Randomness

Like most people, I have good days and I have bad days.  The good part is that now my good days outweigh my bad days, but that hasn't always been the case.  That's where the title for my blog comes in.  Faith, Freedom and Football Fumbles, that about sums up where I am, where I have been and where I am going to be. 
*I know without my Faith I would be so lost.  I was taught about God at an early age, but it wasn't until my late 20's that I fully grasped the entire concept.  With that understanding my life changed completely.
 *Freedom, a loaded word. Most people think of freedom as living here in America, and that is definitely a great Freedom, but when I hear Freedom, I think about the horrible circumstances I have been in and how tightly they held me and for so long.  And due to my Faith, that is no longer the case.  I truly have Freedom.
  *Then comes the Football Fumbles of my life.  Being a pretty passionate football fan, it only seemed right to make the comparison.  Imagine it.........4th Quarter, only 2 minutes left on the clock, your team is only down by 6 points and you are set up on the 20 yard line, your team is looking good, and they are set up for the perfect play.  One touchdown and it's over, your team will have defeated their biggest rivals.  You are on the edge of your seat, sweating right there with the quarterback.  The play begins, he has the ball and your favorite player cuts out and is wide open just steps from the endzone, he makes the pass, your boy catches it and turns to run..........but instead fumbles. WHAT?!? At this point in the game? No way. The devastation, the disappointment, the ridicule from the opponent, wow!  Well welcome to where I have been, I lived a life full of Football Fumbles.  One perfect pass after another and I was right there to mess it up.  For a while I was certain that God was just shaking His head while watching me. "Is this girl ever going to get it right? Will she ever just leave it alone and just let ME handle it?" 
Thankfully I was able to connect the Fumbles with the Faith and find Freedom.  Not that my life is all that interesting, but I like to be completely random and laugh at my past, present and future. 
Anyone that knows my daughter, knows that we are two peas in a pod.  She is so much like me, and I still love her despite that!  She truly is a reason to find Faith and live the way I should because she watches every single move I make. We do everything together, from going to church, to watching Football.  She truly is the love of my life.  I say all this because I also have a passion for writing and when I'm writing these are the main things that come into my thoughts to write.  Most of the time I just have a ton of random thoughts and a few inappropriate comments and that's exactly what I feel let to share.  So if you are interested in hearing about a single moms journey though everyday life, dodging bullets, pretending to work and occasionally losing it, this is definitely the blog for you.
