Thirty, Twenty and Ten Years Ago

Cool! Ted Gossard does some pretty rockin' tagging!

What were you doing ten, twenty and thirty years ago?

Thirty years ago: I was 14 years old and not yet a Christian. However, I was beginning to be exposed to Christianity through the Campus Life Singers. I joined the group with a girlfriend from school, and stayed in the group because I had a crush on one of the boys. :-)

Twenty years ago: I was a highly successful insurance saleswoman for a national small business organization, and as one of the top reps in the country, I had just returned from a corporate sponsored trip to Europe. I also was playing in a Christian band and involved in youth ministry. This was also during a time in my life I would much rather forget about - living the double life as a Christian on weekends, and a wild party girl during the rest of the week. I became highly promiscuous, drank to soothe the pain, smoked a pack & 1/2 of cigs a day plus did various other recreational drugs. It was amazingly easy to live such a sick and hypocritical double life for so long. I finally met Glen 2 years later, and I tell everyone he rescued me. Well, him and God.

Ten years ago: Ten year ago THIS MONTH, in fact - after struggling with years of infertility, and believing God was punishing me for all my years of behaving so badly, I discovered I was pregnant with twins after our first cycle of IVF. Jonathan and Delci were born on May 27th, 1998. This was when my view of God's true character began to change and take shape. I've been on the road to healing ever since.

Now - who shall I tag??? Bradford, Todd, Ultra Rev, Gary & Charlie. Don't feel like you have to get as heavy as I did! LOL
