Meeting new people came easy to me. I was outgoing and happy and thought the world was mine. I made friends with this one girl Carol whom I met the first day of my freshman year of high school. We seemed to hit it off right away. We remained friends throughout high school and up to the time when I was divorcing my husband.

When I became old enough, in my middle teens, I sang in the choir. Not that I had a great singing voice as even when I hummed it was off key but I am the kind of person who gives my best shot to whatever I am doing at the time. My church was gracious enough to allow me that honor of serving and praising God in the choir. When Sunday school teachers were needed, I knew that that would be a better place for me to use my talent. I always loved children. I did many baby sitting jobs and helping the church with the youth was a much better fit for me than singing.

One of my heart’s desires was being a cheerleader. In my sophomore year I tried out and was told by my bookkeeping teacher, who was one of the judges to pick the next group to replace the outgoing cheerleaders that I was not going to be chosen as she wanted this other girl to be one. I do not give up or in that easy. God knew that this was very important to me. When it came time the following year, I tried out again. This time the outgoing cheerleaders did the choosing. Praise God, I became a cheerleader and cheered for both the Junior and the Senior Varsity teams. Were my prayers answered? Oh yes, I serve a faithful God. It is written in Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. As the song goes “Amazing Grace.”
