About Me

..First, and most importantly, I am a child of God!! My main priority in life is to let God love others through me and be all that He intends for me to be! I am deeply committed to and madly in-love with my husband of almost 6 years, Gerald! We have 4 teenagers (18, 16, 16 & 15) and I am very passionate & involved in their lives. I am mommy to Daisy, too, she's my Pekingese - and my baby. A 40th birthday present to me from Zack, our oldest!

My Interests

..I love spending time with my God, my family & friends; traveling, listening to my ipod, singing, reading, retail therapy (a.k.a. SHOPPING), Starbucks, clothes, SHOES, boots, handbags, JEWELRY, manicures, pedicures, flowers (especially Gerbera Daisies), designer fragrances.... Honestly, although it doesn't 'read' like it, I am pretty simple; BUT, yes, I can be high maintenance at times! My husband is convinced, too, that I am a closet-redneck! .. I must disagree!

I'd like to meet:

..I'd like to meet new like-minded friends, reconnect with vintage friends (you know, old ones, but a nicer way of saying it that is probably politically correct!)! Myspace has proven to be a GREAT venue to do just that, too!

Music:

..Contemporary Christian and Christian Rock are my favs (i.e., Avalon, Nicole C. Mullens, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, Big Daddy Weave, etc...

Movies:

..Basically anything you'd consider a 'chick-flick'. I am a romantic optimist at heart & love happy endings. I love films of adventure, suspense, feel-good sports movies, and a plethora of others.

Television:

..Dancing with the Stars & American Idol (right now).

Books:

..My Bible, Left Behind series, Harry Potter series, Power of a Praying Wife, Power of a Praying Parent, Power of a Praying Woman, When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, Battlefield of the Mind, The Confident Woman, The Power of Simple Prayer, Enjoying Where You Are On the Way to Where You Are Going, The Frazzled Female, Approval Addiction: Overcoming Your Need to Please Everyone....basically anything by Joyce Meyer, Beth Moore, Stormie Omartian, Max Lucado, etc.

Heroes:

I haven't blogged in a while and my heart is just overflowing with praise and thankfulness to God for his abundant blessings - evening in situations and circumstances that, at the time, certainly didn...
