Who is she who looks forth as the morning?

About Me

saved by grace, striving to worship Him in spirit and in truth, poet, redeemed by the blood of the lamb, mother of two, cook, bilingual spanish, i'll hike in the mountains any day, love to be outside, admiring creation, singer, acoustic guitar jammer, drummer, percussionist, made to fly stretching out my wings, loved by the lover of my soul those of you who know me may have heard this song i wrote, it's called pearls to swine. it's part of my testimony. maybe you can get a glimpse of who i am/who i was. "i spent many a year throwing my pearls to the swine. i spent many a night drinking bittersweet wine. but i was never satisfied until i met You, and i knew the truth. wandered down many a road looking for my way home. i looked many stranger in the eye trying to fill the void inside. but i was never satisfied until i met you and i knew the truth. travelled all around this world engaged in intellectual pursuits. meditated with a guru in a sweatlodge never satisfied till i met the authentic God. i was never satisfied until i met you and i knew the truth"
