About Me


I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I'll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else.
Or brains even?
Oh gosh, yes, brains is one of the least. You can be a lovely person without brains, absolutely lovely. Kindness - that simple word. To be kind - it covers everything, to my mind.
If you're kind that's it.

*** Many people search blindly for "the meaning of life".
What they dont seem to understand is that life does not have meaning through mere existence or acquisition or fun.
The meaning of life is inherent in the connections we make to others through honor and obligation.
My greatest wish is that while we are on this earth, is that we love one another, and enjoy all the blessings God has put into our lives.
You will have more peace in your heart when your closest relationship is with God.
Hold on to the ones you love closely and cherish them...time is literally flying by! ***

My husband......
Thank you for loving me unconditionally,
supporting me, and letting me fly.
I couldnt imagine my life without you.
You are my hero, my protector,
and especially my best friend.
I couldnt ask for more in a man,
a husband, or a father.
You have spoiled me with love -
and thoughtfulness~
I love you with all of my heart. XOXOXOXO

My Interests



This video touches my heart every time I watch it. This life seems like such a long road, but in Gods perspective its but a blink of an eye. My prayer is for you to know Jesus. We ALL make mistakes and fall short some time in our life...I know I have. The only person that was ever perfect to walk this earth was Jesus. The only person who judges our sins and our heart will be Him. He died for us because He loves us! Jesus DIED for you and ME! All He wants is for you to ask for Him to be part of your life, and accept the gift He gave! - My challenge to you, is to get down on your knees, and pray to Him with all your heart. He will answer you, I promise. Life without him can be depressing and without hope and at times pointless.... Men will fail eachother - we are human. He never faileths... He lifts me up. He helps me get through each day and gives me hope. I feel loved and safe when I am with Him. I want and pray this for you!

Christian site
with great resources for ALL! I love listening to the daily broadcasts. They are all only about 20 minutes long, and you can listen to them while you are online, cooking dinner, or doing dishes...etc...

Television:

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥


We don't watch tv/have cable. I really dont have time for it. People talk to me about American Idol, or Survivor - Im clueless really. If one day we can pick the stations we want - I might join the cable community again. We rent movies and watch them on the weekends. My husband loves action films, where I am more into drama, comedies, and documentaries....we still watch them together though!

Books:



The Bible - trying to read it in a year. www.bibleinayear.org sends me an email every day- check it out!

I like to read books that help improve our lives. Parenting, marriage, healing, etc.

We read a lot of books as a family. I also read a lot of great books with my son, though he is completely capable of reading all on his own. He is our little book worm.

Heroes:


my hero
my Lord & Savior,
Jesus Christ.
I can never
put to words
how grateful I am
- to love &
be loved so much.

something new.

Thank you

would not be
the same
without you fun
and crazy people!!!
