God Wanted My Attention

So this is blogging...wow!  Do I have a story to tell.  Hang onto your seats this could be a bumpy ride.

Life started out very much like "Leave it to Beaver"...dad went to work and mom stayed home to raise 6 children. So, what would I have to blog about if I had such a great childhood?

God wanted my attention and I wasn't listening. Life moved along as normal - played in the neighborhood with childhood friends, went to school, dating heartaches, marriage, children...all the fun stuff of life.

I was a soccer mom and hung out with other soccer moms.  Life was good.  I had a husband that made a good living so that I could stay home if I chose to. Life went on with very little bumps in the road.  Then one day, God wanted my attention...

I woke to a phone call one morning that my husband at the time,was in jail and needed a lawyer.  He had received a "DUI".  My first experience in the legal world.  My life as I knew it would be turned completely upside down.

Without going into too much detail...that "DUI" was just a cover to a "Dateline-like" experience.  No more to be said...I had to get out of an almost 20 year marriage to protect my children and me.  Ok, God...You have my attention.
