From Storm Clouds to Rainbows

Thanks to all of you who made the switch over to here.

As I grow up, I am realizing that there are alot of subjects that people don't talk about. I can understand this a little but I also believe that if I know something that could help you, than I want to share that with you, whether it's information that you can enjoy or learn from. I should probably be more private, but I'm not. What you see is pretty much what you get.

Several months ago, I was visiting with one of my children. Without much thought, I asked a simple question, and the answer I received soon became the beginning of the biggest test of my life so far. Little did we know, we were headed into a storm that would hit us hard and shake us to our very core.



Someone I knew and trusted very much, had come into our home and violated my child while I slept soundly in my own bed. I suddenly found myself with two questions, How did this happen? and Why did my child not tell me about it immediately?


The next couple of weeks became a blur of interviews, examinations, counseling, questions and many, many tears. So many lives would be affected by one persons choice and when the dust finally began to settle, there was much damage that had been done.




Yesterday, for us, it finally came to an end. The legal system, when combined with faith and prayers, worked for us! For those on the other side, it is the beginning of change and the hope of healing. I believe that the best outcome for all was reached. Now we can begin to pick up the pieces and rebuild. Sadly, there are paths that may never cross again in this lifetime, but hopefully, all will find peace and comfort as we now wrap ourselves in the arms of the atonement.

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark,
At the end of a storm, there's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown...

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone...

My prayer for all of you.... Please, trust your instincts and be cautiously suspicious of everyone. Talk to your children, don't doubt the promptings you feel in your heart. You're the Mom! It's your right and duty to protect the precious ones that surround you.

And maybe, because of my story, there will be one more mother who will know more than I did, and one less victim.

God Bless,
