As a child growing up I always said that when I grew up I wanted to be a missionary. When I got into my teens years I forgot that dream and began to wander from my walk with the Lord. After a failed marriage, 2 almost teenage daughters I realized I had really blown my chances.I had lived a life many would envy, traveled around the world, lived in those places. God being a God of 2nd chances, loved me drew me to Himself. He brought a wonderful Christian man into my life and gave me a chance to start over. The Lord spoke to my soon to be husband and my mother saying He was allowing us to be together because He had a plan for us. I kept looking for than plan over the years, maybe this is it, or maybe its that. 4 years ago I had the opportunity I always longed for, the opportunity to go to the Ukraine for a summer of service. I am a silly old grandma at heart. I visited an orphanage and loved on the children, we helped to complete a home for street children. WOW!!! When I returned back home God enumerated all the the things I thought I had lost, that He has given me. I AM BLESSED BY THE GOD OF SECOND CHANCES.
