Unlike the male species who claim ownership by marking their territory, after much thought I marked mine by redecorating my nest (home). Anyone who has been through a life changing event like this, knows what a major hurdle I cleared. You don’t realize it is a major hurdle until you feel from the outcome of the accomplishment, a sense of freedom. When you prayerfully do something and you feel real, real good about it, you know you did something major.
Someone mentioned not too long ago that writing seems to be a stress reliever for me. I do love writing and yes, it is a stress reliever because I can get my feelings out and maybe help or identify with someone else who is going through the same thing. Maybe you have gone through what I am going through and have advice for me? We are here to love one another but more importantly love our Lord!
Being alone with children who are teens and always with friends, I am spending a lot of time with God, my own thoughts and on this site. I shut down one of my facebook accounts, Thea Agnew, and started fresh with, Stephanie Thea. I am not going to allow my facebook to get out of hand. Getting crazy comments, etc… Facebook can be used as a tool to witness to others. It reaches millions. So by taking control, it no longer has control over me. Amen!
Life as I knew it has changed. No longer are all my children at home with me. My oldest girl is planning on moving out and then I have my 16 year old daughter who spends a lot of time with her girl friends and boy friend. My son stays with his Dad in their apartment. So, time to mark this territory and make it a reflection of what God is doing in my heart. I feel like I am heading up the mountain and instead of being winded by the climb, I am exhilarated by the growth and healing I am feeling as I move forward on this new journey.
Have a blessed day!
