The Shack

For my last birthday-I wont share the number- my dad gave me a book... Wow great a book right? Not like I dont enjoy reading, I just have a strange taste in books. So I read this book, and WOW was all I could say! It is about his guy who loses his daughter. She is kidnapped on vacation and presumed murdered by a serial killer/rapist. Yeah what a book for a dad to buy his daughter right? Thats what I was thinking while I cried my way thru the first part of the book. About 3 years after this girls death and kidnapping, the father gets this "letter" in the mail to come back to the shack where they found the girls clothes 3 years prior. Kind of a sick joke.. hey grieving dad.. come back to where to murdered your daughter just for the fun of it... So he gets there and I think he just lost it. But he gets to this Shack out in the woods on a friday morning and there is no one there- he screams to god- why did you bring me here. (side note- if anyone ever tried to get me to go go back to my biggest loss and sit in the same room where my angel almost lost her life i would tell them they are NUTS!!!) So this guy decides he is going to leave and before his "eyes" this dirty shack turns in to a beautiful house and God, Jesus and the holy spirit are there. (yes it is aa form of religious book but it has a good meaning... and how "religious" can it be... there is murder and rape in it) SO this guyy spends the "weekend" learning how to forgive, himself, his kids, the man that took his daughter... he even forgives his father... He finds out that no one blamed him for any of it. truly an amazing story. It ends with a good message to follow the path that god leads and not to dwell on hate. now let me explain my self... I am far from religious. I have a VERY religious family. My dad is a preacher my brother is getting a masters in ministry and they all attend church weekly-if not more. As for me I havent been to church in years. But it is a great story non the less. It opens up things that you dont think of day to day.

I just wanted to share my thoughts on this- it is a good read... I suggest it even if your not a godly person.

Breaking the Cherry

So this is my first attempt at "blogging:- So bare with me. I am a vulgar has a sailor mouth girl- so if you are easily offended I apologize now.

So I figure I should start this out with a who I am... So like the top of the page says... I dont like talking about myself... so I will keep this simple...

I am a 27 yr old mom/wife. My little girl is my life. I live for her. She was burned in a fire when she was 2 months old and I have formed my life around serving her and being there for her. She is what gets me thru the pain of the process. I adore taking pictures of her and capturing the beauty that she holds.

I have suffered in my "short" life then most people do in there whole life. I love everything that I do and try my best to have passion for it- because you never know if you will get tomorrow.

So there is a little bit about me... I cant promise future blogs will be so nice... as I plan to vent off on here.... sometimes

Feel free to harass me with questions...
