As I reflect on my life, I realize my path has been paved by many tears, hard work, and pressures along the way. Each experience has served a purpose, because I use the pain to my own advantage.......

I have been in a constant state of transition for 2+ years, as it has been a season of starting over for me....... something that still leaves me speechless.

I am so very grateful for the friendships and support I've had and have been finding. I could never do this alone. Today I was told by a new friend I would least expect that "many are glad I'm here," my whole day brightened. These were the exact words I needed to hear.

As I continue to take strategic risks here and back home, the launching of my blog House of Secrets will now be host for our transition to our new name for the Memory Page. We have outgrown the FB space and in order to open this group again, I will be writing under the heading:

"Finding Fortunes"

And I will be expounding on the "secrets" and reasons I chose this title:)
I am also expanding into new territory and using my blog to do so. I am establishing what I am calling a coast to coast prayer network, in a strategic effort to reach the younger generations with a message of hope and a future.

They DO have something to live for.... a purpose under heaven to find and fulfill, and I HAVE to do something.

So, I am choosing to use our loss for this greater purpose and with this in mind, I am launching "Jacob's Well" as our coast to coast connection. More details to follow........

April is bringing a vision for our mission. Join us. Goodnight and Love.

The month of March is coming to an end, marking my six month stay in the South Bay. April is quickly on its way, with my sights set on an unfolding vision...... It seems we are on a MISSION.

My search for housing options will begin shortly, so planning to look for the coming future. Switching health insurance is almost complete which was a bit daunting initially. As one thing comes to an end, there is another insurance policy coverage to work through. I hate it.

The changes came as a result of my husband's death but now an outcome of my relocation process. Even if I'm here for an undisclosed length of time, certain steps much be taken. I'm deciding rather than to see things as one big overwhelming load, I am taking a piece at a time, and when I can handle it.

The plan for my sister's family to move in and enjoy my house and community has been in place for 8 months. Their home in Bowmansville outside of Lancaster County has recently sold in the last week which is part of their process in moving forward from grief. I love it when a plan comes together:)

As I prayed today asking God to continue to "fund" my ability to be here, I looked up and noticed the license plate ahead of me. It said JUDEAH which is a form of the name Judah and means Praise. It was confirmed to me that my praise of the God in heaven, in spite of my circumstances, is the way my "economy" will change......

Two days ago after making the same request of the Lord, we sold a few tools of my late husband's, totaling a few hundred dollars. With bills due and needs to meet, I find as I make my specific request, I am somehow always blessed. Jordan's cavalier was sold today as well, all in time for his new move into the MISSION DISTRICT.

Chynna completed two big days of reffing in L.A., while Logan and partner Lucas played their first CBVA game. Very windy day at the beach which dictates the plays of the game, but was a great learning experience. We think of the many years playing grass doubles back east, in all kinds of elements. The elements prepare you for anything...............
