Hello and God Bless! My name is Lynnette and it's an honor to meet you! My husband and I live in Canton, GA, about 45 minutes north of Atlanta. I am a stepmom to a wonderful 19-year-old. We have been a blended family for 15 years. We attend Oak Leaf Church in downtown Canton. We love the Lord and strive to put Him first in our daily walk. Our road as a blended family has not been easy at times, but we continue to pray and love. When troubles come knocking blessings are ten-fold just around the corner! We would love to contribute our experiences, blessings, trials, and encouragement to other blended families who need lifting up. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We can get through the challenges of life by listening to others and in turn guiding others.

Sweet Lord Jesus, we eagerly await your answers. We remain hopeful in the waiting. We remain dedicated to your Will.
www.bible.com/296/isa.43.19.gnbMy Mom is a widow, and it is my responsibility to care for her. Asking for prayer and the Lord’s guidance as we take on this duty. We will do it with love, grace, and lots of prayer!

www.bible.com/296/rom.12.10.gnbWhen we face interaction with difficult people, we have a choice to make. We can be difficult right back, or we can show grace, humility, patience, and kindness. I have been practicing this more in the last month. It feels refreshing and downright joyful to see the change in people when we show them compassion and smile instead of reflecting their pain.
www.bible.com/296/php.2.5.gnbAfter the many grueling months of silence, the Lord is revealing his plan, step-by-step. He hears us! He hears those pleas of guidance in the dark night. He hears you as you pace and pray. He shows us each step when we are ready to receive it.
www.bible.com/296/1jn.5.14.gnbMy blog started out as a place simply for stepparents to come together and read stories of encouragement. Although that is still my main focus, I realize a greater need for so many around the world to hear the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. I appreciate each one of you and I hope my posts bring you some joy. How can I pray for you today?
We can’t hide any of our thoughts from the Lord. He knows our true intentions.
