How are you?

For years after leaving my church home in thr OC I dreaded running in to people...if they saw me in a store the dreaded question came out ...how are you? It was hard cause, if they really knew me they wouldnt have to ask. Today I was at church and I ran into a greeter who was in the marriage life group I was in...I was wearing my mask, I've cut off my hair, maybe she wouldnt recognize me... I got to the door and she said is that Rebecca and just gave me the biggest hug. It had been two years since I saw this woman but the question never came. She encouraged me and asked if I was in a life group (yes joined a single moms group, Not Alone). She passed on some worship songs to listen to that helped her. She lifted my Spirit when I needed it. I sent her a message after church just saying thank you for the encouragement. Sometimes you just need that.

2022 :)

I don't know if people still follow this blog. I found my old link and password. 2010...last post. A LOT has happened since then. Our kids are 16 and 14 now. We moved to Bakersfield 5 years ago, in August it'll be 6. We got divorced. I fought a long time, 10 years after Dave died (see last post). I'm ok :) I have my babies, I have a job that supports me, I have a home. I lost a lot of friendships over the years choosing to stand by my husband when we left our church. I'm still processing a lot. I was in a different place then, our babies were 2 and 3 when Dave died and I was a stay at home wife without a job. As soon as we moved to Bakersfield I went back to work full time and have been working ever since. I'm thankful God has provided for me, through the pandemic, through sickness, through the divorce and child custudy process which is going on 2 years now. My OC cell phone # wasn't released to me so, if you feel like contacting me you can email or call my new # :) rebeccamillsap@yahoo.com or 661 333-3665.
