Still Healing

It has really been sometime since I sat down and wrote. My last post was on September 20, 2019. This is around the time a young lady came into my life that really touched my emotions. Some of you already may know I have been taking in young ladies in my home who need a place to live and a mother figure in their life.

This young girl just so happen to be a single unwed mom who told me she chose to have her baby instead of having an abortion like her adopted parents wanted her to do. As I looked back to pick up on my writing, I am in awe of where I was in my writing and what I did in my current life that is in such a parallel path.

Now, my decision on bringing a young lady in my home without knowing her very well is making more sense to me as to why I did that. Gosh, our mind can allow us to do some strange things. I have learned so much about myself since I last shared my life with you, my readers.

This book is not only to help others but is turning out to further my healing as well. I have had a void in my life ever since the life of my unborn child was ended in the tenth grade. Life is so precious and yet it was so easy to end it.

May you find your own healing as you read in my writings. If I can help or affect one life then I will be happy. The young lady that I spoke of actually lied to me about being told she must have an abortion or move out. I don’t know if she did that intentionally or if it wasn’t.

It was a very trying and stressful period this young lady put me through. But I have to take responsibility for my decisions and choices too. I thought I only wanted to help her get her license, be in a better living situation than she perceived she was in, and it turned out I was actually trying to fill the void of loneliness and being a mom.

You see the choices my family and me made over forty years ago have had long term consequences. I see that I still have healing to do.
