How can I celebrate my past?

 

Like many, I have suffered a lot of pain, situations I did not want to be in, and regrets.

 

Without my past, I would not have a beautiful daughter, a wonderful husband, and finally, a family that loves me (Karissa, you are also included). A family that is there for me even when I am at my worse, and not wanting to talk. They refuse to give up on me.

 

There is also my church family that I can turn to. Ones that are willing to talk, give me advice, and even pray for me, which means a lot to me because it is hard to ask for prayers for myself.

 

How about celebrating the relationships with my friends from a distant past or even the ones that I have met in the last 14 years? Making me laugh or smile. I really do not know where I would have been without all of them. Without God guiding me on my path none of this would have happened.

 

If I had done, what I had planned on doing when I was younger, I would have ended up in California. Would I have made it, had a job, or even be alive? I would have loved to put everyone that I love in a bubble and take them with me. A lot of them against their will, well at least against my husband’s will.

 Now I need to think about my future. One that God will lead me, and hopefully, make him happy along with everyone else including me

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the...

Chit Chatting with Neill McKee

 Chit Chatting with Neill McKee Interview by: Jill Sheets J: Tell us about yourself. N: I guess you could call me a world wanderer from Canada. I was never happy staying in one place, beginning in my early years, as I have described in Kid on the Go! Memoir of My Childhood and Youth. I was a mischievous child and a rebel in my youth, but I began to think differently in senior high school with the help of my English teacher and other mentors. I was rather lost in my university days—didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, until I saw a poster to apply to become a volunteer teacher overseas, much like the Peace Corps in the US, but with no compulsion to escape the draft for the Vietnam War. At the end of the memoir, in 1968, I head off to the exotic island of Borneo in Southeast Asia to teach secondary school, an experienced that changed my life. My award-winning memoir, Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah, tells readers how it all happened—a maturing experience. It also...

"Adriana" Review

 "Adriana" Review Review by: Jill Sheets I was excited to get the book "Adriana," by Leslie Hachtel and I could not wait to start to read it.  It was worth the wait. I loved this book. I was hooked by the second page. "Adriana" is a descriptive book and a fast read. I quickly fell in love with the characters, especially the main ones. It was not hard to root for them.  I like that the chapters were mainly short, especially with someone with a short attention span. If you like romance books, this one would be a good one for you.
