About Me

Hmmm...What shall I say...I have a name, it is April. Some assume that this might mean I was also born in April or that I am related to April O'Neil...sadly, neither is true. I was born on the fifth day of march many years ago and my parents decided to name me April Christine after my sister's doll. I have a wonderful family including three sisters and two brothers, a mom, a dad, and the most beautiful neice in the world : ) When I was little I believed that chickens grew in gardens and I wanted to have one full of them when I grew up. My favorite childhood memory is of my family all bundled up in blankets on the backyard lawn looking up at the stars. My dad would point out different constellations, most of which I couldn't quite make out and I often mistook airplanes for shooting stars...but these were great times : ) I presently work with disabled children. I never knew that I could enjoy my job so much...they are each uniquely beautiful and I am reminded each day of our own heavenly father's continued love and patience toward us...with memories of the past, joys of the present and hopes of the future all intertwined somehow into this person that I now am, the only thing I desire for anyone to really know "about me" is the amazing and transforming love of God....

My Interests

My greatest desire and pursuit is to know Jesus...Fellowship with Him is the reason we were created, the reason we were redeemed! I love sitting and talking with people...to get to know a person for more than the outside allows to be seen...a cup of coffee or tea is also good company : ) I enjoy exploring and going on adventures, big or small...there are so many beautiful places to be seen and yet each day reveals their beauty different than the day before and still different than the day after, so that no one scene can ever be espied... I love capturing beauty through photography, whether people or places, there is something amazing about being able to have a moment frozen in time. I enjoy playing the guitar, though I am at present stuck in the key of "E"...I also love to cook yummy food...though I suppose taste is in the mouth of the consumer...ha! : )

A Great Verse : )

Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever! Psalm 73:25-26
