I mean, I pray to God and we go to church, but I keep it to myself. I don't speak about the Lord, but I do want to let others know how the Lord continued to reach out to me even when I continued to turn away from Him and I continued to do wrong.<br /><br />When I left my family to come to NY, I got involved with the wrong people. Life in Manhattan involved parties several nights a week. I smoked and inhaled so many drugs. There's so much money and access to drugs was as easy as access to soda or candy. After partying a few months, my body was feeling different. I told myself that I had to stop or at least calm down a bit, but I didn't because my addiction to the high was getting stronger.<br /><br />One night after partying, I took a cab back to the apartment I shared with two friends. I could hardly see and by the time I got inside, I was puking my brains out. I went into the bathroom and I fell. My head hit the tub and as I continued to fall, I said Lord save me. I don't know if the words came out or if I said them on the inside. The following day I woke up in the hospital with wires hooked up around me. The doctor came and spoke to me about my drug use. I was embarrassed and humiliated. He said the word "drug addict." I didn't hear anything after that word. All I could think is How did I become a drug addict? A DRUG ADDICT.....the words echoed through the room...and through my soul. How could this have happened? How could I let it happen?<br /><br />After he left the room, again I whispered to God, please save me. I knew I didn't want to be a drug addict, but I also knew the lure of the drugs and my addiction was getting stronger. Later that day, I was released and the first thing I did was quit my job. I couldn't be around those people and I felt that God was leading me away from them. I took several temp jobs and then finally found a permanent position at a new company. I wasn't around the drugs and although I craved them, I continued to pray to God to save me. My family was in Virginia and I had lost contact with them most of that year. I didn't go home for Christmas because I was ashamed of who I became. No one deserved to be related to a drug addict. I didn't want them to see me in the current state.<br /><br />About four months later, I stepped into St. Patrick's in NYC on May 16, 2004 because I felt God was calling me there. While I sat in the church, I felt God's presence and I knew the drug addiction was over. I am grateful to God for continuing to pursue me while I pursued poison and evil. It's May 16th - Praise God! I try to spend the day in prayer hoping that God will save another drug addict whose just on the verge as I was.</span>Dazzled by Diapershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09698808781682569624noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203853713192599199.post-78460416090372521802009-05-16T04:46:00.000-07:002009-05-16T04:53:06.651-07:00Shi Shu Blanket Giveaway<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh1WsZcEPfAemR9mAG0l3ZjSFDWTgGxQojwP7mgfeo7rgeTgZFdBNyERXVZYJraLCpP2srYnN-QfsLoDboK88qZKS4cFVCzobiUNYOmS7rbU-aD3bB82vbusKdz0UY0x4k10LZiyAmHzM/s320/shishuceldon.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh1WsZcEPfAemR9mAG0l3ZjSFDWTgGxQojwP7mgfeo7rgeTgZFdBNyERXVZYJraLCpP2srYnN-QfsLoDboK88qZKS4cFVCzobiUNYOmS7rbU-aD3bB82vbusKdz0UY0x4k10LZiyAmHzM/s320/shishuceldon.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://makingmyamericandream.blogspot.com/2009/04/shi-shu-baby-review-giveaway.html"><span style="font-size:130%;">Piece of Me ~ Making my American Dream Blog</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> has an incredible giveaway right now.

Something clicked in me that I need to get out and do some things with other Moms.<br /><br />We moved to Brooklyn from Manhattan and things are a lot slower paced here. I stopped working and I don't get to interact with my old friends from work. I don't know my neighbors and most don't seem like they want to know me. Isn't that terrible? I mean, I say hello and they sort of nod, but that's it.<br /><br />So I like to exercise everyday and powerwalk with the baby in the stroller. Today, I invited another Mom who lives two blocks down the block. I noticed her with her stroller and just asked her if she was heading down to the shore. She nearly jumped at me and was like "let's go." Her name is Mona and she has a 9 month old daughter. She's a year younger and also a Manhattan transplant. Mona told me that she sees me everyday and meant to say hello, but that I passed her too fast. Anyway, she said that she would love to go a few times a mornings a week. After our walk, I invited her and her cute baby upstairs. It was nice to sit and have coffee.<br /><br />Not feeling so lonely today! :) And I won a Planet Wise wetbag from </span><a href="http://aproudmommyof4.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">Proud Mommy of Four </span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">blog.....so it was a great day.</span>Dazzled by Diapershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09698808781682569624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203853713192599199.post-12863123223098985182009-05-12T13:21:00.000-07:002009-05-16T04:53:47.500-07:00Lonely Days<span style="font-size:130%;">My husband will be back on Thursday, but man have these days been so hard on me. Physically, I'm fine, but emotionally I feel lonely and alone. I'm a Mom and I didn't think I would feel this way anymore.<br /><br />My family lives in Virginia and I really missed them after seeing them on Skype on Sunday. Everyone was having such a good time and although it was fun to skype, it left me feeling very empty and alone......Alone is the keyword here.<br /><br />I've been thinking about going back to work.

I love my husband passionately.<br />2. I love being a Mom even though it is a lot more work.<br />3. I love cooking and don't mind cleaning. Isn't that crazy? I thought so years ago.<br />4. I care about my appearence and exercise regularly. My Mom is 50 years old and looks great.<br />5. I love saving money and using coupons just like she did.<br /><br />My Mom lives in Virginia and even though I won't see her this Mother's Day, I sent her a package and I'll call her tomorrow.Dazzled by Diapershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09698808781682569624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203853713192599199.post-80918924591767404342009-05-09T20:28:00.001-07:002009-05-11T14:53:52.134-07:00The Good Mama is having a saleEveryone seems to love <a href="http://shop.thegoodmama.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=20">The Good Mama's Cloth diapers</a> - they are thought of as the Mercedes fo cloth diapers. Even the resale value on these diapers is pretty high because she only makes a limited number of these super cute diapers.<br /><br />They are expensive and this weekend they are having a sale $30 off $100. But if you go over $100 you get free shipping.<br /><br />Edit: When hubs called and said he wasn't going to be here and he said I could get some Good Mama's for a Mother's Day gift if that's what I really wanted.
