About Me

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Author Unknown----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------I guess I can start off by saying that I am a single mother of two wonderful children. Marisa who is 11 years old and Malachi who is 7. I am also a Born Again Christian, who happens to be absolutely in love with the Lord! As many of you know, this was not always the case. I gave my life over to the Lord in May of 2005. Since then my whole life has completely changed! Looking back on where I was a two 1/2 years ago compared to where I am now, WOW, God is faithful! I wont go into the details of how far down I was before God came to my rescue, but if you want to know, feel free to ask me and I will gladly tell you. Because believe me, it took a miracle of God to get me where I am today, and I would be glad to share with anyone who wants to know how they too can have what God has given me! Ok, so back to about me :0)... Well, let's see here. I am currently a full-time student, finishing up the last of my pre-requisites in order to apply for the RN program at Valley College. My family is supporting the kids and I financially, so that I can concentrate on school, and I just got a Mercedes! Ya, life is great. I can honestly say that I am the happiest that I have been in years. Well, gotta go study, lol! BYE... Mighty To Save - United - Hillsong

My Interests

I spend both of my days off work at church,lol! As a matter a fact, I requested to have Sundays and Wednesdays off just so that I dont miss a sermon,lol! I just love to praise and worship the Lord God Almighty! Nothing else in the world compares to way that I feel when He touches me!!! He makes me feel on fire, with a new zest for life!!!

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, so I can run into His arms and give Him a big hug! I just want to run to my father and be His little child!

Music:

I mostly listen to Christian music, but also enjoy listening to secular music that does not dishonor the Lord.

Television:

I dont watch much television,but when I do it is usually something educational. I have a passion for learning about the world around me.

Books:

My all time favorite book is the Bible. I enjoy reading period. Anything I can get my hands on,even if I dont agree with the content,I love to learn about almost anything.

Heroes:

My hero is Jesus Christ, without Him I would still be trapped in utter darkness. Thank You Jesus for your ultimate sacrafice.__________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________A SINGLE PARENT'S PRAYERLord, grant me TIME ENOUGH To do all the chores, Join in the games, Help with the lessons, and say the night prayers* And still have a few moments left for me* ENERGY ENOUGH To be bread-baker and breadwinner, Knee patcher and peacemaker, Ballplayer and bill-juggler* HANDS ENOUGH To wipe away the tears, To reach out when I am needed, To hug and to hold, to tickle and touch* HEART ENOUGH To share and to care, To listen and to understand, And to make a loving home for my family*_____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ My A.D.H.D. Child By Tracy He's bouncin' off walls, a super ball gone insane, He runs through your world like a off-rail freight train, Interruptions are constant, tantrums galore, When it's time to do homework, he's gone, out the door. The drama is constant, oh his foot fell asleep, He moans and he wails, the theatrics run deep, School is a nightmare, the teachers are lost, If they only could see, he is worth the cost.He is brighter than most, as most kids are, And with patience and love, I know he'll go far, But what I must take from well meaning friends Don't let him do that. Oh these rules that he bends.You're not a good parent. Your child's really rude. His temper's Outrageous. He has hands in his food. He hears this and wonders, just what's wrong with me? I tell him, You're special, you have A.D.H.D.Now A.D.H.D. is a gift from above, It teaches us grown-ups how to strengthen our love. It helps to teach your teachers, no two kids are the same. You have awesome energy that could bring you great fame.You don't need much sleep, you never wear down. You're silly and funny, when you act like a clown. You've felt lots of pain from what people have said, But you pray for those people when you go to bed.So you try every day to make a fresh start, For God gifted you with an extra big heart. As I look at my child, he sees through my soul, My heart feels like busting, as I realize my goal.I know this boy like no one else could, He's a blessing to me, he's strong and he's good. So I'll love him and guide him through the worst of the worst, And he'll make a great man (if I don't kill him first).I'm kidding of course 'cause I know what's to be, When I look in his eyes, I see a reflection of me._________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven." When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ 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 need His strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
