Journey to Freedom - Part 2

My journey to freedom continued into July. Sunday July 2nd, my Pastor preached on getting out of Egypt. Well, I was ready. Enslaved by the job, I was looking for Moses. Monday, work was difficult to say the least. Then in a fit of inspiration and desparation, I had an idea. I wrote my 'Proposal for the Freedom of Patricia Carroll.' I figured out how long we could last if I quit working and wrote. My entire life I have been like a pinball in a pinball machine. And it's been a good life, but I have never gone after something. I wanted to go after writing. Pursue it full time. I gave my proposal to my sweet husband but he didn't read it until July 4th. That morning, he came in and told me if I wanted to go for it - to do it. Hooray. My independence day was July 4th. God is so good. And He confimred the decision that very day. When I went to my Email. I saw one from someone. ( I don't know them or support them and they surely don't know me.) In the subject line it said - and she's off. Amazed I opened it and saw that they were talking about the Space shuttle Discovery, which launched the morning of July 4th - just like me. In the body of the email it went on to say -- Remember this whenever you wonder if your dreams are possible. You bet they are! Praise the Lord - He is good and his goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. So now I am free. And have been organizing and writing. I have over 24,000 words on the book I am writing. And Monday will start week 3 of my freedom and discovery. Praise the Lord.

Hey Patty, when I revamped my blog for my pen name, I lost the links to my friends' blogs, and I haven't been around in a while. Interesting story. I'll look forward to seeing what becomes of your freedom. :-)
