About Me



My name is Bethann. I love my family and I love my pets. I am a major animal lover! I have a dog and three cats. I love to cook, garden, do crafts, watch movies, and of course, play with my dog! He goes just about everywhere with me. Even though I am a "home body", I enjoy a nice evening out. I love to laugh and joke around, especially with my brother Chris. I don't have any children but am very close with my two nieces, Lisa and Jillian. They are so precious to me! Being a part of their lives is something I will always cherish. I believe in loving deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it's the only way to live life completely. We are not made or unmade by the things that happen to us, but by the way we react to them. I am fun, classy, sassy, independent, positive, optimistic, inspiring, and love to encourage others! When you change a person's heart, you can change their life forever. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I love Him with all my heart! Circumstances do not have to change for us to become victorious. It's our heart that needs to be filled with the Holy Spirit. God doesn't call the equiped. He equips the called! "Let no one ever come to leave you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greetings." ~ Mother TeresaI may tremble on the Rock, but the Rock never trembles under me! For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? ~Psalm 18:31Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, "Oh no, she's awake!!"~Women of Strength~ A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape... but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape... A strong woman isn't afraid of anything... but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear... A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her... but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone... A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future... a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them... A strong woman walks sure footedly... but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls... A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face... but a woman of strength wears grace... A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey... but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.~God is in control~ How often we need this reminder as we get caught up in the struggles of daily living. What peace could be ours if we would only claim God's power as our source of strength. ~Twila ParisLife is not about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain. It's not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.In whatever situation you find yourself today --- whether you sing in joy and triumph, or cry in sorrow and loss --- may you know the all-encompassing love of God. May you place your life in His care, lean on His strength, and discover His everlasting peace. ~Twila ParisOh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away. ~George Eliot..

My Interests

Life is Growth and Change... a fact we often forget... For in our deep quest to feel settled at last into a comfortable phase of life, the changes, small and large, that inevitably occur in our lives, are often surprising, difficult, and hard to process... Yet, as we move through each chapter of our own, unique, thousand-chapter-long life story, it helps to remember that each change brings new learning, each phase we enter leads us to the next, and the most challenging times are often followed by personal and sprirtual growth of the deepest kind possible... ~ Caroline Joy Adams

A Few Words of Caring... After a while you learn that love doesn't mean leaning, that kisses aren't contracts, and presents aren't promises... And you begin to accept defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you can endure... that you really are strong and you really do have worth, and that with every new tomorrow comes the dawn. ~Hallmark Cards, Inc.

I'd like to meet:

"If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me". Luke 9:23

Music:

In every journey there is meaning. In every conflict there is growth. In every action there is purpose. In every moment of doubt remember to believe in yourself.Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Movies:

For Those Suffering From Depression ~ Dear Lord, For all the times in our lives when things DO seem right, when we have that moment of clarity, when we feel there is hope, when the sun shines down upon us and warms our face and reminds us that life IS a gift...we thank you Lord. Amen."Trust the unknown future to a known God!"

~Pathway of Pain~ If my days were untroubled and my heart always light. Would I seek the fair land where there is no night? If I never grew weary with the weight of my load, would I search for God's peace at the end of the road? If I never knew sickness and never felt pain, would I search for a hand to help and sustain? If I walked not with sorrow and lived without loss, would my soul seek sweet solace at the foot of the cross? If all I desired was mine day by day, would I kneel before God and earnestly pray? If God sent no Winter to freeze me with fear, would I yearn for the warmth of Spring every year? I ask myself this and the answer is plain - If my life were all pleasure and I never knew pain - I'd seek God less often and need Him much less. For God is sought more often in times of distress. And no one knows God or sees Him as plain, as those who have met Him on the "Pathway of Pain". ~Kristone~

A Godly marriage is not created by finding a perfect, flawless person, but is created by allowing God's Perfect Love and acceptance to flow through one imperfect person -- you -- toward another imperfect person -- your mate.
