Bio
Well, I live in Kings Mtn. NC. I'm 36 years old. I've always said I want to write a book called the Life of the Defeated Christian, because that's what I feel like I lived until I was 31. I was saved at five, and if you knew everything I've done in my life, you'd question it. But, I don't. I 'm the lost sheep, stubborn donkey, and many other things. But, I praise God because Romans 8:28 tells me if I'm called, it all works for the good. I am called, and I love Him. I hated school. As a product of divorce, all I ever wanted was to be a wife and a mother. And at the age of 17 I became a mother, and two months later I became a wife. My mother raised me in a Christian home. I just thought I could skip the necessary path, and it would turn out OK. After 6 years my husband and I divorced. So at the age of 24 I was mom to a six year old, and divorced. Not what I had planned. Through God's mercy, my husband (Mark) agreed to go on a date with me!! (True story) His son Adam was eight and Meagan was seven. Mark had full custody of his son Adam. We decided we weren't going to have children, and again by God's grace after three years of marriage our daughter Chloe was born. So we have a 18, 17,and 7 yr. old!! And we are tired!! We work in our church's young adult class. Our church is www.chapelgrove.com, and our class site is vision.chapelgrove.com. Please sign our guestbook. I became intimate with God through service to Him. I believed all my life, that I wasn't whole on my own, I had to be completed by another. I'm just over these past few years "getting it". I've got to be whole in me FIRST. PRAISE GOD!! I didn't go to college. I hated school anyway. My spiritual gift is Mercy, and if your's isn't, then I apologize in advance I'll always tell you why we should see everybody's side, and show compassion. I'm sorry, that's who I am. I've went from clerical job to clerical, because if you don't have an education, you're choices are limited. I worked at a company for seven years, they shut down. All during this same time, my grandmother passed. It was Christmas Eve '03. Something happened in my life when she passed, I can't say exactly. We were really close, and she loved God. I was convinced God wanted me to be a stayathome Mom. It was all I wanted, and the months I was unemployed I loved it. We couldn't afford it, and I went to work, and I hated it. But, through that and everything I went through, I learned very important lessons, one being pray blessing for your enemies, submission to authority. Well, I learned of another job, I wasn't qualified, and I knew it. Some how, I got it! It was truly a miracle. Within about three months, I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown, I couldn't handle it. I finally prayed "God I'm letting go" I was fired within a week. Well, again I believed God didn't want me in an 8:00-5:00 job, but this time I'd changed. I'm in many ministries at my church, and felt God was opening doors. Within two months, a gentleman at my church asked me if I'd come to work for him. I was DEVESTATED. Which began me writing the song "God Move" because I wanted a miracle. Didn't happen at that time. and thus......................... began my songwriting. It's sort of bad, the words start coming and I have to get paper, and shove under whatever I'm doing at "work". I like all styles, bluegrass, some southern gospel, love rock. My favorite group a million times over is Tait. But, God gives me all genres when I write. I won runner up at Crabbfest '06 for one of my songs. I really wanted to win, because of the doors I felt might be opened. But, I know the doors just might be windows. I have to desire God's will. This has all been started in February '06, so I know He's in it. I love the Lord, and my prayer for my life is to Accept His Love and give it. Favorite Scripture Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceptive and beauty if fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. My favorite Mission Project is the Salvation Army's Homeless Shelter. I drink minimum 2 pots of coffee daily.
