LIVE LOVE

 Land sakes alive! What in the world?!! I have come to some new levels of thankfulness through each storm in life I have been allowed to pass through. I have recently cried because of lightening storms that lasted over a half hour with sideways rain and winds, but that was nothing compared to this one. Building shaking over and over, I live on the second floor of apartment building -- had me shedding some tears afterwards.  I was so scared during the event (possibly because I am responsible for two small lives) and extremely thankful to God when it was all over. If and when I can I will post some pictures at some point of what it looked like once the eye of the storm had passed right over us. Let's just say clean up is going to take a while. Some of my neighbors nextdoor, beneath me and beside me have been evicted...bc their apartments have been deemed "uninhabitable." We mananaged through a few days - well, almost a week without power, with nothing more than a little bit...

I can see clearly now the rain is gone...and HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE ... I am slowly but surely getting there. I have not been in any position to write updates like I would have liked too. That's ok. I am embracing some new normals and thanking God for every drop of mercy and grace and going forward that is happening. HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

2019 came and went. Changes happened. I found myself again. Or I should say I found the me that I love and enjoy being. It is more than just a great name, Marcie Mayo. I respect and love her and I am proud of her and glad to see how much growth is taking place. It makes me smile to hear my name again. Real hugs are powerful. True friends are few and far away. Closed some chapters. Began some new ones. Thankful, so thankful for the OPEN ROAD before me and my precious little ones.

It's been a long while since I have posted anything. Long story. Lots of stuff going on besides...moving and growing and feeling like I am failing and hoping and knowing I can overcome through Christ Jesus and His powerful word if only I will look up and call on His name. What can I say? We all get carried away -- overwhelmed with life and difficulties and problems and ourselves and distractions and with the pain of it all. Growing pains. Kind of where I've been. Time to START OVER with posting, when I can.
