I started this blog over ten years ago. I don't really recognize the woman who wrote those older notes. But, that's a good thing! But there has been much healing over these years. Since then, my husband died a painful death, our marriage had disintegrated greatly by then. My son graduated college and moved to a foreign country. I retired, bought an RV, traveled extensively, wrote my story and many poems too and settled in California. There's lots more to that story for another day.
The most significant change has been the depth of my relationship with Jesus. Not a religion, a relationship. A daily walking and talking and listening relationship. I've finally begun to realize how much He really loves me and I've allowed Him access to the deepest parts of my soul and spirit. The result is an incredible amount of healing, freedom to become the best me , freedom to love myself and others at a deeper level, joy and peace. That last one has been a long time coming.
I feel an intense desire to know Him more intimately, hear Him well, and walk with Him anew in ways I've not known before. I'm on a cross country journey right now, partly to visit elderly family. But I believe this journey is about spiritual growth more than anything. The Lord has told me it's about finding my voice again. Learning to speak out His truth and how it has changed my life so miraculously, thus becoming My truth.
So here's to a fresh new journey. I look forward with great anticipation to see what the Lord has in store for me. And I invite you along for the ride.
Blessings to all.
