Getting Started

Getting Started: The Purpose for this Blog

I was newly pregnant and my husband and I were driving to the mall with our 3 small children, and it hit me like a light in the darkness.  I knew what I wanted to do, I felt like I had direction.  I wanted to write a book about being a MOTHER, and how each of my children are angels.  I came up with the title that very moment.  My Journey with Angels.  I wanted to write about the incredible experiences I had had with each of the children, and how they were my angels guiding me.  I can still remember where we were in the parking lot when the thought struck.  A year later, after a lot of changes, my husband and I separated.  I felt my world was falling apart faster than I could grasp what was happening.  (We will talk more on that later.)  At one point it hit me again "WRITE A BOOK! YOU HAVE THE TITLE NOW WRITE IT!"  I had realized my whole life I had literally walked with angels at my side.  My book was now not about just my journey through motherhood, but about my life.  One day on Facebook I asked people what they would think if I were to write a book.  The response was tremendous.  I felt such love and support from family and friends.  My aunt said "do a blog!"  I set up a blog and was able to use the name that had come to me almost 2 years ago. 

I have thought long and hard, and prayed harder for the real reason of this blog, and I have come up with 2 answers.
1) for my healing.  To be able to write down what has happened and recognize the angels that walk with me.
2) for the healing of others.  Many men, women and children have lived through things similar to what my experiences have been, some have had it worse.  So I wish to write this in hopes of providing light in YOUR darkness, and help you see the angels in YOUR life. 

I will write about some painful things, that even my close family members do not know about.  I do not wish to write to have people charged with crimes they committed (some are past their statute of limitations) and both myself and the person who did these things to me have moved on.  However, they need to be written for they HAVE impacted my life and are reasons I feel I can look back and say "I could not have gotten through that time in my life if angels were not at my side".  I hope you find encouragement and hope from the words on this blog.  I do not know if I will write it in order of my life, but rather as the thoughts come to me of which story in my life I wish to share.  I pray God will guide me to the RIGHT post on the RIGHT day.  I pray he will inspire my soul as to which words will edify and uplift those in their darkness.  To give hope to the weary and heavy laden.  To all of you who face the trials of such darkness, feel the embrace of the angels around you.
