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?
LOVE your post. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Brenda! I guess all of us blogging gals end up staying up late way too much! 😉
Hello, you used to write wodfurnel, but the last few posts have been kinda boring¡K I miss your great writings. Past several posts are just a little out of track! come on!
Life happened and I accepted a few guest posts…I realize this reply is 2 years late. Between my daughter’s wedding and a new baby in the family which I keep full time, my blog has been sadly neglected. I’m trying to get things back going with a new website. My blog will still be available at celestial prescription.com or through my new landing page at acelestiallife.com.
That’s a smart way of thinking about it.
