As 2019 came to an end.

I have decided that there just isn’t enough good news in this world.  I am updating this blog and I will share stories from My Unanticipated Life  regularly. 

2019 year end update. 

Sunday Morning. 

For many years now Sunday mornings have been tough. I have posted the song Sunday Morning Coming Down so many times.  Sunday is the day for family. Couples. And when you are alone Sunday’s point out how alone alone can be.  Don’t tell me about prayer. I only survived that time on prayers. Mine and others praying for me.  I never prayed for a man to come into my life. Heck no.  My work, my pets,  and myself..all traveling under God’s umbrella. That was all I ever considered for my life. But Sunday’s were the day that God let me feel the need to not be alone. 

Never considered that there was another alone person praying for someone special in their life.  And a hook up from Heaven was made. 

Christmas Eve last year (2018) John found me on Facebook and messaged me. A person from my past.  Later that night I stood under the night sky pretty much yelling to Heaven “What are you thinking????”  My first feeling was fear, I think, because I wanted to run away from home.  Just disappear. It took months for me to come to terms with the fact that this really was God’s plan.  There would be no more Sunday Morning Coming Downs. No more ALONE. There was the coolest home in Oklahoma with a man that offered everything I ever prayed for. And he agrees to part time life in Texas so I can keep working there.   Because my work is my passion and purpose. It is huge to me. 

Dr Keitha tells me that God has spent years preparing each of us for this time. All I know is, in the twinkling of an eye your whole life can change. 

The other event this year happened the same week John came to visit. Two days earlier and after months of feeling really bad I hit a wall health wise.

It was diabetes.   I got John and Diabetes the same week. I took on the challenge to deal with type 2 diabetes with diet only. I won that.  Eleven months and a loss of 60 pounds later I have very good blood sugar readings.  No drugs used for control. Diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes. Good Grief this has been a year!

I always choose a Word for the Year. Last year I chose it before the message from John.  My 2019 word was IMAGINE.  A word to open my mind to possibilities.  I have chosen for 2020 the word JOY.  Simply because it is time for me to open my mind and heart to that. 

On February 8 2019 John walked into one room of our Bridgeport office to visit with me.  On February 8 2020 there will be a very special ceremony in that same room. 

IMAGINE.
