I am 38 years old and am the mother of 3 daughters, who are 16, 13, and 11. I was saved as a young girl and have always been an Independent Fundamental Baptist. I am a single mother, working from home as a website designer, trying to keep my priorities on my children. I don’t feel there is any job more important than being a Christian wife and/or mom (Proverbs 31:29), and I believe with all my heart that pouring my life into my family and home is what God wants for women. Titus 2:3-5 says, “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” (emphasis mine) I’m so honored to be a mother and homemaker! It is not drab, boring, or unfulfilling, like many may say it is. I am so thankful that God has allowed me to be a keeper of my home, even though I’m single. God has certainly made a way in the dessert for us.

The girls and I live at Hidden Pines, a house in the woods where fox, bunnies, snakes, hawks, great blue herons, and other assorted birds live. There is an abundance of vegetation, with all sorts of trees and blooming things. We live simply and enjoy being home, spending our time baking, working in the yard, reading, watching movies, taking walks in the woods, while all the time talking and laughing together. We also enjoy being involved in various things at our church, and spending time with our family and friends.

Tim is my wonderful sweetheart of 7 years. He truly is my very best friend and soul mate. He is the kindest and most generous person I have ever met, and is so very good to the girls and I. He is a godly man and an old-fashioned gentleman, and works as the coordinator of the IT department at a college. He is also an accomplished musician, playing 3 instruments, and plays in his own bluegrass band. He lives in another state, and we are unable to be together at this time for some very solid, private reasons. We are trusting God to work everything out in His perfect timing. We know without a doubt that God put us together, and God will bring everything else together at the right moment. We believe that the best things in life are worth the wait! Meanwhile, we are stay very close by phone, instant messenger, and visits as often as possible. I have a small taste of what military wives may be going through.:)

I have been through so many difficult times, and hope that the things I’ve learned through my experiences will bless, help, and encourage you. God is constantly working on me and teaching me many things. I mess up so very often.:( But I hope when I die or He comes again that He can say to me, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14
