About Me
Hello!
I am excited to visit with a few new people that have lived "real" lives or should I say survived! LOL I have a huge heart, usually worn out on my shirt sleeve, but tend to try to rationalize most of my thinking. (I'm working on this) I have discovered sometimes we aren't supposed to be able to make sense out of every detail, that is why it is called FAITH!
I am not a churchy person, in fact I don't want to join any church at all because I hate the politics, clicks, false fellowships, ect. I prefer to meet people on a one to one level and share and get to know someone. I hate serving in the kitchen, enjoy a good bible study but don't want to commit to one forever. I like going to church and being free to just be there, listen, sing, praise, and worship. I don't need to attend a church to measure my commitment to the Lord. I don't want someone to call me if I miss a Sunday or judge if I am a "good" member.
All that being said, I love to sing. All kinds of music but especially gospel, country, blue grass, and even some more modern contemporary stuff. I used to sing with a Praise and Worship group and loved it, but was very let down by the members I sang with later.
I have lived though many trials, but I do not buy into the idea that if you have endured traumatic events in your life it will shorten your life. I believe it all depends on how you decide to handle the stresses in your walk through this life.
I believe we all have lessons to learn while we are here for our life's journey. I believe that each of us have different lessons for different reasons. I believe we are to help ourselves and our fellow man (or woman) if that is where we are called to be. I believe that there is definitely a heaven and I am not sure how or what I believe hell is. I am not sure it matters. What matters is the positive effects you have on this life.
I believe that our Higher Power comes to us blind and deaf to our short comings and current beliefs. They wait ever so patiently for us to walk our journey's and come to terms with them. In short they come to us on our terms and wait for us to come to theirs.
I love my family and living this life as in a challenge to see what kind of positive effects I can make from this point on, (you have to start that every day or every half hour sometimes) but I look forward to death. I don't mean I want to die, I mean I look forward to the Lord calling me home to rest in the peace of His care and unconditional love. I look forward to seeing my loved ones that have past before me and know when He decides it is time, it will be wonderful.
Whewww, that was all pretty heavy. But as you can see I am not afraid to share! LOL
