Family

Family, everybody has them. You cannot control who they are or which family you will be given. I consider myself lucky, I survived my childhood families and in the process I made a wonderful family from it. A daughter who is grown and beautiful both inside and out. She is currently raising her daughter who is feisty and curious about the world, eager and full of life and such a joy. I am remarried to a giving man who puts everything he is into all that he does. I have a great job and work with kind compassionate people. I found a church that I can relate to and where I feel the Lord speaks to my heart and I have friends that I can open up to that help me with my struggles. I am truly blessed.

As you have probably already guessed, it has not always been this way. I have had several different family settings and I would say that in each there has been dysfunction. Let me explain dysfunction for you as unsettled, unhealthy, stressful or a situation where another person is inflicting mental, physical or sexual duress upon you and or others around you. Yeah, dysfunction.

I plan on posting over a period of time more on growing up with adversity and overcoming the challenges. First Loves and heart breaks. Children and mistakes that we make. Forgiveness. Trust. Remarriage and more heartbreak. Opening up to the Lord. Growing old or growing up.

I am in hopes that this is a refreshing learning experience for me. Lets have fun.
