Who Am I?

I’m a first-born child. I came with the stereotypical characteristics of that role ingrained in my DNA. I am a people-pleaser with perfectionist work ethics who tends to want (OK, need) things organized. Clutter is my irritation in life. My brain tends to not function well while in the midst of clutter. Yet, I look around at my office right now and see numerous piles of stuff. Maybe I’m improving.

I love to read, to study, and to know more. Studying the Bible is one of my passions. Each word is important, and I want to know why. I have been reading books (you know, the paper kind) for as long as I can remember.

I LOVE to travel. this desire comes from being an Army brat and moving a lot! I attended five different schools in the second grade.

I describe myself as a friendly, outgoing introvert. What? God has taken me from an extremely shy child to a confident older adult. I enjoy people in small doses, but I must re-charge my energy alone.

How did I gain this confidence? Through a baby named Megan that God sent to me as my first-born child. Then, through cancer of my loved ones. Through deaths. Through struggle. With each trial, He taught me to walk in faith with Him each moment of each day. He stretched the small faith at age six, when I accepted His free gift of salvation, into a much larger faith that knows He is present with me always. Then, one day, I will enter His presence for eternity.

Why Do I Write?

God told me to tell my story; so, in obedience, here I go.

Why my story? Oh, there are so many reasons; but I’ll get to those soon. In a nutshell, I have been through some events that people may call devastating. However, God brought me through each one of them, showing me His strength, and giving me endurance to persevere.

I’m not a writer, but I write. I pray you hear God’s message and overlook the imperfections.
