Turning ashes into beauty

I just finished chapter 5 beginning on page113. Reading through the chapter felt like I had been transported back to February 1990! It was impossible not to weep as I read how God restored my Debbie and me back together after so many years of emotional separation. As I flew back to Atlanta from Anaheim I asked God to let HIS Southern Breeze keep blowing. Even though it is a story about forgiveness, restoration, and second chances, it is God's story for many who have suffered and made bad choices. To be forgiven and restored is truly amazing and something only God can do. Andrea Taylor did an amazing job taking the story I told and writing a book for me. What talent!!!!! All I can say is thank you God for turning what looked like ashes into beauty!

Potluck dinner at Wellspring Living tonight

Changes are taking place at the Wellspring Duluth house where I have been volunteering for over a year. Having my dear friend Darlene volunteer with me recently has truly been a blessing. Many of the precious girls I have fallen in love with will be leaving to other adult women locations by February 8th. Tonight will be difficult as I see this season of my life changing. Now that God has opened my heart to hurting and broken women, I know the door is not closing but He will use me in a different way.

A special movie night with "my girls" at Wellspring Living

Tonight my friend Darlene and I will be taking two of the girls from Wellspring for a date and movie night!  I love having special one-on-one time with each person.  What a blessing to be a part of such an amazing organization.  After Our Southern Breeze was published I kept wondering where God would take me.  I know now that my ministry is with hurting and broken women.  We have an amazing God who is waiting to forgive, restore, and give second chances! 

My week at Wellspring Living

Yesterday was my day at WS to fill in during the staff meeting.  My dear friend Darlene went with me to "shadow".  Every time I spend time with 'my girls' I fall more deeply in love with them.  Friday is a trip to the dentist! 

My time at Wellspring last week!

I'm delayed in updating.  Besides taking my girls to several doctor appointments, filling in during staff meeting on Wednesday, John and I hosted a Christmas party for the girls and two coaches on Saturday.  We had a wonderful time and gave each girl a gift card to Starbucks...their favorite place to visit!  Many Sunday's they attend services at Cross Pointe Church and we all sit together. My love continues to grow for each girls.  Since they all either knit are crochet, I guess this will be my new hobby!

Time with my "girls" at Wellspring Living

Today and tomorrow I have the privilege of taking two girls to the doctor.  This time means so much to me as it deepens our friendships.  God has put me exactly where I need to be.  He is using my past to give hope to these girls who are walking with tremendous faith as they trust HIM for a second chance in life. I am truly blessed!

Staff meeting at Wellspring Living

Today was my day at Wellspring Living to be with "my girls".  It's always so much fun to fill in during staff meetings.  What a blessing to form friendships with these amazing girls.

Mt Paran Church - Senior luncheon

The event yesterday at Mt. Paran Central was truly a blessing.  The food was delicious and approximately 80 people came.  As always, my sweet husband was there to support me and Debbie Kirtland and her daughter Landis helped with book sales. My dear friend Karen Finley introduced me and told the story of how God brought us together as a family.The pictures aren't that good but will add them anyway.

Speaking event on Nov 12th

Where have I been??

I was admitted to the hospital in Sept 2nd and stayed 17 days after having surgery and getting pneumonia. I realized how long it has been since I posted anything about what I have been doing.

After getting involved with Wellspring Living last year, I am filling much of my time with "my girls".  Several Wed a month I am at the house during staff meetings and other days when needed I make myself available for doctor appointments, etc.  Being on several girls 'safe list' enables me to have 1-1 time with them away from the house.

On Oct 19th John & I hosted a cookout for the women and a couple of coaches. It was a wonderful time and our next time to have them over is December 4th.  God has more than blessed me as I open my heart to these amazing women!  Visit the website and get involved! Wellspring Living
