About Me

Hello folks...my name is Dustin and I am probably to old to do my space...but who cares!

We have been married for a little over four years and as of today we have 0 kids. I just turned the big 3-0 recently and in some ways I am happy to be done with the turbulant twenties!!!My universal pupose is to be a Christ follower and to love people...my unique purpose is to love the woman God has blessed me with...and to use the gifts he has given me to encourage, empower and entertain. I love the music and arts...and if that becomes a fulltime job someday...great! If not...I will continue to do my unique purpose no matter where I am or what it is that I am doing to pay the bills. Currently I am writing some music of my own about my journey through life, love, family and all kinds of other happenings. God is fathering me...not that he hasn't always been...I am just now beginning to recognize it and aprreciate his kindness. I love my church here in GA (Crossroads Community Church)...and I am surrounded by good friends...and I am thankful for the fathers love...so I desire to show it to people I meet.Check out my second family at www.crossroadsconnect.comI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
