About Me


"When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I am saved" I'm whispering "I was lost". That is why I chose this way. When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with boastful pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone to be my guide. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And cannot ever pay the debt. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect..... My flaws are all too visible, But God believes I'm worth it....as is EVERYONE. When I say..."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have had my share of heartaches, which is why I speak His name. When I say..."I am a Christian" I do not wish to judge. I have no authority. I only know I'm loved....."
I'm a born-again Christian nurse who loves her Lord, her family..... her kids.......all of them....... Zachariah, Jack, Jessi, Megan, Lauren and Hosanna! Their pics are here and their friend's pics are here because they are all loved and missed and prayed for.
My blog, "The pathway is broken again" explains alittle of my life......and what's been going on...... I don't know if I will ever have REAL love in this world.......a real cord of three.......but if I don't, that will be ok...... I will still live for Him and for my children...... I am a believer in family.......lifting each other up in prayer, building each other up in love, loving unconditionally, being best friends, enjoying our Lord's creations, smiling and laughing ALOT, making sure children do the same......treating every child if they were ours.......as they belong to Jesus........entrusted to us for a short time till we have to give them back....... trying to understand grief and pain of others AND ourselves and taking EVERYTHING to our Abba in prayer.....
Honest, sincere, REAL, and wanting to be like Jesus is what I am, although I may fall short......it is what I strive for.......attainable ONLY thru His presence and spirit in my life....... If any of this touches a place deep in your heart, ask to be a friend..... and you WILL have one.....
*******
These are pictures of alittle of my past......please ask if you feel so led......
These are my tattoos I've had for over 10 yrs.....part of my life, my walk.....and of course there is a story..... and the Lord opens the door to tell it.....and then he opens my mouth and tells it......
.........And for a smile...........lol

Hold on to this precious friends...... "Consider it pure joy when faced with trials of many kinds, for it is the testing of your faith that develops perserverance, and perserverance must finish it's works so that we may be complete and mature.....not lacking anything." James 1:2-4"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you", declares the Lord, "and will bring you out of captivity." Jeremiah 29:11-14
AMEN!!!!

THE REALITY AND TRUTH OF THIS SONG.....AS IF SUNG BY OUR LORD.......CAN YOU UNDERSTAND IT? OR DOES IT OFFEND?
.......THE BOTTOM LINE MY PRECIOUS FRIENDS........
Find this song on my song list and listen to it... I heard it when I first got saved.....It really affected my "religion" or lack thereof.....did wonders for my "relationship"
HAVE YOU DONE THE THINGS I SAID?
I don't care if your pastor's super-powered
And your program's always new
What you need is love and truth
And men are going to come to you
It doesn't matter that you know the Bible
If it's all just in your head
The thing I need to ask you is
Have you done the things I said?

Do you love your wife?
For her and for your children
Are you layin' down your life?
What about the others?
Are you livin' as a servant to Your sisters and your brothers?
Do you make the poor man beg you for a bone?
Do the widow and the orphan cry alone?

I don't care if you pray for miracles
I don't care if you speak with tongues
I don't care if you said you love Me
In every song you've sung
It doesn't matter that your sacrifice of praise
Is loud enough to raise the dead
The thing I need to ask you is
Have you done the things I said?

Lord, when were You a prisoner
That we did not come to You?
When was it that we saw You sick
That we didn't follow through
Every time you turned your head
And pretended not to see...
When you did it not to the least of these
You did it not to Me.

American Association For Lost Children, Inc. (AAFLC) is a non-profit, International, Christian Organization, which actively finds and rescues missing children at no cost to the parents.AAFLC was founded in 1987 by Mark R Miller. After seeing a missing children's flyer, it was apparent that mostly all missing children's charities were merely resource centers. Someone needed to physically look for the children.Mark, literally took it upon himself, to do just that. He gave up everything he had in order to follow his heart and the Lord in finding these missing children. AAFLC conducts hands on investigations, locates and rescues missing children. More than 120 missing children have been recovered throughout the United States and places as far away as Mexico, Germany (twice) and Lebanon.We welcome all your help, ideas and support as we rely on donations. Volunteers, investigators, fundraisers, caseworkers,PR, etc. -- are all welcomed. If you are in need of our services please call, as we look forward to helping you .WWW.AAFLC.ORG 1-800-375-5683

You Are a Peacemaker Soul
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.

While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a great sense of humor and wit.
You're always diplomatic and able to give good advice.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

I'd like to meet:

....everyone on this earth who needs Jesus......to tell them what He has done in my life.....and how much He loves them. I want them to have His joy and love that surpasses ALL understanding.......I want to see them in heaven one day..... and to feel His presence while they still have breath here. It is right to go to heaven without taking a friend?.....and the kids......all the kids who need a family......who need love like we all do......I wish I could take them all......let Jesus use me to touch them.......this is my prayer....... Listen to a friend who the Lord is using to minister to those who have shared unbelievably rough times......... Listen to him shine this beautiful light our Abba has given him........the light he found at the end of the tunnel........thank you Derek
I love meeting those transformed by His Blood- by His Spirit.....to see the awesome power of the Lord. Our pasts, no matter what they have been like......have made us who and what we are.......and we have to be willing to use our pasts for His glory......I heard once that you cannot have a 'mess'age without the "mess" and you cannot have a 'test'imony without the "test". And as eLi would say.....I would love to hear how the Lord used all of that manure in your life to turn it into His beautiful rose bush.....
I want to let people know that God has a purpose for them......plans to prosper.....not to harm.... plans for a hope and a future.......that He loved them enough to die for them....... Everyone.......will leave or fail us and we will leave or fail someone......somehow, someway......willingly, or not.....in life or in death.....sooner or later.....one day..... but Jesus will NEVER leave nor forsake us.....not EVER. He is with us always......ALWAYS. He is the ONLY one who will never leave us......Thank you precious Abba!
*************

I pray for our troops at least daily.....for those who would give of their lives so we can live free...... We need to thank God for them....we need to lift them and their families up and we need to ask forgiveness for how our Vietnam vets have been treated...... The following is a video of just a couple of us who have had enough of the extreme left....the blind....the obnoxious....the lost....the decieved......Glenn Beck......thank you.

Music:


******* Music I love...... anything christian.....eLi, Bebo Norman, Casting Crowns, Ginny Owens, Mercy Me, Third Day, Mark Schultz, Shane and Shane, Keith Green, John Michael and Terry Talbot, Mary and Wendy, christian latin artists- Eric Lopez, Roberto Orellana, new artists newly found Sons of Korah, Jeremiah Cry and others....too many to mention....although I love folk-type music the most.... I love ANYONE lifting up the name of Jesus!.......Christian metal, Christian rap, Christian "hip hop".......whatever........if it is lifting up the name of our Abba and saviour.......it is a ministry and it belongs to HIM.
****************
This is eLi.......I feel I have known this brother since I first found the Lord (REALLY found Him) in 1988.......his music has been used by the Lord to help mold me into who I am in Christ. He ministers to prisons and homeless shelters and schools......having been homeless and a drug addict himself and he does not push publicity....... enjoy..... Right now he is on sabatical, if you would keep him and his ministry lifted up in prayer. Thank you! Check out eLi's site @ elinews.com ....and his ministry.... *Whomever You Touch* written by eLi....................
"If you strike a man, you strike his flesh for a moment, his heart forever. If you feed a man, you fill his stomach for a moment, his soul forever. If you clothe a man, you clothe his skin for a moment, his dignity for a lifetime. If you kiss a man, it will be as a brother or as a betrayer. If you ignore a man, you ignore God. Where will you leave your fingerprints?"
***********************************
The Underdogs- written by eLi
"I recently visited a small church tucked in the trees and hills of PA. The congregation is maybe one hundred or so members. The building is “well used”. The pastor has been serving his congregation, community and the infamous Graterford Prison inmates for a steady 30 years. There are no fancy signs. He has not written the latest greatest book on success or how to make a bigger church; instead he serves quietly, faithfully, and gently.
By all accounts he is “ordinary” and so are the people in his congregation. They will never be on TV or have their own worship CD in the stores.
Between services I took a walk around the church. I walked by the doors that are too short for any man to walk through upright and the floors are uneven. I found something which use to amaze me but has now become common place in a church like this. I saw bags and boxes of food gathered together, food for someone else. There is food for anybody who has need. There is food for the poor and the forgotten and the tired.
In my life I have found that more often then not it is the poor who help the poor. It is those who hurt that heal. It is those who are broken who mend. It is out of our need and poverty and insecurity that we continue to see clearly the role that God must play in our lives if we are ever to be what God calls us to be, His hands and His feet. Worn, cut, scarred and skilled. Intimately familiar with the process that the Master uses to mold us into His image.
Maybe I love the” ordinary” or “forgotten” or the “underdog” because on some level I always feel like I am one of them. If I am then I am truly blessed! God uses underdogs. May you be used today."

******What Is A Veteran*******
Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.
Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity.
Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem.
You can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet?
He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel.
He is the bar room loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of equisite bravery near the 38th parallel.
She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.
He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL.
He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no- account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs.
He is the parade-riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand.
He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.
He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep.
He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come.
He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being- a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs.
He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, the greatest nation ever known.
So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded.
Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU."
