100th Post

Can you believe that I made it to 100 posts on my blog already, wow!! I know, it is because I post pretty much everyday, if not a couple times a day... but what can I say, I love blogging!

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has stood by me through all of the ups and downs over the past 100 posts, it really has meant the world to me.

I was inspired by a fellow blogger, Tara, to do something special for my 100th post. I am not sure If I will be able to capture it as well as the original author, Tara, did with her Autobiography in 100 words, but I am going to try.

Rebecca's 100 Word Autobiography

Unplanned pregnancy, Mom wanted me.

Loving Grandparents. Tumultuous times.

Addicted Father, passive Mother.

Mom remarried - Drug addicted Stepfather.

Drug raid, Foster home, Mother in jail.

Life spiraled downward. Hardships galore.

Instability. I Attempted perfection, wanted control.

Mom finally left him.

We were free.

Mother depressed.

Light appeared, Jesus - Glimmer of hope.

Moved to Minnesota. Alone. Depressed.

Found guy. Wanted Stability. Very abusive…finally left.

Broken. Hurt. Rebounded, met another Man. Married. Turned from God again.

Felt imprisoned.

Pregnancy. Struggle. Had a BEAUTIFUL BABY!

Cancer discovered. Marriage failing. Ultimatum, then Divorce.

Starting over, Serving Jesus… Taking one step at a time.

whew, that was tough. But again, therapeutic!
The power of words are amazing.
There is so much more to it than just that, but seriously, 100 words... That is tough, with so much to say. It seems so dark, but yet there have been so many amazing God stories along the way, I have a feeling though that now that I am whole heartedly serving God the rest will all be uphill :) My parents are both amazing, and they have their own story to tell, they are both serving God now, and I have a fabulous relationship with them both...

Like I always say a wonderful family, fabulous friends, and a very supportive Church! I am one blessed girl!
God has been amazing through it all. I am Loved, and I am happy. He has been there every step of the way, and although more often than not I turned to my own understanding, he has stood there, arms open wide, waiting for me to run into his embrace. Now here I am in the arms of my father, and so much healing is taking place, it amazes me! I have learned so much about who I am in these last few months, I feel great, and happy, and I am single and okay, for the first time. No more looking to a guy for stability, now I am looking to God!
