A Cup of Tea With Me

After a heart to heart talk with my kids, I have decided to go through the blog and change their names to nick names. They said they did not mind my sharing their stories, but would like some privacy.

The youngest picked his name, and I used a family name for the oldest. I changed my hubby to DH, as it was the easiest thing I could think of.

First, I want to apologize for not posting sooner. I have been a little busy, these days.

A very good friend of mine owns a place in the local mall that sells those yummy cinnamon roasted pecans and almonds. I worked there in the past, before the bookstore, and this is where I had my life changing encounter with the man that “saved my life.” You see this goes back to my depression and deliverance. After Eli stopped and prayed with me, that day, I did not know if he was a real man or an angel. I never saw him again. I have often wanted to give him a hug and thank him for not only saving my life, but leading me back to God, where I know I am protected and safe.

I ran, I hid, but the beauty is that He would not let me hide. He knew where I was, He knew where I was going.

I stopped playing the Sims 2 as much, because I was paying more attention to my Sims than I was my kids, but started playing World of Warcraft. It was just as bad. I payed more attention to the pixels on the screen than my boys.

Scripture started leaking into my thoughts. And there was that song again, “I’ll take you back, always…” I was finally starting to listen.

I turned to God. I gave Him all my worries, all my cares. I quit playing all games. I returned to church to find open arms. I returned to God to find open arms, as well. He will take us back. Always. We just have to ask Him to, and believe in our hearts that it is real.

This catches us up on my journey. From here on out, I will post either musings on the past or new twists and turns in my journey. There are some amazing things happening always.

What an honor! Becki, over at BlogMommas.com has named My Journey the blog of the month. When I received the news, I was speechless. Thanks again, Becki!
