That is eye opening, challenging, life changing for me. I will hear that phrase ringing in my ear always, “Life Resume”. Our churches motto is Every Story Matters and I like this blog because it even takes that deeper for me. It brings the personal revelation God has given me about why peoples stories matter to a whole new level. Thank you for sharing, for allowing God to down load to you an incredible revelation. For allowing him to give you His eyes, his filter for seeing others.

Blessings,
Bonnie Ruth Rolf

OK … so I know you’ve already heard me go on and on to you about this blog already … but seriously BABS!!! I echo the masses … one of my favs. There is an anointing on this piece because it is penned by the Holy Spirit but through your life. You can’t conjure that kind of revelation up … it’s so HIM!

My fav. part I learned from this is your willingness to go to your husband with selfless love … I know you won a piece of His heart through your apology that is priceless. It inspired me to ask the Lord how I could be more compassionate as I try on the shoes of my Mister though I may never have to walk in them:)

Love the Jesus Juice that comes out of YOU!
Great Love! ~Ris

I am a few days behind but I had to comment…you just described MY life. I have been so wrapped up in my own heartaches/ups and downs the last few years it is a CONSTANT effort to look upon others. I expect people to say wow what a road but I have been so guilty of returning the sentiment. I am so thankful to you for putting this on paper and for reminding me that no one else has a “fantasy” life.

Great word! I try to always remember that their is no such thing as a perfect life! No matter how things seem, everyone has their past and their present troubles. I’m thinakful that I have a resume that helps me to give grace to others.

Abandonment and Divorce wasn’t created by God and so no one ever really adapts. They are scars left in our hearts forever. Thankfully with God, He helps us heal and break those chains in our own lives!

That was beautiful Babs. It has been such a joy to see you grow from a little girl to the beautiful young Christian woman you are today. I have seen such growth in you over the years. It shows we can learn something from the Lord each and every day of our lives. We never know what we are going to face each day but we know who holds each day in his hands. I try to have mercy and see the good in people. As you said we never know what someone has gone through or is going through only they and God knows. You have such insight I know it comes from God.

Love, Aunt Barbara

Babs, That was so beautiful, thought provoking and truthful that I cried when I read it. You have a true gift from the Lord with words, my youngest daughter, and I know many people benefit from your God given wisdom and insight. It makes me want to think about my own “Life Resume”, but mostly it makes me want to think about my wonderful husband’s “Life Resume” What things happened to cause the reactions he has to certain things? I know some, but not all, and I sometimes don’t understand the ones I do know. You are a blessing to my life, and to the lives of all you touch.
Love, Mom

Honestly I’m having a hard time writing a comment because that was SO good! Anything I say sounds stupid at this point so I’ll just say. . . Thanks for the great word of truth! I loved the picture of the “life resumes”! Powerful word Babs!

I have been that someone who was passed off as a hopeless case. Then, I took a baby step of faith toward trusting Father, and when I gave Him permission, the Lord came and made something new of my ashes. (Or at least the ones I have given Him so far.) So grateful that He makes all things beautiful in His time…piece by piece and layer by layer. There may still be a little soot at the bottom, but He’s gonna hold my hand while we clean up the mess together, and I’m grateful that He’s not in a hurry!

How wonderful and beautiful you are, dearest daughter. As Anthony’s mother, I knew what sorrow was in his heart…and how helpless he felt in the face of seeing his girls infrequently. The grace you have shown in letting your heart open to his own inner pain in this area…to embracing his pain, his own personal sorrow beyond what you could know. God has given you a gift, one of a loving heart and the courage and grace to write from your soul. You are a joy and a blessing to my son, to my granddaughters and to me. Love you, Mom
