Re: Chasing a Dream (3:47am September 12, 2012):

My naysayers was my in-laws!! My husband had two children from his first marriage that ended badly, but him winning custody. Since I was mothering his children I thought to have my own also. We had a son. I loved being with child. So got pregnant soon after first was born. That was when all the negativity started with his parents and sister. My next was a beautiful girl. I felt I wanted another to be complete. I got pregnant again easy enough, kept it a secret. At almost 5 months I miscarried. That was how his family found out, when I was in hospital and at memorial service. They wanted to be kind during my sad time, but were still negative in their comments. It was so very hurtful. Soon as I was able I attempted again, was successful, but lost it at six weeks into the pregnancy. I was devastated, thinking I could not carry another child. But my stomach never shrank. I thought a tumor. Couple months, still swelling, I saw doctor and he ordered an ultrasound. TWINS!! I was on cloud nine!! His parents were angry now. They were saying we could not raise six kids. The twin babies came early, boy and girl, were tiny but healthy, just needed weight. I was so very happy, my family complete, I thought. But God gave me a surprise with another girl when twins were almost two. I had five children with oldest being five, three in diapers, plus two early teenagers. To end my story, I am so happy to say, I have seven wonderful children that I was blessed to raise and care for. They all are great, caring people with good morals and values. They will contribute much to the world. Had we listen to the naysayers, four would not be here, and they were meant to be. Yes, five teenagers was hard and expensive, just as four in college is now, but I would not trade my choice and God's choice for nothing in this world. Follow your heart, not the naysayer. Yes, we would have more money, but their love is priceless and forever.

When I have been hurt or scorned by someone I can not erase it from my mind and heart. When I see them, the pain is instantly back. So my stubborn heart and brain needs to just let go and forget and forgive!!
I can not wait to read your new book!! I would love to win!!
