The Unique View

    Meet Adrienne Thompson. I happened upon this wonderful author in 2014 and let me tell you, her books are outstanding. Adrienne catches you from her first words and I can say, once you start reading you will not want to stop.   Married at sixteen, a mother twice by seventeen, and thrice a mother and divorced by twenty-four, Adrienne Thompson is no stranger to adversity. Not your typical teenage mother, she went on to complete her college degree and to earn her nursing license. She attributes God's faithfulness as the catalyst for her success in life. Now, having raised two children as a divorced mother, with a third fast-approaching adulthood, she is sharing a long hidden talent and passion with the world. Using the lessons that life has so expertly taught her as a guideline (betrayal, abusive relationships, self-esteem issues, witnessing the deteriorating effects of drug abuse), she has created stories that will both entertain and inspire the reader.

Humility is required to do what God has for you to do. Many will not understand your journey. Many will not support your journey. Many will not believe the journey. Don't sweat it., the devil probably thought he wouldn't get kicked out of heaven. Keep your focus on what God has for you to do. Listen to the still small voice. God used many people and they were not perfect, but they were perfect for His will. God is perfect and He will do a perfect work in you because you are perfect. Be Blessed

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

      I am not a swimmer. Fact is, I am deathly afraid of being submerged in large bodies of water.   Yeah I know what they say, you should do what you fear. Yeah! Ummm! NO. That so far has been a big fat no for me.  Thing is though, I love being around water. I love the ambiance of the waves crashing against the shores. I mediate by large bodies of water because it is the place where I feel God the most. I also feel my family members who have passed on. But you would think because I do love water so much that I would also love to swim in it. Think again.  Imagine a riptide. A riptide is a tide that opposes another or other tides, causing a violent disturbance in the sea. So it is no surprise that I, do not swim.  Just had to put out there again. Many of us live our lives in a riptide fashion. We jump into situations and later realize that the choice in most cases was not the best one.  Now we are sucked in, griped, and goi...
