The Sweet Voice of Pinelake

A woman becomes a woman when she becomes what God wants her to be. -Lady in Waiting

About Me

My name is Shannon Semmes Ingram. I live in Flowood, MS but grew up in Meridian. I have lived in the Jackson area for 5 years. My family is kind of spread out. I have 4 older sisters, one lives in Meridian as do my parents. One lives in Hattiesburg, one in Petal and the other in Brandon which is about 15 minutes from where I live. I have 15 nieces and nephews who I love dearly. They are my precious angels...even the older ones who have children themselves. Even though my family is spread out, we get together at least once a month at my parents. I am a die hard NASCAR fan. My favorite Driver is Dale Earnhardt Jr. My family is Hendrick Motor Sports fans because several of us have favorite drivers from that team. My priorities are God, Nascar, family then friends. Just Kidding, I wouldn't really put Nascar in front of my family although at times I might want to. I work for Pinelake Church, Reservoir Campus, as the Receptionist and Wedding Director. I have a strong relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and live my life to glorify Him. I'm not claiming to be perfect...just the opposite. I'm a sinner just like everyone else. I'm in church so I can learn how to live my life the way I should.Layout made by

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Chris Daughtry and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Shannon's Not-So-Random Thoughts for the Day
____________________________________________________________ _________________ 10-28-08 *** The Sweet Voice of Pinelake realized how out of shape she was after going through the Corn Field Maze today at the Pumpkin Patch. I had fun and enjoyed my time with the office ladies. ____________________________________________________________ _________________ 10-16-08 *** Obama is not qualified to run this country. He is a liar and is doing his best to fool everyone, especially the liberals. He claims he is a Christian but he is really a Muslim. As I spoke with a friend today, I realized I have to change the way I pray. May God be glorified in everything I do and I pray that He protects me and all His faithful believers like he protected the Isreallites in the Land of Goshen. ____________________________________________________________ _________________ _10-13-08*** The new has worn off but the charm is still there and I still get butterflies. With every smile, every little laugh, every sweet word and all the kind gestures. God is molding us into the people he wants us to be. I'm just glad we are experiencing it together. ____________________________________________________________ __________________ 9-20-08 *** There is no room for arrogance in my life. I don't care who you are...you can check it at the door. ____________________________________________________________ ___________________ 9-9-08 *** Proverbs 19:22 "Loyalty makes a person attractive. It is better to be poor than dishonest." *** Yea!! Hurricane Ike is not coming our way after all. My birthday weekend will be perfect! ____________________________________________________________ ___________________ 9-8-08 *** It looks like Hurricane Ike might ruin my birthday plans with Jason. I'm not too happy about that but maybe the course will change yet again (as it has 4 times today)and miss us. As long as I get to spend time with Jason Friday night, I will be happy, hurricane or not. *** Well the Chase is on!! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, the Chase is the last 10 races of the NASCAR season. Only the top 12 in points can compete in the championship. Jr is ranked 4th out of 12. This is the most exciting part of the season and I'm so happy for Jr. ***Work today was pretty good except for people wanting to push their jobs onto me because they don't want to walk downstairs and I'm already down here. Men...some are wonderful but some are just plain lazy. Then again I can say the same thing for women. I've had the same thing happen with both. Some people just love to pawn their stuff on me and make it look like an innocent gesture but they really have other self serving reasons. I got ya'lls numbers!!!! ____________________________________________________________ __________________9-7-08 ***

___________________________________________________________ 8-28-08 *** Preparing for Hurricane Gustav. If he continues on the path set, he will be here Tuesday morning and I will be riding it out at my sisters house in Crossgates Brandon. We are already filling up our cars with gas and buying food and supplies. What fun!!!! ___________________________________________________________ 8-5-08 *** Life is great but bitter sweet. Two good friends are leaving Pinelake to pursue other endeavors. I have a great guy in my midst but he's out of town during the week for a couple more weeks. Thank Goodness for Friday and Sundays. I'm irritable due to lack of communication from some, but that's ok, I took care of that. You know Shannon lets it be known what her thoughts are if it involves anything to do with her or if she just happens to hear the conversation. Gosh I despise whiners. But I hope the Lord covers Jason with patience for having to hear me whine at times...ha ha ha. He really is a wonderful guy. God is looking out for me like He always does. "I'm In Better Hands Now" ___________________________________________________________ 8-4-08 *** "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Phil 2:3-4 ___________________________________________________________ 7-29-08 *** I received a dozen Burgundy Roses from my good friend Jason today... "Just Because" he wanted to. I really didn't think there was a guy out there worthy of me or who could measure up to my expectations but I think I'm about to be proved wrong. I don't think a guy, a Med Student no less, who knows what I'm all about would send me expensive roses just as a friendly gesture unless I was really special to him and he really cared for me. I will seek guidance from my Father in Heaven and see where it goes from here. Regardless, I have a great guy in my midst. He makes me smile and laugh like no other. I guess I better keep him around a while. ___________________________________________________________ 7-9-2008 *** Some people just really get on my nerves!!!! You give them an inch and they want a mile. They see themselves "better than" and it gets worse as the years go by. You got a promotion, not the presidency!!!! Don't be a Diva 'cause you are nowhere near that. Grow up and realize you are no better than anyone else here. __________________________________________________________ 7-7-08 *** "Life is satisfying only when you diligently serve the Lord, whatever your circumstances." __________________________________________________________ 7-2-2008 *** Wise are those who have discovered that a man or woman, husband or wife, cannot make them happy...only Jesus can. God controls everything; the good and the bad. Be happy with what you have because it could always be a lot worse. __________________________________________________________ 7-1-08 *** I'm going to taste every moment and live it out loud 'cause this is the time of my life and I'm in better hands now. *** __________________________________________________________ 6-30-08 *** I found a cute house that I'm interested in looking at and it seems to be in a great neighborhood too. I hope it's still available two months. *** __________________________________________________________
