What Can God Do with a Woman Like Me?

Excerpt from: WHAT CAN GO DO WITH A WOMAN LIKE ME? I never thought that I would be wandering around cities at 11 pm passing out angel pins. But there I was, meeting people who needed hope, comfort and encouragement. People whose lives were sidetracked by addiction, homelessness and other very sad situations such as the lady who had been hit 50 times in the head. Even a man saying "No one will get hurt; I need money for my baby." That isn't what I had in mind when I began my 7000 mile trek. I called my trip THE ANGELS ALONG THE WAY GOODWILL TOUR. Back in February of 2006, I decided to spend the summer traveling around the country passing out Team of Angels pins attached to an inspirational poem. I believed in myself and what I wanted to do but obstacles kept popping up -mainly the financial side of it. How would I travel? Where would I stay? How would I pay for food? And also the people side of it: the dream busters who whispered that I was going through an identity crisis - who does she think she is? The great white hope? She's just a middle-aged mom who needs to get her head out of the clouds and get a job Maybe nobody was really saying that but that is how I felt when I told some people about my quest for adventure - angel pin style. So, off I went on the adventure of a lifetime. I was convinced that one little Team of Angel pin could make a difference. Over 125,000 people are wearing my angel pin now. It helped me at a time of despair -when I penned the words and made the gold trio of angels pin and called it The Team of Angels for the Overwhelmed.
