About Me

I am a devoted follower of Christ. If you want to know me better, you might start by reading some of my blogs.



A woman’s heart should be so lost in God
that a man has to seek Him in order to find Her.




Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying [to ourselves] that we are born to eternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi
