"Give Thanks"
HI! I am so glad you came to see me after I have been on the web for a little over year. I have a aka name now, Melissa aka Carebear:) given to me by my long time dear friend now, Karen. It was so wonderful to be given a aka name:) I just could not erease what I wrote when I first came online, so I made a page 2 about me, now at age 29, well almost 30...lol, and I am:) French, German, Irish and Spanish!! What a mouthful huh?..:)
I must say it has been a very wonderful year:) and I am so thankful for those I have met, and became true friends with, and stayed in touch with, and those who have come to know me, and to know my true intentions here on the web, I would NOT trade it for anything:)
Even those who I have met and we have gone their separate ways :) or we don't stay in touch alot, I hope the best for you:)
I wanted to go into more detail about me, as when I first became known on the web, I was so new and didnt know much about it..lol, but I sure am glad that the little over a year I have been here on the web has been so wonderful in most all ways. This turned out to be rather lenghy, but I hope that you will take some time to read about me and my life now. It is much longer than the first page I wrote about me when I first came on the web.
Thank you Ladycare for making this special background set for me, as Doves have represented the sign of Peace to me for some time now. They are my favorite :)
I must say this, I am a very analistic thinker:)
I believe that their is a God, and that he will create the path for you, if you listen, and invite him in your heart. However, I have never pushed others to feel the same way, in the real world, nor online, I feel that everyone deserves love and care, and a friend.
I was adopted at 3 days old, and I am now very thankful that I was adopted, knowing what I know now, as you know, or I hope that you know through my site, my brother Mike passed away at age 20, and he was my parents bioligical son, and when Ladycare first presented me with this wonderful surprise gift of a website in 2000, I didn't know what to say or do..lol, I did learn how to do HTML very quickly, as I wanted to be able to keep up in the maintaining and adding my own pages, to this gift Ladycare made for me and my family. Now, my life has a whole new meaning and it is thanks to the Lord above and Ladycare for presenting me this wonderful surprise gift, that my life is where it is right now today, in March of 2001.
I know that things in this life are not always clear to us, and many of us are lost and struggling with making a true meaning out of our purpose here. I have been so very lucky to have done many things in my life, up to this point,and I would love to let you know what exactly I have done up to this point, and this is of the utmost truth, that I am telling you these things.
I first was speaking to high schools about drinking and driving, and working with MADD, 3 months after my brother passed, and WOW what a powerful thing that was for me, to have so many teens come up to me and say WOW, I am going to rethink the way I am living right now, after sharing my brothers story, before it even became known on the web. It was a scary feeling I had when I first began this, but now I see very clearly, the purpose behind that.
I then was speaking in NC (working through Social Sevices) oddly enough with no degree, to parents who had adopted children, and were going through things with these children and the emotions they had, or were wondering what was ahead for them with the children they had adopted, It is very hard to really understand what children that are adopted are going through, unless that person themselves had been there.
With me being very blessed by finding my bilogical parents in 1991, and having my adoptive parents behind me all the way, this was certainly something to share, I learned:)
I know that most of you know that my Brother died due to riding with his best friends who was drinking, well...I did forgive him in time, and after some basic letters, I decided to send him the savior prayer, and leave it up to him whether he chose this path, but my forgiveness and friendship would remain with him either way, as it is through the grace of God, that I was able to do this, as he sits in a jail cell, and he is now saved and changing his life for the better, and I feel very good that he is now changing his life and making it better.
I then realized, after this, there was something else there, that I was needing to do, and that was running an evangilsm committee at our church in NC, I really did enjoy this, as I personally did not see the need to run all over and condem others for their beliefs and lifestyle, but rather get them into a understanding through love and kindness, that anyone, ANYONE, is worthy of Gods love, no matter what, and the best way to let others see the shining example of our Lord is that through example and love and kindness, not by judging and critizing others. I am honored to have had the chance to save many young lives in NC, where I began this work, and I am going to pick this up again very soon, in a church that I know is calling for me. I also was a youth counselor for a short time, and that was also a wonderful feeling for me, to be able to relate to other teens, and the pressures they face in this world today, and to help them through things that life brought there way, and showing them God is there for them, if they seek him.
I then felt the need to begin college, and WOW, it was really wonderful! {I was a high school drop out (My Sophmore year), and later went back to get my GED, but I know that doesnt matter, what matters is I made things right, and went back for my GED, and I am doing something with my life, that is good for me.} I knew this was perfect for me, I was doing so wonderful, and had A's and B's, and I was really interested in going all the way with this, and well..lol I guess you could say I had to take a detour, and what a detour it was:) I have all my books and records and wonderful grades that I earned from my 2 semesters in college, in the year of 2000.
I dont know how many of you joined the group or knew of the group, the Wings of Peace, Doves were the main symbol that was created there, representing the Peace, (that I felt unity and bringing others together from ALL walks of life to love, and help each other brought) but that was my next call in this life, and even though I didn't know why I stopped college at the time to do this, I am now honored that I created the group, and I know even though, the group is no longer here today on the web, (it was only created for a Season), and when that season was over for me as leader, the Wings of Peace group was complete as to what its purpose here was. This WOP group survived many things in the 6 months it was here, while I was the truthful leader, with help and guidance from God above. I must say thank you if you were once a faithful member of this group of over 240 people from all walks of life coming together to help one another, and to hopefully become closer to God. I was called to do just that, form the group and run it during its season, it is from that very group, that I am headed in the right path, and know exactly what my life is for here. It really feels very good to know exactly what you are here for, and for the very first time in my life, I know what I am here for and what I am suppose to do with my years here on this earth. I have heard from so many of you that this group has helped you as well, and I am ever so grateful for that. I certainly am glad that some of you that were once in this group, have created other groups, from your heart, and for the right reasons, and I hope that each of them grow and flourish for you.
I myself have been blessed with every prayer that I have said to God, being answered faithfully for me, even prayers I have been saying for 10 years were answered after running this group things were never so complete for me, and I know that some may understand and some may not, but it is whats in my heart, as it is whats in your own heart, for God knows our hearts and intentions, that is what is important. All of the wonderful people and friends I have made there, I sure hope that many of us remain in touch.
When I began college, I was always kinda back and fourth with Criminal Justice, but I thought for sure that was the right career for me, and it was just me, thinking it was maybe not right, as I thought..hmmm, after I signed up for my first Criminal Justice class, I think I would much rather help someone that is struggling in grief and lifes troubles, than enforce a law to them, well now I am going back to college with that wonderful gift that I have been searching for for years and I finally have found it, with my husband transferring, we are moving soon, and there is a college that I can go for Psychology, or Social Work, with a 2 year degree for now *S*, whichever career path I should choose, I am able to take at this college.
My husband got a wonderful promotion, which I have prayed for for years..and it finally happened!!! I am just so very excited, and can not wait to begin this new era in my life.
Living on, a lake, which I know water and me..lol always got along well, as I am sure you read on my first page about me *S*.
My parents FINALLY went online mid March of 2001, and seen my Brother Mikes site, Mikes Piece of Heaven, for the first time, and that was my largest gift and prayer answered of all:)
I have learned so very much during my time on the web, and when we bought this computer it was for college work only, and well..things got alittle off track, but now, everything has fallen back into track for me and for my family, but I would not trade for anything any of the times I have had on here.
I have been told many times, that your family are the only ones who are always..ALWAYS going to be there for you, and that is very very true..no matter what happens with yourself and others, your family is going to be right there, no matter what, so long as their is some kind of mutual deep lying repect between each other there, for they love unconditionally. You should always honor Your Father and Your Mother.
My insight on life is different than some I have met, and that is ok, and I still love all that I have met, because you see,
NO two people have the same direction, or calling in this life, what a boring world and life this would be if we did, and in my opinion we are NOT here to judge or condem others for doing what they choose do, and living as they wish and choose to live.
Sharing smiles and sunshine are the best way to help someone and being a good friend to someone, I have really learned, and letting them know you really care, as a friend, no matter if we may think what they are doing or how they are living is right or wrong, but rather, seeing them through things and trials in this world, which with the love of a friend, trials make you stronger each time you go through one, and holding them when they need it and them holding you in return. Everything is always better when shared with a friend, and if we do nothing but look for others faults and downfalls, that is not going to make someone feel very special as our friend, and loved, as NOONE is perfect, but everyone has a special gift within them to share with others:)
Everyone I have crossed paths with here on the net, I sure do hope and pray they all have found direction in their lives, and that they are ALL happy and doing what they believe in and feel is best for them.
We only have ONE life, and we must live it the way WE, OURSELVES, feel is right, and not worry about what others think and do in their lives that is right for them.
For I believe, our God above is the final judge for the actions and words we have used here in this life. We know ourselves what our intentions are in our heart, and why we are doing what we choose to do, and that is enough for me now, that I have learned very much from my time online, day and night, even though that path for me is almost complete and other things are coming along in my life, I would never cut myself totally off from much love and many lessons I have learned from sitting right here at my computer.
All My Love to you all,as I continue the path that lies ahead of me.
I only hope the best for you all.
My heart is the exact same way it was when I became new to the online world in 2000, I am the same person on here as I am in the real world, and my heart is still huge, even though I have had some bumps, loving and trusting most others can not be taken from me, because that is where I believe true happiness starts here in this world, is making friends, that you have something in common with, and if I only had 1 true friend, (as it has been said we are very lucky if we have 1 true friend), a friend who is there through the things you agree about and things you disagree about, I consider that enough, to make life worth while. I also think peoples true intentions and selves are shown after knowing them for so long. I have learned through some bumps... that we are not to be used as a door mat either, if someone hurts us we do forgive them, that is the right and Godly thing to do, but we do not have to repeatedly let someone who does not have good intentions, or we do not feel comfortable with, hurt us, nor take advantage of us, on the net, or in the real world. We are all human, and have feelings and deserve to be loved.
LUKE 11:21- When a strong man armed keepeth his palace
his goods are in peace:
If my sites have helped just ONE person, that is enough for me, as helping one person is better than helping noone.
*Always Wear a Smile*
*You Never Know Who May Need That In Their Life*
Love and HUGS and Peace and Blessings,
Melissa (aka Carebear:)

Below I have posted a link, where you may see my Founder Page to the Group that once was, the Wings of Peace. It sure was to me, a wonderful, Outreach Ministry while its season was here on this earth:) I would be honored for you to visit:) I am still doing the same thing as I was then, only I am in the Physical World now more than Online.
It's not a Group, and Member pages that make friendships last, and people stay in touch, and help each other, its the people themselves, and their attitudes and love for one another.
[ My Wings of Peace Group Founders Page ]
I WAS SENT THIS BY A DEAR FRIEND AND I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.
Why worry about people ~
you can only be who you are.
I am me and me I
shall be~
I try my best to be as nice as I can
and if it bothers people that's ok
cause I am just being me~
I judge no one and love all that I meet,
well yes there are exceptions,
those are the ones I pray for
who don't understand me~
I laugh with my friends
I also cry when they are hurting.
I also cry by
the way they write things to me,
yes my heart can be touched
and it has
been by many of my cyber friends ~
I have learned a lot on this little machine
more than some think ~
For with out this I would be ohh so lonely.
You see when one gets sick
or isn't in the working force
they cease to loose their so called
friends,
which were so great at the time,
I am now ohh so happy with my new found friends.
They all have funny
names
but their heart show ohhh so bright ~
They are there for me morning, noon, and night .
They are My Sweet Loving Angels~~
God Bless Them
