More About Me

Most opinions today will widely vary on what a Christian is. First for me it means that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, I have been buried in baptism for the remission of sins (full immersion). Yes I know big debate with many denominations. Second point I follow the Holy Bible believing that it is the Word of God “God Breathed” unchangeable, infallible, do not add to or take away from. You will not see me in a picket line against the political and social issues of today. You may see me engaged in conversation with family, friends, or strangers, doing my best to spread the Good News. You will not see me hating a group or person for their personal choices or trying in any way to force or enforce my beliefs on others or to ever pass judgment on others. I have loved ones from all walks of life and I pray for them and do my best to be a witness for God. However to me it is important to bear the fruits of the spirit and to absolutely allow each and every person on this planet to make their own free will choices for their life. I have seen hatefulness and judgment being passed off as Christian and it makes me sad and a little angry. The hatefulness and judgment out there is what gets portrayed the most in the media. That is not who I am or who the people that I go to church with are. It is most important that each individual learn about Jesus and then if they choose to live their life for Him that they take it one step at a time. Change is very hard and even though you gain your salvation and forgiveness when you accept Him and get baptized you do not change instantly on the inside. That happens over a lifetime of choosing to stay on His path by studying, praying, fellowship, and spreading the Good News to others. All of this is of course done with God’s help and guidance, it’s all in your Bible if you stick with it and ask for help when you need it.

I love being a wife and am very blessed to have Matt as my husband and best friend. We hope to have children someday soon but it has not happened yet. I love taking care of people, husband first, then family, then friends.

Keeping In Touch

Well I have done a poor job over the years of keeping in touch with a lot of my friends and relatives. Some local and some long distance. The end result, I have actually lost some of them. I have recently emerged from a long sleepwalk through life, some of it was depression and some physical illness. No matter what the reason there are casualties. I can't blame anyone for disappearing on me, because my lack of involvement over the years has yielded this result. I took the friendships for granted and thought they would always be there and now some are gone. So now I am doing my best to foster or rekindle existing relationships. Attention friends new and old I will do better from here on out. Life is going to keep going with or without me. So I am now actively participating. I am new to the world of blogging but I think that it will be a great start in helping me keep in touch.
