Tuesday Surprise…

Wiwohka

And No, she is not mine!  But I am a new MeeMaw…

Meet Willow… my daughter got a new baby, and oh my goodness, she is adorable! 

In place of my normal walk, I get to babysit… that’s right folks… my daughter actually wants me to help! 

She and I are gonna try this mother/daughter thing… neither of us knows exactly how to do family, but we’re going to just wing it… and learn as we go.  I didn’t have a mother to teach me life skills, leaving me ill equipped to be a parent. As hard as I tried, I was not there for my kids as I should have been.  But God is the God of second chances, and He just gave me one, so I am going to take it!  They say that it takes a village, and in our case, it’s a family.  Whether we make mistakes or not, we will still be making the effort, and God blesses efforts.

For me, it starts with being a Meemaw to a Flurby.  I get to spend a couple days a week playing with my Grandflurbabies, so it is playtime and puppy breath for me… not my breath… the puppies!

I cannot express the amount of emotions I am currently sifting through, but they are all positive, powerful, and Divine!  Yes folks, I said it… I mean from God specifically!  I have been on my face in prayer for years over the cavern that has lain between myself and the three miracles I bore.  I tried myself to fix things so many different times, only making things worse. 

As my walk with God has been drawing closer and closer, He has been teaching me to walk where He leads, speak when He gives me the words to say, and move when He says move… no questions asked! 

God gave me three clear steps this last week to teach me some very important insights.  The first was a situation I encountered while walking on my trail… God said do, and I did as bid without question.

The second came the next day, while walking on the trail during that storm we had… not 2 seconds after my prayers of protection from the winds, a tree half as thick as myself fell over the trail in front of me, shattering chunks and splinters everywhere.  I took Gods heeding and went home without a scratch. 

On the third day, my daughter called in desperation, because their water heater burst!  We just threw our clothes on, dropped what we were doing and moved! 

Take from this what you will, but all I know is that God fixed in 30 minutes, what I screwed up for 20 years!  That is my story so I am sticking to it!

So, WordPress… now you know why I did not tell you of my tomorrow priorities… I am in the Here and Now Priorities… Love, Grace, Forgiveness, Restoration and Joy in the Journey!

  3. I wish you and yours nothing but the best and am glad you’re reconnecting. Willow looks awesome and I hope y’all have a lot of good memories built in the future. Glad the tree missed you too.

  8. This makes me so happy! I believe it was last week after reading a post you made about how alone your life had become (aside from your three girlfriends and husband) & it prompted me to pray you’d be able to reconnect with your kids. (I’m not saying my prayer did it 😂 but I doubt I was the only one who was moved to the point of praying on your behalf! ❤️ ) God is so good!

  11. It’s amazing our life similarities. My mother died when I was very young….I feel like I was an amazing mother to toddlers, but as my daughters grow, I have no idea what to do and no one to ask.
    Let’s wing it together…..
    At the very least, our children will need something juicy to talk to with their analyst. Lol. ~Di
