Changes

It's been a few years since I've sit down and written on a blog. I began blogging in 2008 while homeschooling my three daughters. My previous marriage of 23 years took a turn for bad and I divorced. My life was so hectic and unstable that I was unable to keep up with a blog. Honestly, I was not able to keep up with life. I was sort of sucked into this tornado and I stormed through the last couple of years. There were times I wondered if I live or if I would die. Each day was a struggle. My desire to live was gone because the pain I felt was so strong. Pain from my past, pain from my actions, and pain from inflicting pain on others. That is the hardest to overcome. Knowing that my actions hurt those I love so deeply.

Life goes on whether we choose to or not. I finally landed back on my feet and I am recovering from the storm. I have since remarried to a wonderful, caring, sensitive man. The Lord has kept me in the palm of His hand through it all. No matter how far I ran He never let go. He protected me in spite of myself. He loved me when no one else could. He loved me when I couldn't even love myself.

I am thankful for His love. Thankful for His forgiveness. Thankful that I have been able to forgive myself. Thankful for new beginnings. I hope and pray that those I've hurt can find it in their own hearts to forgive me one day.

So this blog, this blog continues Jenileigh's Journey. And I give all the praise and glory to my Father for giving me strength to continue this journey.

I am blessed and highly favored.

Life is a beautiful thing.

I hope to bring honor to my Father and to those around me. Honor to my husband. Honor to my family. Honor to my friends.

No more looking back. It is all forward from here.

I have my whole life ahead of me and I have set goals. I can't wait to share them here.

It feels good to breathe fresh air.

It feels good to smile.

It feels good to be writing again.
