A little about me!

F'ing frogs!!! My life is one big intervention!



My name is Sarah; I am a faithful believer in Jesus Christ first and foremost! My daughter, Zoe is the 2nd most important person to me. 3rd is my family, as screwed up as we all are. I do mean all, so that also includes me as well. I am so proud to say that my sister, my brother and I have restored a relationship between us that was torn by the trials of our parent's addictions and bitterness. They were never really truly present in much of our lives, and still aren't. Being raised by a mother who wasn't 'all there' is very hard to overcome for one child, yet alone three, and not having your father there, and blaming you for it, just adds to it. The only way I can say that we did it was through Jesus, and that is the only way we still get through it - only now we also have each other.



I was saved when I was 13, before my mom took a major turn in her addiction. Before we really knew what was starting to happen to her! I am completely overwhelmed today with what God had Saved me from! In the next 2 years, I would only start to 'notice' my Mom's addiction. And it wasn't until the last 2 years that we truly started to see how bad her's and my father's addictions have truly taken control of their lives and really started affecting ours.



In the last 2 years I have watched my mother and father try and tear our family apart by their choices, rather their addictions choices. Watched my mother's addiction take advantage of all of us and worst of all my Grandmother who is fighting breast cancer, and had to deal with a dying marriage that I was fighting so hard to save, only to be shot down by my husband who didn't care enough to kill ALL his frogs and keep me. I found my way back to God again during that marriage though, and also got a beautiful daughter from it. If nothing else it teaches me to be stronger and helps me make decisions that will make my daughter's life so much better. It helps me be a better mother, sister, and friend, but above ALL else a better Christ-follower!



If I didn't have Jesus back then, I am not sure where I would be today, and especially if He wasn't there for me NOW. If one person can get through everyone in their life being affected and consumed by the most selfish disease, then there is only one answer to how that person can keep going, and God is that reason. When you put Him first, then every hurt and every blessing become clear in the perspective of what He is doing in your life, and what He is preparing you for.



Thank you God for my life! I ask that you bless others as you have blessed me, because without my blessings the hurts, habits, and hang-ups in my life would consume me. I thank you for all you do in my life good and bad to make me a stronger person, and I ask you bless anyone reading this with Your Love.
