AWESOME GOD VIDEO! ABSOLUTELY A MUST SEE!
..Now about me:
I just recently moved from Tucson to Maricopa, Arizona... although I'm still working in Tucson. I'm praying to find a job up this way. Arizona is such a beautiful place to live and I so love it here!I grew up in Michigan, and moved to Arizona in 1986. I have 3 wonderful kids: Elia(27), Lael(23 this May) and Jesse(21). I am a fortunate mother, and I consider them my proudest accomplishments, and biggest blessings. They keep me in check, out of trouble, and they are so much fun to hang out with and they make me laugh!
I am a born again Christian, and don't know where I would be without Jesus Christ in my life. I believe it is the attitude of the heart that God sees, and I try and reflect His Love and kindness to the people I meet everyday. I am a little old school in my beliefs, and think that humor, intelligence, honesty and good morals are big assets in a person... and I shouldn't leave out that a love for poker is a big plus! I am a Poker Dealer at a local casino, and I love it! The challenge, the comradere, the laughter and each table is like a separate neighborhood. I love hanging out with other poker players and just being "one of the guys!" I would love to build a relationship with someone that starts as a friendship, then builds to something special, and if not, then I'm okay with being on my own. I think compassion is a rare commodity and I hope to find a man who loves God, understands forgiveness, who is compassionate, passionate, trustworthy and full of humor and laughter! Lighten up! Life is easier if you laugh at yourself, and laugh with others.
I've made my share of mistakes in life and relationships, and I try and understand that we are all human, and people that we love are going to let us down, just as we are going to let down those we love and care about from time to time. However, forgiveness is a huge part of finding happiness and I try and forgive as I'd like to be forgiven, whether or not forgiveness is asked for. I know... I know... That's not the way most people think and I've been called naive by many of my friends and even my children at times, but I desire to keep my heart kind and trusting, and God knows that's been a challenge! I know that only God can heal a heart, but it has to start with accepting His forgiveness and then forgiving others as He has forgiven us. Who do you need to forgive in your life? Do you want to be happy, or do you want to hold onto your right to be miserable and hold onto that ache inside? In order to be happy, you MUST FORGIVE... It's a spiritual law that you can't hold onto bitterness and be happy at the same time! It's a choice that we all make, and it may require getting on our knees before the Father and making a conscious choice to forgive out of pure obedience to His Word. So... make the choice... What do you really want? Do you want to hold onto your "right to feel miserable" or do you want to be HAPPY!? It's not a cure all, and past hurts don't always disappear overnight..., but it's a start. Next, put your trust in God and let His Spirit start the healing. Well I didn't mean to preach here, but I'm just sharing an important seed of wisdom that's kept me from becoming a bitter person.
A little more about me:
I enjoy working with my hands, and love to do projects around the house involving woodworking, decorating, and building things. I used to work on cars and did body work for a couple of years, so I am more comfortable in a wrecking yard searching for parts than I am in a mall. However, the older I get, the thought of the cool air conditioning in a mall is beginning to sound pretty good out here in the desert. I love to have people over for a BBQ, swim, game of pool, or a poker game! I lived in the Phoenix area for the better part of 18 years and worked for the Arizona Cardinals from 1997-2000 and what a job! There is nothing like going to the games and being on the sidelines hearing the roar of the crowd! One of these days I'm hoping to get up there and cheer them on again... What a game!
