To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakable perfect miracle.

About Me:
I am in a time of my life where I feel a little lost. My children are grown and as a stay at home mother I am experiencing the empty nest syndrome a bit. My husband and I travel quite a lot and I enjoy that a great deal. I now am the proud grandparent of 3 beatiful grandchildren which I love to death, ages 4 months to almost 6 years. They bring much joy and love to my life. My husband is wonderful. We just celebrated our 14th year together, and since it is a second marriage, I truly understand how wonderful a great relationship can and should be. I am however finding myself trying to find what to do with myself now. I would not say that I am bored but I do feel a bit useless at times. I seem to have lost the drive to get out very much. We moved to this area 10 years ago and I am still trying to find a friend that I enjoy doing much with and I have become a bit of a recluse. Hopefully, this website will help me to talk with people again and find a freind with common interests. I am from the south and we live in an area with people with different values and ages from ours. People here are nice they are just not our age group. I do love where we live, the weather is perfect and there is a lot to do, I'm just trying to figure out my role in life at this time. Wow this is too much info about me! I guess I do spend too much time alone!! I should have made my screen name Hermit the Crab!! I am a Christian, although I don't attend services very often. My faith in the Lord is strong and I do believe it is his strength that has helped me through the hard times life seems to put in front of you or even the ones we create ourselves. I am very patriotic and I do love this country very much. I am an army brat from the get go. My dad retired when I was thirteen so I do understand all about the military life from a childs point of view. Personally I loved it and it was an incredible shock to me when my dad retired and we settled down in a small town to find that people had lived there all their life as had their families for generations. I loved the nomadic life though and I still do even today. My husband and I both travel a lot around the USA and think of trying a different area only to find we like everywhere we go! We really could adjust anywhere I think. Well enough about me, cause this is far to long and even I am getting bored and its my life! Hope to meet some interesting folks out there and share some stories and lend and ear if need be. I hope that if anyone does read this, they will know above everying I am more than anything grateful that Jesus is my Lord and that he has allowed me in his life even though I am certainly not deserving of it. If you are reading this and you feel empty inside or lost, He will never fail you no matter what you have done. I know because I am a child of his and Lord knows I don't deserve his love. God bless you.

Who I'm Praying For:
My daughter who I know is lost. For the world to once again to understand that without Him we are just empty vessels. Our country and our troops
,
we really need it in these times
,
we have become far to angry and for the youth to have parents who love and guide them in a home filled with respect and forgiveness. For children to have fathers in their life who teach and love them whether they are married or single
,
because the damage left behind by the lack of love or of not being there for their child leaves a mark forever on their kids. Our generation started a very nasty trend of dead beat dads and now almost as bad with mothers. My prayers are for the little ones who are helpless in this world and that they know that they are loved even if they don't know it because many people out there have love in their hearts for those who feel that emptiness in their life.I watched it first hand with my children and now I see it repeating in not just my grandchildren but countless others who have one or more parent that does not have enough love in their hearts to put that child first
,
I pray that God or someone Godly can intervene in that childs life and fill that void.
Tell Us More About Your Faith:
911 really brought my faith to the test when it comes to forgiveness. My faith teaches that it will be God who judges not us. I am still learning. I cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven without going through Christ and believing on him. God will bless you if you let him. I believe that one day the earth will end as we know it and the antichrist will rule before it is destroyed and we the believers will ascend with him into heaven and have everlasting life. I believe God loves everyone and he gives us all free choice. You make the decision to follow or not. He does not care of your color or gender
,
only that you worship Him only. I believe in the Ten Commandments
,
but I also understand that we are not perfect and we break them at times but He will always forgive you if you sincerely ask for it. I believe simply in a loving God.
