It's pretty hard for the Lord to guide you if you haven't made up your mind which way you want to go

About Me

I am a 7th and 8th grade teacher in Nashville, TN with no children and no pets--even though I love animals. I hail from the small town of Halls, TN--near Jackson. Even though I am single, I do date...don't like it very much, but I date anyway...I love to write poetry, listen to GOOD music--which ranges from gospel to classical to R&B to alternative to hard rock!!! It is whatever I am feeling at the moment, you know? Anyway, I love life, my job--yes the teenagers, my family, my friends, and chillin. I am a definite homebody--watching good movies, making something good to eat--somewhat of a health nut, listening to music with the only light in the room being candles, and good conversation. I am easy-going, affectionate, a lover of long walks, and a cuddler--hey! snuggling is great..:) I am a HUGE fan of GOD!!!! OH YEAH!!! HE AND I GO WAAAAAAAAAAY BACK!! CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT HIM NOR DO I WANT TO!! Be blessed...:) **ATTENTION** I was reading my daily devotion today and thought it was SOOO awesome that I HAD to put this on here! I pray that it blesses you!!! Ephesians 2:1-10 And you he made alive, when you were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God--not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

My Interests

Music--all kinds!! Poetry, Singing, Dancing, Bowling, Movies, Stepping, Driving, Theme Parks--especially rollercoasters. I am also interested in motivational speaking--the ins and outs of it, how to get into it, etc. I would love to publish a book of poetry...that would be hot...
You Are a Visionary Soul
You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness.
Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul.
You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable.
Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.

You have great vision and can be very insightful.
In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself.
Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend.
You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.

Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet someone who has a lot of the same interests as I do, but who has a lot of great things to introduce me to. I want someone who is spiritual and puts GOD first in his life...I would say I want a "good man", but a great guy named Jamal on blackplanet said it best when he said that he did not want to be called a good man...he is a good man. He said ..."I rejected calling myself a "good man" and started calling myself Jamal." I love it brotha!!! I want a man who can stand on his own, who does not need me or me need him, but we want each other and will do our best to be the best for each other in our relationship together. I also want someone who will not only love me and like me but who will be my best friend! **UPDATE** I have met that someone!! He is everything that I want and more! I pray that it continues to grow in the way only GOD can grow it! His name is Willie, and I love him dearly... love you babe! :o) **I also cannot wait to meet GOD! Don't get me wrong--I am not wishing for death ANY time soon, but when it gets here, I want HIM to come and get me and take me to HEAVEN! I don't want to know how hot hell is...not something I want to know firsthand...sorry! I would love to meet Oprah Winfrey, Angela Bassett, Les Brown, and Jessie Jackson. ..

Music:

Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Classical, Alternative, Hard Rock, Rap, and HipHop ..

Movies:

Television:

Books:

Bible, Mystery, Romance, Spiritual, Self-Betterment, and Dirty

Heroes:

Jesus, Grandparents, Daddy, Mrs. Jarrett, Aunt Sherri, Cousin Rodney, my younger brother Ricky Jr., Uncle Terry, Aunts Sandra & Bettye, Mrs. Gara Strong--6th grade language/writng teacher, Mr. Porter--high school chemistry teacher, Mr. Bales--high school biology teacher, Mr. Kean--high school Algebra I, II, Geometry, & Pre-Cal teacher; and Mrs. Patty Buckner--my 1st grade teacher (she believed in my abilities as a good reader even when the tests said I had a reading problem). I think that my Daddy is the best man ever! He has been through SOOOO MUCH; he stands firm on his spirituality, his love for his family, and just being the man that GOD created him to be! I love him more than any person on this earth! I thank GOD for him EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
