When I met my spouse twelve years ago we each had two children. Ranging from ages seven to twenty-two years of age. We both had complicated pasts, however based on our Christian beliefs we were we confident our future as man and wife held promise. On the other hand 'red flags' presented themselves during our time of courting, waving extravagantly warning us of the storms ahead.
The children pretended to be happy for us, however deep down they were all terrified. All presented some form of acting out prior to our marriage and during the first five years of our marriage. The stories would take the rest of my life time to describe! Our faith was often wavered, but Gods grace and merci held us up. We landed up in pastoral counseling, family counseling, individual counseling, bible studies, alanon meetings, co-dependency groups, AA meetings, church hopping, and more.
After the death of a son I am considered a 'suicide survior'. Parking my grief has not been an option. I endure the intense adjustments, with faith in Christ. Over time my imagination has been fired with creative past times. God has a way of keeping me in the 'present'. Passing on some of my doll collections has been interesting. I have created handsewn backpacks and purses. This is huge, as sitting still is not my forte. Please step out and follow Colorurdaze. Thank you reader.
