Yesterday.... seems as though it has just slipped away as the promise of tomorrow comes rushing in. I remember as a young child singing "It Took A Miracle" to my grandmother, certain that I would someday be an amazing gospel singer. I so loved the feeling that welled within as each word spilled from my soul. As I grew older, dreams changed....in my early teens I became enamoured with flying; certain that I would become the first female airline pilot. There was nothing that could possibly compare to taking flight, soaring above the clouds almost touching heaven.
Although I still love to sing, these days I only perform in the shower or with a freeway audience. As it turns out, I can't hold a note, but I still love that song. As for my love of flight, it remains; but I chickened out when it came time to solo. No solo, no license, no first female airline pilot.
Even though life hasn't turned out the way I had imagined, it has been an amazing journey to this point. I have experienced immense joy, great love, devastating lose and every emotion in between. I have three children and four wonderfully imaginative grandchildren to share in my life. I have my family, my faith and my friends, as well as a growing understanding and passion for life. I am thankful each and every day for my strength and trust in God. My God is an awesome God.
He lives.......and with each passing day my faith and belief grows stronger. He has walked with me, never having given up and kept singing to my soaring soul....until I could hear that small still voice.....
