About Me

About Me:
I'm Tracie.
I relate my life to the story of OZ.
Once upon a time I had...
a head full of stuffing...
a hollow place in my chest...
and fear overcame me.
By a twist of fate my world has changed.
I have been granted...
wisdom, abounding love, & strength.
Through life's journey I have learned...
There is no place like home, especially when there is love in it.
All that I am is thanks to Jesus...the man behind the curtain in all that I do.
Best of all... I now have hope somewhere over the rainbow.
I love my husband Jesse David...
My family...and the friends I consider family.
Youngstown Metro Church is amazazing!
~Isaiah 58:6-10
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
"If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday."
"The things you fear are undefeatable not by their nature but by your approach." -Jewel
