What does freedom mean to you?
Freedom to me is being able to do what I want within reason without consequence. Living in this country there is alot of freedom like that! Many have fought and died so we can have the freedom we have.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

What do you do to be involved in the community?
The way I am involved in community is through my church. I go to church, attend a prayer meeting and fold bulletins on Thursdays. There is more I could be doing but I’m doing what I can right now. There are a lot of leadership vacancies in the church and I have thought about filling one but worry about becoming overwhelmed. I have been praying about it.
Luke 22:26
26But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
What are your favorite emojis?
My favorite emojis are 🙏🤗😘🎶🐾😴💤❤️❤️🔥. I use these about every day when saying goodnight to my Aunt.
Last night I found a good movie on YouTube called Hoovey. It was a wholesome positive movie about a young man overcoming a fight with a brain tumor and persuing his dream of playing basketball. Lately I have been finding positive movies on YouTube another one was Fat Chance which was about an overweight young woman’s struggle to find love. I like how these movies include spirituality and prayer in them.

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?
I would say the last big risk I took was buying a house versus renting an apartment. When I first moved to Idaho we looked at rentals and they just wanted too much money. First and second months rent plus a hefty pet deposit. I decided why not talk to a realtor and see if I could find a house. God answered our prayers and I found a realtor who found me my current home. I had enough money to put down a decent down payment from the sale of the Texas house. I’m glad I took the chance.
11 I have seen something else under the sun:
The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
A decision I made that helped me grow was going back to church and becoming a Christian this past year. I had stopped going to church for a long time. The whole 12 years I lived in Texas and part of the time I lived in Delaware. I was a pagan for all that time. I was raised Roman Catholic and became disenchanted with it and stopped going. My ex and I used to go but felt like we didn’t belong. Since making the choice to allow Christ to be my savior I have made friends and church family at Grace Bible Church in Middleton. I am not alone anymore! I am finding my way with the help of my family and church family. There is a little part of me that is still reserved but I am learning to surrender. I have always believed in Jesus just hadn’t completely surrendered to him.
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength
What is your favorite restaurant?
I would have to say my favorite restaurant is the Sunrise Cafe here in Middleton. Their food is consistently good and they know me! They notice when it’s been awhile since I’ve been in. I like their 2 egg special that comes with 4 pieces of bacon, hash browns, sour dough toast and 2 eggs over medium. My uncle teases me about ordering the same thing every time! Sometimes they have special pancakes like red velvet or lemon flavors. They close at 2 pm which I think is nice for the people working there.
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?
I don’t really have a favorite Olympic sport – I enjoy whatever is being broadcasted on the networks. I feel like whatever is being broadcasted is what they want us to be rooting for. Like when Michael Phelps was going for more gold medals I feel like my favorite sport was watching him with all the hype that was being given to him.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
My Aunt wrote this and I think it’s beautiful and I wanted to share it with you:
Poem of Salvation
Frightened and lost in a very dark Place
Jesus had mercy and showed me His Grace.
His love was so strong, it shone like the Sun
His light is still burning, it’s only Begun.
The years have passed by with countless blessings, it’s True
No greater love and forgiveness my heart ever Knew.
I thank you dear Jesus for hearing my Cry
My life would be empty and passing me By.
Eternity’s promise is here for us All
Just open your heart and answer His Call.
Hello to you. I’m experiencing a little frustration about my experience with the VA. I just found out I’m losing my counselor in a couple months- same thing happened with my psychiatrist! It keeps happening! They are interns that graduate and move on and then a new doctor switches in. It’s frustrating because I have to keep starting over! The positive thing is may be a new perspective will be helpful – I will just have to see.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!
What makes me laugh? I laugh at comedians like Gabriel Iglesias – he is my favorite! It doesn’t matter how many times I watch his shows I always laugh. Another one is Sebastian Maniscalco. I’m the type of person who goes to a comedy show and laugh embarrassing loud! Live comedy is a lot of fun. I laugh at potty humor pretty easily!
I went to physical therapy today and I am really weak in my glutes and core. She gave me some exercises to do to regain some strength. I see her again in May so I will have some time to work on things between now and then. She was really informative.
Today is Good Friday, it’s always been hard to understand what was so good about such a solemn chain of events. Our church is having a service this evening at 6 pm.
33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”
