I am here for Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

My name is Susie. And don't let the fact that I love the Lord give ya negative thoughts, or you'd be wrong! At least about ME. I can be a good friend and I'm very down-to-earth. Please don't accept friendship if ya don't want to communicate, cos Susie likes to know people. I've worked in Special Ed. since 1989, studied the scriptures in the original languages off & on for 30 years, and I'm currently in college, getting my teaching credentials. I'm a divorced mother of 5 grown children and have 4 grandchildren. I love people with great *passion*, both young and old, all races, types, etc...God has assisted in helping me overcome many strongholds & weaknesses & I'm very grateful, and enjoy being of help to others. When people are difficult I don't mince words but it's always out of love. I have a sense of humor, which will reflect in some of my bulletins. I'm very upfront, so you never have to 'guess' with me. I say what's on my mind. I'm a nurturer, but I don't believe in molly-coddling. I love communicating, down to earth fun with all my friends & family, being around my grandchildren, and talking to some of my MySpace friends on the phone. I especially appreciate a sense of humor in people, and people who are upfront, honest & REAL. I have 3 sons in the millitary. I would one day like to have a loving companion of love for life, but either way, is okay with me. :) I've got grandchildren! And friends, including my grown children whom I'm proud of. Yeah!...... If you want to know more about my heart...read my blogs above, and look at my videos. Blessings to you... Now, go do the "right" thing. -wink--------HEY, IF YOU DON'T LOOK AT ANYTHING ELSE, WATCH MY VIDEOs AND CHECK OUT MY BLOGS. :)
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

About me:

My Interests

Meeting people, communicating, passing along the things I've learned and assisting people toward a better life, trying new coffees; sailing, hiking, swimming (used to be a lifeguard). I love gardening, cats & all animals. I love the beach, sunsets, studying the Bible. I enjoy almost anything in life with the right people. :)

I'd like to meet:

Composer & Conductor John Williams (I'd love to shake his hand), and "Friends" who respect God, and/or friends who are real & honest AND PLAN TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME. My friends here at MySpace are TRUE friends--and like riches to me. I don't take any of them for granted. I love all people. I do however...prefer to communicate--as opposed to just having you on my "list" gathering dust. DONT REQUEST ME IF YOU DONT PLAN TO INTERACT.I DON'T KEEP FRIENDS WHO NEVER TALK TO ME. Don't request friendship just to advertise on my bulletin space or in my comments, and if you're going to take up my bulletin space with multiple bulletins at once. I often find myself nurturing people because I care. And nothing you could tell me would shock or surprise me, so feel free to open up & talk about your issues. If you want to be my friend, read my blogs...get to know me. My blogs are my heart. I am not condescending, and I appreciate the same from others. There's no room for superior attitudes on my list of friends. If you want to "Police" christians, or judge my friends... move on. I find that there is no ministry that's more important than, or superior to -- another.....People that have issues, if you want to be normal & healthy, deal with these issues like a "man". Quit protecting yourself and hiding in your comfort zones, why live your short life in a prison? I can tell you about our God, who can & does set us free! Take a leap of faith and embrace healing & wholeness. Chase after it, until it is yours." PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO WATCH THESE VIDEOS!

Music:

I appreciate the genius in all types of music. I'm a SOAD fan.(System Of A Down) I have a deep love for classical, especially piano & solo violin. I love all the composers, and the famous John Williams who wrote many scores for movies such as Schindler's List, Jaws, Star wars, ET, and much more. He's simply genius! The one of two favorite Christian singers who have touched me the most is the late--Kieth Green, a Jewish man who had an encounter with Christ and reminded me of a modern day Paul, and Mahilia Jackson-the queen of gospel. **MOST IMPORTANTLY & DEEPLY, MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL IS THE HYMMN --"jUST aS i aM". WHY? BECAUSE UNLIKE PEOPLE WHO JUDGE US FROM APPEARANCES AND SIZE US UP WITH THEIR PERSONAL AGENDAS, CHRIST IS NOT LIKE THAT. HE TAKES US JUST AS WE ARE, AND WE DON'T NEED TO CHANGE FIRST, TO COME TO HIM. :)

Television:

FBI files, Forensic Files, Cold Case Files, National Geographic Channel, Some TBN shows, New Detectives, Discovery channel, Animal Channel, History Channel, Air Emergency, Seconds from Disaster, Judge Judy, Dr. G Medical Examiner, Joyce Meyers. But do I get to watch these all the time? No.

Books:

Non-fiction, Self-help books if I respect the authors, Inside The Criminal Mind by Dr. Stanton E. Shamenow...

Heroes:

Anyone with backbone, and the willingness to do the right thing. People that keep their word. People that aren't spineless.
