God has heaped more blessing on my life in the form of wonderful step parents, great in-laws, a fabulous husband and 2 spectacular children. Leon and Annagail (Ruth) are the light of my life. They are my greatest gift from God. What a blessing!!! They keep me in the Faith and make me pray for guidance with them and for them. I desire to be there when my parents could not.
Sometimes that makes me over compensate but it is out of love.
One of my favorite verses. 1st Corinthians 13.
That is all for now. God Bless.

life now
God has truly blessed my life. When my dad was sick and we were pretty certain that
God was going to take him home, I prayed really hard that God would see fit to send me my mate. The one person God had created to complete me. I started dating Bryce ( my husband) in January of 1989 and my dad died that April. It was very hard to loose my dad but he was no longer in pain and stuck in a bed. He was free and with Jesus.
My husband is my best friend. We started out as friends and then dated. It was good to know him before the dating woes entered into our lives.
God has been ever faithful to me even though I have strayed from him.
A great person put it to me this way... Sin is when our center is no longer focused on God.
Boy has that been my life in the past and still is sometimes. I know I need to grow spiritually and it is not easy for me to change my ways. Only God can help me change and grow closer to him.
I would like to be a better witness for Him and will try to do that through this blog. Even if no one reads this, I hope it keeps me honest and growing in my faith.

My name is Ginger
Hi there. My name is Ginger. I am the Granddaughter of Ruth and mother to a Beautiful Ruth.
Here is my story...
I was born to 2 loving Christian parents in 1972. I was truly a daddy's girl. Actually wanted to be a boy but God did not make me that way. :)
So when I was 7 years old my mother was diagnosed with Breast cancer. The cancer was already in her lymph nodes. She fought a great battle with cancer... many of them as she struggled with the effects of radiation and chemotherapy also a mastectomy. She lost her battle on June 5th 1982. She was 39 years old.
So at 9 I was without a mother. I was very sad but also a daddy's girl. My dad dated a bit soon after my mom died. I was thrilled when he decided to remarry. I got a much needed mother and he was truly happy again. They were newlyweds with 3 of his kids at home and her daughter.
So they took many vacations as a couple without us kids.
I remember spring break when I was 14. Dad had been falling asleep unexpectedly. So off to the doctor. My brother and I were stacking wood in our garage and got the phone call. My daddy had a brain tumor. Cancer AGAIN. Let me tell you how scary that word can be. VERY.
So after 2 years with my dad being a trooper ... many different treatments and much humiliation... my daddy lost his life to Cancer at 49. It was April 17th, 1989. I was devastated.
How does one young girl get through all that without loosing her mind... God is my answer.
You cannot get through life without God to see you through. I have such peace about my losses.
Through those losses God has provided much to be thankful for.
I have so much that I have to thank God for.
I will post more about those later.
Catch you tomorrow.
