About me...hmmm...well, nothing fancy that's for sure. I am a simple girl who loves the Lord and my family. I am a "stay at home" mom who does her best to homeschool two of my children. I live out in the country (well, some of my friends would say out in the middle of nowhere) and I love it here. Life moves a little slower and that's good because most of the time life flies by and if you aren't careful, you will miss the really good stuff. God has truly blessed me and I dont want to take any of it for granted. I don't claim to be a writer, so pardon the grammar and typos....I just want to share my heart with others. I hope you will enjoy what you find here. God Bless!!!

About Me

I am a very simple person.  I don't need a lot of fancy things.  Now don't get me wrong....I am female, so I do love to shop, its just that I don't need lots of stuff.  As long as I have my God and my family, I am happy. I love all my family-not just my immediate family.  There are the friends I consider family, my family of believers in Christ,  and my church family.

On March 27, 1999 I married Travis and he truly is the love of my life.  God truly blessed me when he brought us together.  He is a wonderful husband and father.  If you know me very well, then you know I am a very emotional person.  I cry so easily and over the least little things.  I cry tears of sadness, anger,  and joy!!!  It's ok, I can admit I am a "sap" because I know that God made me this way for a reason.  None of His works are by accident.  The word says He knows every hair on my head, and I guess He know every tear too!

I have 5 children - 3 of which I gave birth to and 2 that God has allowed me to be a part of their life, to love and cherish like my very own.  They all have equal places in my heart.  I love them, cry with them, worry over them, and pray for them the same.

In my spare time (oh yeah, right..lol) as a stay at home mom I love to read.  I also love music.  It plays somewhere in my house almost nonstop....even when we are sleeping.  I truly believe that God speaks to me through lyrics.  Certain songs seem to touch my heart.  I realize they are saying something that I so desperately needed to hear...or that someone I know needs to hear!!  I also love to sign worship songs.  It is such an amazing form of worship for me.  I am "self taught" basically except for some help from some very dear friends in VA.  I want to continue to learn more and more...  Sometimes the spirit will come over me and I will end up on my knees and never finish signing the song.  God is amazing!!

I went to school to teach because it has been what I wanted to do ever since I was a little girl.  I don't teach in an official classroom, but I do home school my two youngest children.  I also try and take any opportunity to teach others around me.  It is a wonderful feeling to the face of child when the understand something new. 

What else do I like to do?  I enjoy being with my family and friends.  I love to do things outdoors...we explore the woods, ride bikes and I love to run.  That is my newest hobby.  Just recently I completed my first 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles)....and I was AWESOME!  I don't get to run much in the winter, but look out when spring comes!  Well, I guess I have rambled on enough about me!!!

My daily prayer is for God to use someone ordinary like me to do something extraordinary for HIS GLORY!  Be blessed......


Serving Him,
