Who Has Been the Most Influential Person in Your Life:
How do you answer something like this? My life’s not over. It’s a timeline answer... First both my parents, who adopted me when I was four days old and never considered me anything but theirs. (That's my dad to the left. You can't tell by the picture, but he's wrapped around my little finger) Then, it was my high school best friend Patty McCoy who explored with me, cried with me, got in trouble with me, and is forever the friend of my heart. As a young adult, it was fellow teacher and mentor Elizabeth Weed. In the writing world, it's best friend Harlequin American author Cathy McDavid (There we are, at a booksigning, all blurry to the right). Now it is my husband Donald Osback (standing next to me below) and my son, who both teach me patience and that love is glue with occasional bubbles. And throughout time, Jesus.

What is Your Favorite Bible Story: The Prodigal Son
What is Your Favorite Bible Verse: Matthew 2:28 “A voice is hear in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.” This verse has always spoken to me because it showed me how much emotion could be taken down to just one sentence. One sentence. Wow

The Lord will shine His light of salvation on your husband. He will soon love the Lord beyond your imagination.
ReplyDeleteNice knowing you.
Olufisayo,
ReplyDeleteI believe that. My husband has attended church every Sunday morning since we became engaged. He even helps out around the church. Half the people don't know he's not baptized.
Thank you for stopping by.
I enjoyed getting to know more about you, Pamela. I love that you've had such supportive people in your life. Encouragement is such a great gift.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keli,
ReplyDeleteAfter I published it, I thought of a dozen more people. You're so right. Encouragement is a great gift.
You have such a cute son.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for sharing Pamela! I learned a lot of great things about you.
ReplyDeleteMargaret,
ReplyDeleteHe's even bigger than when you last saw him.
And,if I remember correctly, you're partial to Michaels, right?
Danica,
ReplyDeleteWe're all doing the dance of writing and motherhood and life. It's great that we can look around the dance floor and see our fellow LI authors all dipping and turning and singing praises.
Great to meet you, Pamela! You have some wonderful people surrounding you through life. That is an emotionally powerful verse of scripture. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed learning about your life, Pamela. I'm sure your son is a blessing in your life *smile*. After growing up with sisters, then I had 2 girls. So when my 3rd baby was a boy, I was shocked, LOL. But he's such a blessing in my life.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Patti Jo
p.s. I'm praying for your husband.
Thank you for sharing, Pamela! I'm praying for your husband, too.
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteI've loved that scripture since I was a teenager. Even then, I was amazed by the vivid wording.
I do have wonderful people surrounding me. Here, too, with the Craftie Ladies.
Patti Jo,
ReplyDeleteI never was around boys and now that's all I've got. Even the cat's a boy. What's amazing to me is that they still smell like little boy right after a bath. Hmmm, what's with that.
Alexa,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by. And, especially for praying for my husband.
What a wonderful tribute to the influential people in your life. I had to laugh at your first sentence, since you came up with the questions for all of us!
