About Me

Stacey: Pensacola, Florida, United States; I was a single mother of one for nearly 11 years. I know the hardships that come along with that title. I lived a life full of lies until the age of 28. I got tired of running and living that life of lies and was gloriously saved on October 19, 1998! July 7th of 98 marks my anniversary of sobriety. Since that road of healing began, I've been blessed with restoration of my family, a wonderful husband, a mother-in-law who never said I wasn't good enough for her son, and two additional children to add to my already special one.

Pullin' Weeds

Publishing a book is one of many dreams I have. I had hoped it would already be in print by now, but the work continues. I'm not sure how long before I will have it completed; I just have to believe there is something in the book the good Lord wants in there that hasn't been written yet!

The Hen and Her Chicks

By Wayne Jacobsen

The forest fire had been brought under control, and the group of firefighters were working back through the devastation making sure all the hot spots had been extinguished. As they marched across the blackened landscape between the wisps of smoke still rising from the smoldering remains, a large lump on the trail caught a firefighter's eye.
As he got closer he noticed it was the charred remains of a large bird, that had burned nearly half way through. Since birds can so easily fly away from the approaching flames, the firefighter wondered what must have been wrong with this bird that it could not escape. Had it been sick or injured?
Arriving at the carcass, he decided to kick it off the trail with his boot. As soon as he did, however, he was startled half to death by a flurry of activity around his feet. Four little birds flailed in the dust and ash then scurried away down the hillside.
The bulk of the mother's body had covered them from the searing flames. Though the heat was enough to consume her, it allowed her babies to find safety underneath. In the face of the rising flames, she had stayed with her young. She was their only hope for safety, and willing to risk her own life she gathered them under her body and covered them with herself. Even when the pain reached its most unbearable moment, when she could easily have flown away to start another family on another day, she made herself stay through the raging flames.
Her dead carcass and her fleeing chicks told the story well enough--she gave the ultimate sacrifice to save her young. It also illustrates an even greater story--this one almost incomprehensible. In this story it is the Creator of heaven and earth who does exactly the same thing to rescue his wayward children from their own destruction.
