A Seaman’s Wife Speaks Up

I rave, rant, speak, sigh…. letting the world know the thoughts that run loose inside my mind. This seaman’s wife just wants to speak up!

Stories that Weave My Life December 9, 2008

I am me, nothing more, nothing less.


I think for myself, decide for myself and speak for myself. If I agree, I say so. If I don’t, I say so or just go my way and leave no trace at all.


I don’t necessarily want everyone to agree with me or take my side on issues because basically, they are just issues to contend with — to face as a demon to be fought or an eye opening saga which would ultimately lead to betterment of the self.


I don’t do things because it’s the “in” thing. I do everything for a friend but never to the extent of losing my self respect and losing perspective of the things I believe in.


I wage my own war and fight it to the finish knowing there is no other way for the war to be won.


I stand for my ideals no matter how feeble they may appear to others because they’re an extension of the person that I am.


I may not be the best Christian… it’s arrogance to do so for only God can rightfully judge my faith. But I believe in a God who is just and fair. And I believe that only God brings to me those blessings which are my fair share.


I couldn’t boast of anything for they aren’t mine — they’re blessings. Circumstances have conspired to make me what I am and therefore, I remain as I am.
