I am first and foremost devoted to my Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him nothing would be possible, and with Him all things ARE possible, so there is always HOPE in every arena.I LOVE my family. We are tight bonded, well knit together, very loving small family...with many, many spiritual kids whom we love as our own. We have done the best we could with what we knew as young parents. I am proud of my husband and my kids (YES MEGHAN and TYLER this means you too!!) beyond discription...they are my core.
I am a loyal wife,(I love being married to my best friend, my soul mate, my lover, my p.i.a;), mother, gramma, ma, sister, daughter, aunt and friend. I would lay my life down for those I love, and I know they know that. I am an open book, and anyone that knows me, KNOWS me. Sometimes I wish I wasn't as open and trusting as I am, because I've been hurt by my openess, and my trusting character...there are still some knives in my back that I can't reach....Forgiveness is a way of life for me, it has to be....I don't hold back with my love or devotion to those that are important to me. I am passionate in all my feelings, and when I need to make a point I will do all I can to make it. This has gotten me into more trouble than I can say, but I wouldn't do anything different, because to do less would be less than honest, and being honest is who I am. I rarely get angry, but when it happens, everyone know's there's a good reason for it, and most that know me, prefer not to see me in that state... I hate feeling angry, and out of control, it's not an emotion I find attractive, and I repent tremendously when I go there....I am FAR from perfect, not even close! I am generous to a fault. I love to feed the troops, and love having young people in my home, they are all welcome, and they all know it. I have witnessed the miracle of two births, my sons, and been present when 5 of my grandchildren were born. There is no greater miracle. Seeing Devon and Lewis in the NICU will forever blow my mind, so tiny...I've never seen such tiny babies...now they are thriving, thanks to an Awesome God. I have had the honor to be present when both my parents took their last breath. Such a sad moment, heart breaking beyond words, but also a moment that is so close to God...one hand on Mommy and Daddy while they were touching Jesus, going from this world to the next, straddling them both. I wouldn't have it any other way. They were there for me when I took my first breath, I'm thankful I was able to be there for both of them. They knew they were surrounded by love going to LOVE. Praise God. In many ways I think the first day of life is much like the last day, entering a whole new world, both unknown, both loving.
I believe we are in the End Days. The days that the Bible tells us about in the book of Revelation. I believe that we should make every day here count. Drama, hate and discontent..is for this world, and satans biggest victory. I refuse to be part of it, even when dragged into it...Almost, if not all the prophicies have been met. Humanity is more depraved now that it ever was. Just watch the news. See how families are disinigrating.... The time is close...I hope all our loved ones are ready.
I love riding with my Honey on the Harley..spontaneous fun found in the craziest places!
I love plants, and wish more than anything I had a green thumb, but it's not green...I don't know what you'd call it...I tend to kill plants...bummer.
Peepers are the best! I love listening to them, and wish we had a million of them here!
I love floating in Lake Champlain at dusk when the lake is like glass and the sky is a color that only God can make. The mountains, the loons!! such peace and quiet until a fish jumps, playing, looking for a fresh bug....and the small ripples that break the silence. Some of the best memories I hold are of us as a young family on that lake. My parents gave me the love of the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain. We tried to give that back to our kids....I still love them both, the mountains and the lake, and although we don't live on Lake Champlain, we live on a smaller lake, we call the Adirondacks HOME.Myspace Graphics
