Blessed of the Lord

About Me

I am blessed going in and blessed going out. I am blessed in the field or in the house, in rain or in sunshine. I walk in the favor of the Lord God Almighty. He loves me. He has a good plan for my life. I live to praise and worship His Holy name and to bring Him glory.
I am not afraid for He has not given me a spirit of fear, I can do all things for His joy is my strength. I walk in peace knowing that the Creator of all sits on the throne and nothing can be against me that matters because He is for me. He is ever with me. He quiets me with His love and rejoices over me with singing!
I was blessed to grow up the daughter of my Daddy and my Mama and thank God for my happy childhood. While I miss Mama every day, I still have Daddy here to love and enjoy and praise the Lord for that. I bless God that we are closer now than we've ever been. My life just gets better and better, more and more blessed.
I am blessed to be the wife of my highschool sweetheart, my soulmate, my beloved and best friend Ron whom God created in his mother's womb to be my husband. We've shared 40 years of life adventures together. He is the most awesome man I know - the most Christlike and the wisest. Truly am I blessed among women for God to have joined me with such a man and to know his unconditional love.
I am mother to three wonderful sons Matthew, Gregory and Russell and a precious daughter Cathryn. Three married and so the Lord gave me Janis, Melissa, and Tim. These exceptional humans have presented me with twelve grandchildren to love and enjoy: Michael, Naomi, Mercedes, Seth, Caryn, Anna, Joy, Matthew, Wesley, Gregory, Christian, and Benjamen. If I had nothing more than my family, I would be blessed beyond measure, but there is truly more.
Consider 8 titles published by 4 presses and co-authored with my Ron or O'Pa as the children call him. Six for grown-ups, two non-fiction GREAT FIREHOUSE COOKS OF TEXAS and ANTIQUING IN NORTH TEXAS and four novels THE THIEF OF DREAMS a thriller, THE APPLE ORCHARD BED AND BREAKFAST a mature inspirational romance, ABSOLUTE PI a mystery, and THE PRICE PAID a WWII story based on true experiences of PawPaw - Ron's daddy and the one who built the fine start to a quarter horse ranch.
The other two titles are for children, we call the series our River Bottom Ranch Stories. THE ADVENTURES OF SERGEANT SOCKS book one THE JOURNEY HOME and book two THE BRAVEST HEART, mostly told from the point of view of a beloved orphan colt. (www.SergeantSocks.com)
Consider living out a childhood dream at the River Bottom Ranch that our Father gave us only TWO miles from our home! (www.riverbottomranch.com) 113 acres of beautiful land where the peace of the Lord reigns - of being a "horse lady" with a herd of magnificient AQHA horses - a "dairy lady" with a herd of NDGA Nigerian dwarf goats - and always an animal lady, a pack of gentle giants also known as AKC Great Pyrenees who protect the goats, a cache of cats and kittens, and a flock of chickens!
God has favored me with a 30+ year best friend, Elaine who loves me unconditionally and is always there no matter what the need; a sister in every sense of the word. I love her and so appreciate having her in my life. Everyone deserves a friend like my Lainie.
My Heavenly Father has given me a vision, for without a vision, I would perish. He has revealed so much to me for if I lacked knowledge, I would be destroyed. He has shown me and introduced me to the Truth, for the Truth I know sets me free. I cling to and am a guardian of the Truth. My Lord is a God of reconcilliation and the Lover of my soul. There is nothing - absolutely NO THING - that compares to the promises I have in Him.
Oh enemies come, powers and principalities of darkness who serve the father of lies; some days seem dark, but I can still rejoice knowing my Father will make all my enemies my footstool, and His Word will always light my way. I need only to stand and see His great salvation. The vision may tarry, but it will come to pass. I will believe and will not doubt, for I am not a double-minded woman.
Without Him, I am nothing. In Him, I am everything.

My Interests

Writing, ranching, giving, sharing

I'd like to meet:

Adam, Enoch, Noah, Father Abraham, Joseph, Esther, Ruth, King David, Elijah, Isaiah, John, Peter, and Paul. And isn't it awesome to know that I will have eternity to visit with these children of my Father, my brothers and my sisters? Hallelujah!

Music:

inspirational and music from the '60s
My name means "Joyful Song" and I must admit that music plays a big, big part in my life. The Lord often gives me new songs. Each one of my 12 grandchildren has his or her own song. Animals at the ranch who are in our children's books have songs. I love to sing.
It was once said of me that I knew all the words to all the songs - even the ones I haven't heard!

Movies:

Too many to name. But I like movies that make you feel good, so that when you walk out of the theatre, you're happy and know that there is good in the world.

Books:

I love books. I write books with my husband. I publish books (not all our own: we were first published by 3 other presses, then started our company that now has 8 authors total). I read books. Bodie Thoene is one of my favorite authors. I've read all her series, I think.

Heroes:

I am my beloved's and he is mine. Husband Ron is my hero.
