About Me

I moved to Indianapolis, IN in 2007. Prior to that I was living in Nashville, TN for 8.5 years. Prior to that I was in Oklahoma for a significant amount of time. The 8.5 years in Nashville were absolutely the best ever, but also the most painful and difficult in my life. I learned in those 8.5 years how badly I need God, and how He is truly my anchor. I knew that earlier in life, but I guess over time you can grow comfortable in Truth and forget the reality of it in your life. I was reminded almost every day for 8 years how without God I am nothing and cannot survive this life without Him. It is because of Him I have hope. It is because of Him I am alive. It is because of Him I am happy. He has answered so many of prayers...prayers I have prayed for over 12 years of my life. One prayer that was answered was by this amazing man He brought into my life...Kevin. Amazing! Simply amazing!

I got my Myspace layout from pYzam .

His Ways and My Ways
