Hey Guys! Long time no posting for me. I hope this finds you all doing well!

I wanted to let you all know that this past Wednesday night (May 3rd)....my kids were baptized. My son was saved on April 24. And I can't seem to find words to express all the emotion that I felt at that moment. It was awesome and incredible.

For the baptism, I invited some 21 visitors. We attend a little country church. I was elated when 13 people showed up. That is the most visitors that I have ever had at once!!!

All of that just proves that God is so good to me, despite my own stupid mistakes...lol

Speaking of....you know, stupid mistakes....????

Well, Wednesday morning the lawyer called to tell me that my short lived ten and a half month marriage was dissolved. I am divorced. I could of fought for an annulment. Beings, the man lied to me about every single aspect of his life....with the exception of his name. But, I am not Catholic. And my church knows my circumstances. Pastor told me that no one would fault me for getting out of the marriage, because he entered into the vows so fraudently.

So, my kids have a clean fresh slate....and I get to close another chapter in my life.

Please forgive my absence....as I miss you guys! Especially, my bro...Steve, Embie, TrustingHim, Haze and The Cruel D. I think of you all often. But, with this divorce, I have a mortgage. I am burning my candle at both ends.
Just know you are in my thoughts.

I know you were excited and the 13 in attendance were fairly jolly but can you only imagine what it was like in heaven? They had a party of all parties when your son was saved.

**I can't wait to be at one of those shindigs.**

Whatever door(s) were closed when you got out of that mess God just opened that many more. Get ready, He has a plan for you that is amazing. Just Pray and obey. The plan will be perfect!!
