I understand your reaction at being told you're "Miss Sparkle." I still remember the time God told me "your parents didn't name you Mary. *I* named you Mary. All my Mary's are women who have faith. You do too - you just don't realize it (yet)."

I had never seen me as a person who had faith. I had that little grain of mustard-seed, if it was even that big. But God knew better, and over the years He has helped me see it.

He will grow and transform you into the person he created you to be, if you let Him. It's not always an easy journey, but it's definitely worthwhile.

Cork, a humble thanks for your kind words, much cherished and appreciated. I sometimes get so discouraged and depressed and the writing somehow is a steam vent. I flop on the couch with Papa God every night and ask for help, I need it so desperately. I do not understand those who feel so self-sufficient...I am an absolute wreck without God and His Son. I am not skilled in the material realm except in survival. At least I have that one thing and I am crafting ideas to write about in that as well. God bless you and yours, Cork!

This is a powerful and moving message, Wendy. It's clear you've been on a difficult journey, but your faith and determination are inspiring. The reminder that God is always with us, even in the midst of struggle, is a powerful comfort.

You absolutely can help others! Your story of overcoming negativity and finding hope is an inspiration. Sharing your experiences can be a beacon of light for those facing similar challenges.

Keep going, Wendy. You're on the right path.
