I've Been Through "The Change"

I am happy to announce that within the past month, I have rededicated my life to the Lord. It's true. I'm a new person. I thought about deleting out my old blog posts because they reflect a person I never want to be, and I'm embarrassed of the way that I was. However, I decided to keep them to show the true turnaround in my life.

In the last few months, I have been through some really hard times. As a result, I'm going through a divorce again. I've started attending the Christian University classes on Finance at Charlestown Independent Church on Wednesday nights. Now that I will have a truck payment and mortgage to pay all by myself, I need to make sure that I am spending and saving money wisely and ensure that my kids are taken care of.

Last Sunday at church, Jessie, Beth and I sang "Through the Fire". I've never been touched so greatly by a song as when I first heard that one. I was incredibly nervous, and it is a testimony in itself that I didn't pass out when I stood before the congregation. I think we did okay, and I know that people were touched by the message in the song. The CIC Chicks are busy looking for their next collaboration, and I think that we may have found it. I would tell you what it is, but then it would ruin the surprise. I guess you'll just have to be at church that Sunday to hear it.

I want to thank my grandma, mom, Jessie, Beth, and the countless others that have been praying for me over the last few years. I'm glad to be back. ;)
