The Past Few Months In Review....

Hello my fellow Stackers. not many of you all know me on a personal level. Some of you do, but I try not to make it a habit to toss my personal affairs all over the place. But, I have to say, on a personal note, I have had nothing short of an absolutely life altering experience since I have become a member of Pinstack. For those of you who dont know, Chokem is my Dad. But, he hasnt always been a part of my life. I grew up in a very unstable environment as I know, unfortunately, happens all too often. I was adopted at birth, and never knew anything about my biological family. Extremely long story short, the people who raised me left me with serious emotional scars, that by the grace of God, I continue to heal from everyday. This year has been a year of major change for me. I chose to finally cut all ties with everyone in my adoptive family, which was very hard for me. I had to let go of some people whom I had grown up my whole life, viewing as family. It's amazing, though how God's timing is so incredibly perfect and His wisdom so infinte. I had been holding on to a toxic relationship for so long, in hopes that I might someday change my adoptive parents' point-of-view reguarding me. It was only when I finally made the choice to truly forgive and let go, that God began a wonderful work in my life. I joined pinstack in February of this year. which was the same month in which I severed all ties with my adoptive family. I began conversing with some people on Pinstack and joking about some things, and learning a lot about the world of Blackberry and Smartphones. But, there was one stacker in particular that continued to always offer constant advice and always seemed to have an answer for this newbie Blackberry user. His name is Chokem on the stacks. If you asked me could I remember the day or the conversation that led us to becoming BB messenger buddies, I would say I could not. What I do know, however.... without a doubt in my mind, God placed Chokem in my life at His Divine timing, in a role that I so desperately needed filled in my life. Since becoming friends with Chokem, it became quickly apparent that we had a bond that was just about instant. Just a couple days after talking, I told him that he was like a Dad to me. And from then on, he just fit into that role so naturally and for the first time in my life, have learned what it was like to have a Dad. Now, it seems really that he has been my Dad my whole life. May I also add in here, that it was not too long after Dad and I had been brought into each others' lives, I had been presented with the opportunity to search for my biological family. And funny thing, No one could find any factual information about my birth father anywhere in my files. I was so incredibly disappointed about this because I wanted my whole life just to be able to have a relationship with a good father. I remember as a little girl, and a teenager, literally praying and begging God to let me have a good Dad. I would ask God specifically that my real Dad have certain qualities. He would be kind, soft spoken, intelligent, love God, be non judgemental and tell me he loved me every day. He would be kind to other people and protect his family at all costs. The kind of man that would put everyone else's needs before his own and would always be there to listen. And I will tell you, Dad (Chokem) has not only lived up to every one of those expectations and has exceeded them as well. And, as sappy as it may sound, there has not been a day gone by that Dad has not told me he loved me, and to you, Dad, I sit, and tearfully say, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you for giving me that gift, and I love you back. His beautiful wife, Nancy has one of the sweetest smiles and laughter you will ever see or hear. I know this blog has nothing to do about Smartphones, but, it has everything to do with how Pinstack has changed my life. So, I just wanted to let everyone know how incredibly much I love my Dad, and how thankful I am to have had the opportunity to not only be a part of a community that shares the same hobby as me and has taught me so much about Smartphone Technology, but for the wonderful way my life has been changed since becoming a member. I love you, Dad.

Also, I would like to say, If there ever was a group of people with whom I have experienced such and overflowing of love and support, Pinstack would be it. I recently posted a prayer request in the networking forum of Pinstack and have been so moved at the responses that I received from that blog. Praise God! The Believers who have joined together and shared their support has been truly priceless to me and my family. And may I express, If you read this blog and you are not a believer in the Almighty God, then please message me. Because I would love the opportunity to share the Awesome Power of His love, grace, and salvation!!
