ENCOURAGING MOMENTS

As a stepmom,I try very hard to continue building my relationship with my stepdaughter(Hope).She has been living fulltime with her dad and me for almost 3 years.A few months ago I started having some "encouraging moments".Encouraging moments are things that show me we are getting to know each other better and becoming closer.This kind of close relationship develops with time and ALOT of PRAYER.Some encouraging moments for me are that my stepdaughter loves my blog. She even has my blog on her list of favorites.She also has a photo of me on her facebook page.How cool is that!! She has complimented me on things like my cooking.She has even written me a few personal letters thanking me for things I have done for her. I feel that God is looking at our step family saying "Let me keep showing you how good things can be".Continuing on the Journey!

  2. I know GOD is good as I watch how the relationship with Hope and Jackie has grown just this year alone. It has blessed my heart so much to see the two of them building a bond with one another. Of course there have been growing pains along the way for all of us, but our LORD has been with us and seen us through it all and I give HIM all the Praise and Glory for all of it. Thank you Jackie for being that positive female role model Hope needs in her life.
