I am a proud wife and mother of 4. I am a Christian. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I recently started a Charity that benefits children. Please see our website.

My greatest fear is that I would miss the mark and not accomplish that God has called me to do.I can to only look back to find and use the wisdom I have gained from lessons learned, and to cherish the special moments I was blessed to have. That is not always so easy and I wish I could do better.
What really matters to me is to fulfill my purpose here, and to give much more than I take. I am cursed with my humanness, so I learned long ago to call on a greater strength. That still doesn’t make me a super hero, but it’s helped me get through this time. I met Jesus when I was 4 years old after coming back from my drugged up parents room all alone in the middle of the night, fearing the nightmare of a dark creature would meet me in my room. It was only then that I met a glowing Angelic being to tuck me in and calm me to sleep. I couldn’t even see his face because of the great light, and the peace that I found in his presence was so reassuring, that I didn’t need to know anything. I was safe. That is what I needed to know. I continued to face many terrible trials in my life. I wondered why I was even brought into (time) existence. I have many scars and even today as blessed as I am, I struggle and need so much grace. I am often in great pain these days, but so far nothing has befalled me, nor threatens to send me to my eternal home.
I wanted to be more in this life. To do more with the time I have here. I want to help all the little girls and boys that suffered as I did. I am so tired of this life being about ME! I am still trying to make a difference, and I believe strongly that we should make every day count. I try so hard to be all that I should be and to rely on my Saviour.
What do I do when I experience the weight of my failures? I pray, read the Bible, sing, sometimes I even dance, I write, I read some more, and on the rarest of occassions I share my point of view. I try to forgive myself &
I long for the day that I finally see Him face to face.
I am living for eternity. I’ve tried so hard to do everything right. I don’t understand why things are the way they are, but in those times of suffering when I want to just through in the towel, I remind myself that I have a greater purpose. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.
I remind myself that in the scheme of things, we are only here for a speck of time in the vast length of all eternity. It doesn’t always feel like it, but my time here is so very short. I thank Him for the strength to make it through each day and for all the blessings I am given along the way.
In closing I would have to say that I fear ME. That monster in the closet has become someone I can’t run away fromm ME. I feel haunted by my failures here. I believe in God’s favor and provisions, but somehow I am successful in few endeavors in life that I whole heartedly believe in. I find myself saying, Did i miss it? Is this what I was called to do? to be? Will my mistakes keep me from fulfilling my calling? Am I really seeking Him with a whole heart? Will I have enough talents to show Him that I wisely invested in what He gave?
Oh, I pray that I do not disappoint Him!
Please help me Jesus. Please don’t let me disappoint you.
Phil 1
19 for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.
May he bless all who read and the special people He sends my way, until we meet Him!
CREATIVE EXPRESSION:
When the beauty that this world holds so dear fades, Your love remains. It is not a love that runs skin deep, nor is it about popularity or success. I am akward and broken, full of faults and failures, but You love me even still. You are nearer to me, so I embrace my weekness.For it is in my weekness that I learn to fully depend on You. I am week, but You are strong. You are not my admirer, You are my lover. You see my heart and love me unconditionally. You cover me and make me whole. You make me beautiful. Not by the world's standards.Your love is not critical, and not only does this love cover me, it helps me find deliverence from my faults. This makes me search for you even more. How I long to find you in the deep. As one You treasure and hold dear help me to bring my brothers and sisters to love You,to understand Your deep love for them, but most of all help me to love you and receive your love more and more and more. This means I must love them as you do. By Your Grace I will remember to always honor the privelage of bearing Your Name. Oh, my heart can't wait to run away with you! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Divine Your glory so Divine! Heaven and earth exclaim, Your glory so Divine. As I walk the earth Your hope running deep that this generation once lost will be once and forevermore free. Oh Great, mighty and awesome God let me not forget to tremble. Let Your glory fall Oh Lamb of God. Your throne is exhaulted above all. Above all creation YOU are above all. Be exaulted My Beautiful Bridegroom. Be exhaulted my Love.
Could a poor concubine like I bring a King, The One and only true King the Glory to you that's do. No, only through you. All together lovely, all together Holy, all together so beatiful, so wonderful to me. You are Holy! Holy! Holy! You are Holy. Oh Love of my life and my One true Love of all time. You are Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy, and divine. Your love is so divine. Your love is so divine!
Who I'd like to meet:
I pray that I am always at His appointed place and time, so that I meet who God wills me to meet! For we were all called for such a time as this.
Selfishly I woud like to run in to a few "Yes" people, Great men and women of faith & Someone wierder than me!..lol!
