New Chapter Yet Again

-

 I am preparing to start my next chapter.  I have learned contentment and I now believe I have found my purpose.  Yeah!  Finally!!

This is kind of a long unbelievable story but I am going to write about it anyway.  The other night I was sleeping soundly and then I woke to a voice saying Aunt Ginny and her rag dolls ,that was all.  Well I have not thought about those dolls for decades.  I all but forgot about them.  When I was a little girl, my dad's Aunt would make these beautiful doll for me and my sisters.  Yarn hair, cute smiles and adorable dresses.

 Anyway, after waking up to those words, I decided to look up patterns, found a  very cute one with adorable dolls on the internet.  I then ordered it to be delivered this Thursday. My parents were over visiting and filled them in on my story as well.  So then on Thursday while at work, I was talking to a seventh grade girl, and saw some drawlings of charactors she had drawn that were similiar to the dolls I would be making but with a bit of edginess.  I expressed how much I enjoyed her charactors and then it popped in my head to show her my patterns and my idea sprang to life because the bodies were close enough to combined my patterns with her edgy dolls. The girl was so very excited about this idea that she took a picture of the doll pattern.  Hers were a bit darker but cute all the same, perhaps even a little more trendy.  

Story continues as my director drove me home due to me having a broke leg, and I had the delivery on my front porch.  I explained to her my idea of working with this seventh grader and she then shared why this was a great idea.  She said she needs you.  She told me this girl had been struggling with dark thoughts and of not liking herself. So much if fact, that the principal and school have been talking to her parents about her thoughts.

I understand that this blog may seem a bit wordy and you may not believe or understand the significance of my excitement but I'm telling you it was a true God thing, a Holy Spirit moment for sure.  I truly believe this was a sign for me to help this girl.  If nothing else to tell her she it worthy and has true potential.  It gets better believe it or not.  We then had kids talking about the seventh graders up coming play which ever child is to participate in in one way or another.  She was smiling so big when she said, I could do sets, I can draw them and work on sets!!!  It may be nothing but is amazing how spending a few minutes talking really talking to the kids, you may just change a life!

The Introduction

-
Have you ever had an internal voice? No not the same as hearing voices. It's like an internal conversation with yourself. I first notice that I had this when I was a young girl watching the Walton's. Remember the one when John Boy said "Mama, sometime I just have to write". It was at this time the I realize I had to do what John Boy did, keep a notebook by the bed. I make list all the time and when something profound pops in my head I have to write it down, if I won't it will just stay there till I write it. I always have a need to figure out, WHY??? Why people do what they do is a big one. I also try to solve things. A strong faith is another part of who I am. I am in no saying that Iam perfect or a holy roller. I just have a real need to keep learning more of what the bible has to teach me. I know I will be a better more loving person by having this knowledge. I have had many trials in my life and I will share more as I go, it is going to take some ...

Creating My Backyard Bird Sanctuary

-
 Sitting on the screened in porch on my deck watching many cardinals.  This started my summer project  of my  backyard bird sanctuary.  Which then took on a like of its own. I proceeded to cut Back many weeds and honeysuckle bushes to clear a huge area, I then sprayed poison ivy and many other ground coverings. I then went to the local garden store purchased a cardinal bird feeder, gathered my St. Francis statue that I had stored at my daughter's home.  I then saw my vision coming to life. My next purchase was a garden bench and a bird bath.  I hung another bird feeder.  I was seeing all minds of animal activities, birds of all kinds but speed of  cardinals.  Of course many squirrels, a fox on a chipmonk which I save from being eaten when I opened the door. But it was the deer family who hugely entertained me.  The deer were bucks with eight points,  a momma and two spotted babies.  I started placing pavers in the dirt whi...

If This Isn't a Sign...

-
When I was in third grade and attending Catholic School, I had a nun for my teacher. She use to always tell great stories about prayer, I loved to hear her stories. They always stuck with me along with her way of praying. She believed in signs and that was how she knew her prayers were answered. She also told us that when ever she heard an ambulance she would say a "Hail Mary"; I have done that since third grade. I have planted alot of things in my yard and gardens and on the back hill I have a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that leads to my gazabo. Many years ago I planted many daffodils and some tulips. The daffodils came up very plentiful but to my disappointment only one red tulip would come up and bloom, year after year, the one red tulip. I always thought of this tulip as a sign that my brother Mark was okay with the Lord up in Heaven. Mark died back in 1979, in a tradgic car accident. Last year I swear I only remember the one tulip blooming. Well, I know ...
