God. There's something powerful about a man who weeps because of his Love for God. I love every person that God has brought into our lives and I want to spend the rest of my life pouring out His love to them.I love having hope! Believing, by faith, that the rest of my life WILL BE the best of my life. Having a confidence that I am blessed and highly favored. And not because 'I'm all that' but because 'He's all that!' Because of what Christ has done in me. And because of His special and specific promises for my life.I love speaking an encouraging word into the life of someone who is wounded and bleeding and doesn't know where to turn. And I'll never tire of seeing God's miraculous and life-transforming power at work in people.
