I recall that day with Joy. Twenty-nine years ago in a small town with a name that sounded out of this world, Zelienople; I was married to the love of my life.

It rained that day as it is today. At the time, I thought “oh no is the rain a blessing or a curse?” Some may think that since I lost my husband, prematurely it was a curse. I see my marriage and wedding as a blessing; a blessing that I had twenty-six years with him. Now my husband dying prematurally I believe was a curse, a generational curse. How you see things shapes you and defines your relationship with Christ.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; Deuteronomy 30:19

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV
