My kids

I have a son who's name is Stephen. Stephen is 18 yrs old and has som mental issues. But I can tell you this much about him. He is an awesome young man and I wouldn't change the circumstances for the world. He has 3 families that love him and want what's best for him.

I personally haven't seen Stephen since he was 2 yrs old. I had a lot of unhealthy things going on in my life and things that I felt personally that I could deal with him in my life. But the system thought otherwise. Now I realize that it was a good thing. Because, if it wasn't I am not sure what it would be happen if he was in my life.

The prayers of a mom and dad are important in any child's life even if they aren't apart of it. I pray daily for him as well as his sister, Amber who is an adult and is grown.

Both my children are miracle kids. Amber had a grapefruit size whole in her heart and was healed. Stephen had breathing problems and was underweight when he was born and was flown to Milwaukee Children's Hospital at 2 days old and he was healed.

So to say I was blessed is an understatement . But I didn't realize that til here lately.

I have spent my quiet time with the Lord and He has shown me all the goodness that these 2 kids have and what He has instore for each of them.

Stephen loves Jesus and has been on mission trips with his church. Both his adoptive parents and I know and have noticed his love for Jesus.

So remember each and every day when your children aren't with you is to say a prayer for them and ask God to use them mightly.

Past is forgiven

Went walking today with some good friends. Then on the way back my friend, Teresa and I were talking and as we were talking I saw these ghost in the trees like they were carved in each tree. 

They were many ghost. Ghost of gluttony, hate, stubbornness (which is something most of us deal with), Jealousy were some. There were also some personal ghost like a ghost of self-esteem ( which is one of the big one for me), Self guilt (feeling guilty about everything).

As were walking, I started praying after seeing all these ghost and asking God why he was showing me all these ghost.

He told me these are ghost of the past and those that have been before you here lately. He also told me that they have been forgiven and that if I follow the lead and the wisdom of those that He will put around me that I will see his blessings and that even in the little He will continue to bless me as long as I will listen to the wisdom.
