26 Dec 2023 Favorite Car

What is your all time favorite automobile?

I would have to say my all time favorite car is the Sting Ray Corvette. One of my favorite memories is my Dads best friend David letting me drive his. I sat so low in it! I can’t remember the color I think it was green.

Psalm 16:11New International Version

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

23 Dec 2023 1968

Share what you know about the year you were born.

The biggest thing I know about the year I was born was the death of Martin Luther King on 4 April 1968 and Robert F . Kennedy on June 6 1968. I can only imagine how this must have affected my family who were avid supporters of equal rights. The year I was born was a tumultuous time!

Philippians 4:6-8New International Version

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

21 Dec 2023 Happy

When are you most happy?

I would have to say I’m the most happy being in good company and good food. I like to eat and enjoy sharing a meal with family and friends. The holidays is the best time for all of that! This past Thanksgiving and most recently our family Christmas party were great examples of what I mean.

Psalm 16:11New International Version

11 You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

13 Dec 2023 First Day

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

My first day at work was at Travis Afb and the first person I met was the man I would eventually marry! He was at work early and so was I. He kept me company while I waited to inprocess to the base. He was very handsome and charming.

Hebrews 10:24-25New International Version

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

10 Dec 2023 Admiration

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?

Something that sparks my admiration in others is thoughtfulness. I have people in my life that are extremely thoughtful and pray and look out for others. I used to be a lot more thoughtful than I am now. It takes a lot of energy to be thoughtful. I mostly pray for people now than do or buy things to show I’m thinking of them.

Ephesians 4:32New International Version

32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

7 Dec 2023 Positive

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

I would have to say the most positive event that has happened this past year is joining a prayer team at church. We have built a wonderful support system that we pray over the church and pray over eachother. Having this support system has been helping me get through some challenges I have been facing this year. Having this group has encouraged me to get more into the Bible.

The other positive events were spending the holidays with family like my first Thanksgiving with my cousin. There is a lot of family here!

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

4 Dec 2033 Eating Meat

What are your feelings about eating meat?

My feelings about eating meat is guilt most times. I know that most meat animals in commercial farms suffer horrible living conditions. I eat meat with gratitude for the lives given so that I might live.

Isaiah 11:6-9New International Version

6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[a]together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.

27 Nov 2023 Dream

This morning I had a dream with my Aunt and my Dad in it. It’s the first dream I’ve had with my Dad since his passing. I was so happy to see him. From what I’ve learned from watching mediums like Matt Fraser, our loved ones reach us through dreams. I don’t remember specifically what the dream was about as it happened just for a few seconds before my alarm went off that I forgot I set. I hope there will be more dreams like that in the future. Love seeing my Dad healthy and strong!

Acts 2:17New International Version

17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.

25 Nov 2023 Mountains

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

I have lived near and visited mountains and they are so beautiful. My memories of living in Colorado Springs and going hiking and fishing on lakes on Pikes Peak are some of my fondest memories. I can remember falling asleep there too. One time I woke up to a hummingbird flittering around a red hat I was wearing. I liked the sound of Aspen tree leaves blowing in the wind. When we were in Europe there were mountains too – in Austria in particular. Gorgeous! Where I live now there are mountains – they look pretty when it snows.

Psalms 121:1-8 NIV

I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
