Welcome!
My name is Allison and I’m a 9-year-wife/Lover-of-God/Writer/Brussels-Sprout-Obsessed Midwestern Girl. This is where I write words that God pours into my sometimes-muddled brain.
Last June I quit my job at a prominent non-profit organization to pursue a writing career and a more balanced life. Crazy? Yes. But it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
On these pages I process my God, what he has done, and how I fit in the world he has fashioned. Who knows? Maybe these words will appear in a bound book someday.
In the archives you’ll read musings on my father’s death, the death of my unborn child and the day-to-day anomalies that make this life so interesting.
But mostly you will read of God’s girl who is learning to become more like Him.
I invite you to partake in this journey with me.
With much love and anticipation,
Allison
You know your family has been part of my life as far back as I can remember. Your dad and I went to Sunday School together youth group and bible study at your grandmothers home for fun!
Your story reminds me so much of my own. My husband at the time and I had been maried 7 or 8 years and I lost a baby while we were living in Auburn for a few years. You would have known my mother Carol Gorrell. I happen to know you visited her at the nursing home in Auburn from time to time when you were a young child.
I have a story similar to yours when I lost my baby. Who I will not see till I reach heaven. I lost him 11 days after the doctor told me I was pregnant. Go figure but it turned out I was 4.5 months pregnant. we hadf basically been told I couldn’t get pregnant and then I was indeed pregranent. I was shocked when I saw him. I felt guilty that I lost him I thought I had done something wrong. It turned out not to be normal at all. the whole pregnancy.
It seems that the fact I lost a little boy was even why my husband after 23 years left me. for a much younger woman that could have a child for him. I think there was more to it than that.
I think about him often my little baby. He wouldn’t have had an easy life growing up in my home with his father. I think it is much better that he is with his heavenly Father.
Now God has granted me something I never thought I would have. A Christian husband and two boys. I met a single dad! It has been woderful. God answers prayers in such interesting ways! We have been married 5 years or it will be 5 years in August. our youngest will be a junior in high school next week and our oldest will be a sophmore in college. He is 6′ 4″ and David at 15 is 6′ 1 or two I haven’t measured him for awhile he’s tall.
btw you look a lot like your aunt when she was your age.
