About Me

I am 40 years old and am the mother of 3 daughters, who are 18, 15, and 13. 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 believe children desperately need their mothers, no matter what their ages are.  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 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 desert for us.  I realize that not many single mothers have been able to remain at home like I have.

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.

I have a wonderful sweetheart, who lives in another state.  Due to finances and other things, we don’t get to visit each other as often as we used to.   I am thankful for phones and video chats to keep us connected.  I am thankful I have my sweetheart to help me in many ways and to love me.  Many single mothers don’t have this.  But it is very painful to be living so far away from each other, especially for as long as we have.  I hope that the Lord will see fit for us to be together soon.

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 and am far from perfect.  But I hope when I die or He comes again that He can say to me, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
