About Me
|
I live in Texas in my own house on an acre of land. I have 7 children but only 3 living at home now. I have two dogs Bella and Lady and lots of cats and some pain in the neck goats. I am going to school to finish a degree in Business Information Systems and two certificates in Medical Coding and Medical Office. I am a Christian and try to live my life according to the principals of the Bible. I am far from perfected yet, but I love Jesus, that is the bottom line. I attend church regularly and it is the main part of my life, along with my relationship with Christ, his followers and my family. I have many hobbies, but mostly right now I am working on website design, jewelry making and crochet. I enjoy Christian activities and concerts. I am loyal and loving to my family and friends. I love babies, animals and the elderly and they love me, we are in sync. If you want to be friends please add me to your friends list. Thanks!

I enjoy most kinds of music but Christian praise sets me on fire. I love to sing at the top of my lungs, my family might not like it, but wow! I love singing to he Lord and about HIM and HIS word.
My favorite Bible verses are: "Your law oh Lord is perfect reviving my soul, the statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple, Your precepts oh Lord are right giving joy to my heart, Your commands oh Lord are radiant, giving light to my eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure and it endures forever. Your ordinances to me oh Lord are sure and altogether righteous! To me they are more precious than gold, than much pure gold. They are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honey comb. By them I your servant is warned and if I keep them there is a great reward." Psalms 19:7-11
"Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with you wither soever thou goest." Joshua 1:9

Favorite Quote
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." C.S.Lewis
"Lose Everything but your faith in God, lose nothing, lose your faith in God, you've lost EVERYTHING!"
"While some books inform and others reform, only the Bible can transform" Billie Graham
"The Bible is God’s love letter to the World" Sadhu Sundar Singh
"The Bible is no mere a Book, but a living creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it." Napoleon Bonaparte

Quotes from Dr.Ravi Zacharias "Recapture the Wonder"
"The tragedy with growing up is not that we lose childishness in it's simplicity, but that we lose childlikeness in it's sublimity"
"Most of us can go back to a time in our lives when dreams of a life filled with wonder throbbed within our souls"
"Deep within every human heart throbs the undying hope that somebody or something will bring a way to retain the wonder"
"Wonder is that possession of the mind that enchants the emotions while never surrendering reason"
It's odd God. Time's shoeless feet sneaked up on me and caught me by surprise.
The days of youth I knew so well are gone with the blink of an eye. Innocent play and laughter, tire swings and fun, those days were too soon ended when I thought they'd only begun.
Backyard friends were many,worries and fears were few. Hopes and dreams were not yet dashed. But life as it was then is through. No longer tree swings, now their blowouts that complicate schedules and work as I recklessly race down the freeway in search of a paycheck and perks.
How I long for the years of my childhood, when life was uncluttered and free. Perhaps there's a way to reprogram my goals and capture the me that was me!
"To define wonder for an adult before seeing it through the eyes of a child is to miss the marvel of infancy"
"There's a wonder of sunset and evening, the wonder of sunrise I see, but the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul, is the wonder that God loves me!"
"There are some bitter long-term disappointments in short-term indulgence"
"Physicality and sensuality are not one and the same, and when they are made identical, the reduction is fatal to the senses"
"The only way to transcend the physical and the sensual while retaining their essential features is to bind them to the sacred"
"The one possessing the wealth must know its real value if the possession is to bring wonder"
"What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest friend. For this Thy dying sorrow, They pity without end? Oh, make me Thine forever, and should I fainting be, Lord, Let me never, never, outlive my love for thee! (Oh Sacred Heart so Wounded)
"If you want to know what truth is, look at Jesus Christ"
"Only God is able to Humble us without humiliating us and to exalt us without flattering us"
"How does one enjoy love? By being totally sold out in the heart to God Himself"
"Like a child who suddenly stops sobbing when he is clasped in the arms of his mother. Such will be the grip of Heaven upon our souls"
When every sense coalesces in the purpose for which we are created, we see reality through our Creator's eyes and our heart sings in harmony with His voice"
"God's word is the deposit made in the memory bank of the soul"
"Wonder is retained by wise pondering"

THE PLACE OF BLESSING Thank you Lord that there are blessings on the other side of every difficult situation in my life!! Your word says: "When I walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings" (Psalm 84:6). Praise you Jesus for the power of your word! I stand on it now through all the difficulties that have come against me for whatever reason - financial, personal, emotional, mental, and physical. Although I am walking through a tough place in my life today Your word calls it the "valley of weeping", You Lord are walking with me, Halleluiah! Please Lord I beseech you to strengthen and empower me to keep moving forward. I know that you will make my crooked path straight as I acknowledge you in all my ways!! Your word says that You are leading me to a place of blessing and refreshing! I will be encouraged today by meditating on Your word and savoring Your presence, it's not over until YOU say it's over, and YOU ALWAYS cause me to triumph! The Bible says that weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning! It also says that the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn shining brighter until the full day. No matter how dark my circumstance may seem, I am on a path that is shining brighter and brighter. I know today that there is a place of victory on the other side of my challenges. I will keep believing, trusting You, and expecting that your BEST for me is on the way! As I continue to meditate on Your goodness, and declare Your favor in my life, I will be strengthened and refreshed in my inner man. I will rise higher and higher, and I will live the life of victory You have in store for me! Father in heaven, I thank You for leading me to my place of blessing. I trust that You are faithful and believe that You have a good plan for my life, "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "Plans for welfare and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope." Help me Lord to always hear Your voice and not that of the stranger, so I can follow You all the days of my life in confidence. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
