Well, I have been thinking this through now, for about a month. For whatever reason, today was the day! I guess that is good for me, because I have great ideas, but I fall short many times when it comes to seeing these 'ideas' through. That is one of many of my weaknesses...but isn't life full of weaknesses??? They come in many different forms: emotional weakness, spiritual weakness, physical weakness, even weakness as a result from an experience in life...yep, lots of weakness. However, I have found an amazing therapy for my weakness! I have found that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ doesn't "solve" lifes weaknesses (or problems), but it does create an atmosphere inside of me that encourages me to keep on keeping on. My relationship with Jesus offers hope for my hopelessesness and an abounding strength for my weakness. My prayer for this blog is to encourage others...not out of my perfection, but out of my humanity, yep, my "less than perfect life"! In my biography, I listed the general info, about family, interests, etc. I also stated a little about what I strive for in life. I stated that not all are called to be famous Christian figures, familiar to millions, but may be called just to reach out to their neighbor. I have wondered many times in life, what my purpose actually was; and how my experiences could possibly reflect God's love for me?? Hopefully, sharing some of those experiences and what I have learned from them, I can somehow reflect the wonder, and unabounding love the Father has for HIS children, in spite of the circumstance's of life! I pray that God speaks to those who may read these posts, and that some may find the hope they need to continue in this thing we call life! Maybe it can even help someone to love their neighbor too!! Hugs and Blessings!

You are an amazing woman, Libby. You are definitely one of my many blessings in life and I am truly grateful for that as you have continued to bless my life in multiple ways. We have shared some of life's circumstances together and just by witnessing your steadfast faith and unyielding love through the trials and tribulations you have, unknowingly, changed my overall perspective and thought process on other circumstances of life. I know we all have weaknesses but "weak" has never been an adjective I would use to describe you. You are, by far, one of the most courageous women I know and I commend you for that. You are truly a force to be reckoned with. Encourage? Yes, you definitely have and continue to encourage me. Thank you, Lib. I love you more than you know. Ms.T
