“If Jesus could turn water to wine  what do you think he would think of us turning blood into water, Family turning against family, no communication, no  love, no thoughts of each other just strangers with the same last name . I find it very sad when members of the same family do not talk to each other. Everyone suffering due to pride and ego. Cousins missing the wonderful opportunity to spend together and all due to the bruised adult ego. Stop getting offended, stop holding grudges. Reunite with your family. One day , your internalized conflict will come to an end…. with or without you. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

People don’t have to agree on a topic or situation to be kind to each other. ( dialogical ethics) and I can honestly say I would not have chosen to be adopted by any other family than MY family! I consider myself very blessed to have been adopted into such a well structured, fun , caring, loving, and respectful household. I’d say we were a lot more fortunate than a lot of other people. we had our own farm,each of us each had our own pets, a huge castle /playground, a huge pool, we went to church every Sunday, attended youth group and every church event. we had the privilege of traveling every year to vacation with our cousins we were blessed with traveling to over 20 states and seeing landmarks that most people will never have the pleasure to see .  I remember friends and cousins loved coming to our house because we had a playground, skate ramp, a game room/computer room, almost every game console you can think of over 100 movies it was basically a theater and arcade in our home. Everyone in the household got along very well with each other we each had our own best friends in our age range. I’m blessed to have grown up with my family and have them as my support system we have have a lot of good memories and laughs together even to this day. I remember my older sister who went to college as I was being homeschooled. We had to drive an hour everyday for months, which I dreaded. My mom seemed to always have a plan and adventure sorted out for us as we waited for her to get out of class. I consider that particular sister very blessed. She was able to attend and graduate college without paying a penny out of her pocket , due to my mom doing her paperwork and finding her the best scholarship . my mom was very encouraging and motivated us to do our best in school and to achieve our dreams she taught us that anything was capable as long as we give it our all. She taught us how to treat people with respect and gave and still gives great advice.  my mom is one of THE most kind hearted, faithful ,loving , strongest woman I know. I wish I was half as strong as her. Even growing up with a big family nobody ever felt left out mom would do something special with each and everyone of us individually and sometimes all together.I had a very fun, active childhood. I couldn’t have asked for better family. Each and everyone of my siblings participated in a sport that we loved for most of our childhood we attended many different activities such as Girl Scouts,softball, summer camps, and youth group. we highly enjoyed it. Even though we were homeschooled we still got to participate in all the activities a public schooler would have!  We were very very blessed during Christmas time,most of my friends get one to three gifts every Christmas. I remember every Christmas morning growing up every single sibling would have a huge bag with over 30 items in it every Christmas morning as you can imagine that was a lot of different gifts and they were all personalized uniquely for us, never the same as another sibling. I couldn’t have asked for more thoughtful caring bighearted person to raise and guide me through my life . my mom is a great leader and someone I look up to you and many others do as well. she makes friends so easily and welcomes everybody is if they’re her own family . My mom is very big on family and family events she was the reason our family from all over the states all got together every year for a family reunion,  she is the reason that I remember  each and every one of our memorable birthday parties. I remember my mom taking every daughter out to Chinese as we started our womanhood to celebrate! she made every event big or small in our lives a very special unforgettable moment she did her best to encourage us and teach us that anything is possible even now as an adult I can always count on my wonderful mom for advice and depend on her to comfort me when nobody else will. I look at my mom as my hero because she adopted many many kids who no one else wanted, many kids who were starving ,many people kids who were getting abused ,and she took them in into a loving caring  home and uplifted them and taught them that they were worth something and that they can do anything that they set their mind to. She never let us forget that we are special and that God has a purpose for our life. I could not be more thankful that Jesus chose my mom to adopt and care for and be the mother to me. I can imagine not many would be so willing to do that but i thank God everyday for my moms obedience to the Lord.  I love that I came from a huge family because a lot of the benefits are stuff like growing up with a support system all the way up until you’re an adult, you have a friend for life and many friends for life.  Growing up with a lot of siblings also made me more forgiving and taught me how to get along with others.  It taught me to think of others, it taught me how to be responsible and how to be a part of a team.
