More than once I've been shocked when hearing someones story that I thought had a perfect life, only to find out their past had been filled with tragedy. The really happy ones like you, have realized how the grace of God can dim the past and help them focus on the future. God bless you for being so transparent... I know he will honor you by using your story to minister to someone else who is hurting.Genevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495926759125571914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081462564204467574.post-86603002551984408592011-10-10T15:13:02.542-05:002011-10-10T15:13:02.542-05:00Shannon, I can hardly type and see the keys for fi...Shannon, I can hardly type and see the keys for fighting back the tears.

Isn't it something how some memories come back with a vengeance, due to a smell, a sound or a sight? Hollyhocks have always reminded me of my childhood, too. They grew along the barn wall. Good and bad memories, but nothing the likes of which you endured. You are an amazing person, Shannon.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081462564204467574.post-86312417952589068322011-10-04T15:03:21.016-05:002011-10-04T15:03:21.016-05:00Knowing what I know now, about God and His Soverei...Knowing what I know now, about God and His Sovereignty...<br />Somewhere there is a heart willing to listen to this story about this little girl, orange carpet, hollyhocks, a small town ...and violence. Somewhere there is surely someone who will read Your story and see the Grace and Mercy in your life...and God will use you to touch that person, for His Glory. <br /><br />Your story touches my heart, PatPatricia @ 9th and Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786692442689958889noreply@blogger.com
