Coming with a seed to sow

I was born a PK and grew up being “The good girl”.  I got married young, had 3 kids quickly, and then found myself in a divorce.  At the same time my older brother (1 year apart) died.  I had a hard time coping with everything and at the age of 23 turned to alcohol, drugs, smoking and sex to mask my pain.  Starting these things in turn led to a new set of “friends” and a new lifestyle.  I went from being a successful and awarded floral designer to a trashy, slut bartender.  Making it short, my 2nd marriage ended up with me and my 3 kids in a safe house in AZ for a year.  Finally found true love when I put God back in control of my life and met Mark Swaim.  We have been happily married 9 years now.

I know God protected me from my poor choices because he had and has a better future planned for me than I can hope or dream for on my own.  I love God more than anything.  My purpose in life is to please Him and to be His hands and feet and mouth in this world.  I am blessed wherever I go, highly favored among people and abundantly loved by the people in my life.  I want to share that with others and let them know that a better life awaits them.  If  I say something or do something that touches even one person, the day will be well worth it.  God will take the seed I plant and He will do the rest.
