Childhood

​By Peggie Potter​

 Jeremiah 29:11 for I know the plans I have for you.
To prosper you & not destroy you. To give you a hope & a future.
 
         From the time of my childhood through my early walk with Jesus
I was an awkward, nerdy , & insecure soul. I struggled with depression 
& self-consciousness. I often embarrassed my family & myself trying
desperately to be noticed & acknowledged. I was the favorite bullying
victim on the school playground.

        Jesus changed all that. When He came into my life in Feb 1978 , I
was a young mother of a 7 month-old son, Rob. Slowly He began to
remove all the fear & insecurity & need for attention. He took my love
of natural science & gave me my now nearly 29 year career as an
aviation weather observer. He blessed me with three wonderful sons,
2 precious daughters -in-law, & 4 beautiful grandchildren.

          I know my worth as a child of God because He has not only saved & cared for me,
but has given me His heart. My value lies in Him. Insecurity was a very 
difficult thing to overcome, but I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me. And yes Norma, my latter is certainly better than my past !

​Praise Jesus !
Blessings, Peggie Potter
