Linking up with The Gypsy Mama (Lisa-Jo) today for Five-Minute Friday.
Today’s prompt is “After”
Ready…Set…Go!
Defining moments. They tend to occur AFTER something happens…whether it’s an event, an accomplishment, a tragedy…and it made me think of the defining moments in my life.
- AFTER I graduated from high school
- AFTER I graduated from pharmacy school
- AFTER I married my high-school sweetheart
- AFTER my life was uprooted to move to Atlanta
- AFTER the birth of my first baby girl
- AFTER my marriage almost fell apart due to unmet expectations
- AFTER we decided to keep the commitments we made before each other and God and chose to fall in love again
- AFTER the birth of my baby boy
- AFTER the death of my daddy to lung cancer~he’d never smoked a cigarette in his life
- AFTER the remarriage of my mom to an incredible man I’m proud to call my stepdad
- AFTER the birth of my third child…second little girl
- AFTER a grand-mal seizure struck me down at a birthday party
- AFTER more seizures resulting in broken bones and sinus surgery
- AFTER realized I’d gotten addicted to the narcotics I’d taken to get through the pain
- AFTER I went to the most horrible place in my life I’d ever been
- AFTER seven years of searching for a cure while struggling to hide my addiction
- AFTER I stopped praying for healing and the rapture and began praying for God’s purpose
- AFTER God healed me on September 25, 2010 in an overnight miracle
- AFTER God restored my soul and my family
Many defining moments, all occurring AFTER the event. I think this is why God doesn’t let us see the future. How many of these awesome defining moments would we miss?
