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 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.

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 did I want to be when I was Five – a writer and singer- be famous. I was writing stories when I was five and singing to neighbors with my jump rope handle. I think it was around this time my stepmom said something profound to me “you don’t have to be famous to be somebody.” She was right! She used to read my stories and gave me honest feedback.
Our church had a Passover feast on Tuesday. It’s the second one I’ve been to and it was really good. There was a great attendance – over 90 people. Now we are looking forward to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostlesreclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a] 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22 The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
Something that has gotten easier as I’ve gotten older is saying no. I used to say yes all the time and would get a resentment as a result. I felt like I had to say yes or I was a bad person. Now I realize that it doesn’t make me a bad person to say no sometimes especially if it’s not in my best interest. Sometimes no is the right answer – a catalyst for something else better to happen. An example is my ex brother in law asked my ex and I to come to Florida to a Ozz fest and I said I didn’t want to go. Well we didn’t go and he ended up meeting his future wife! Spending too much time making a decision means usually the answer is no for now – “too many mind.”
37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
Who was your most influential teacher? Why?
The teacher I remember and have fond memories of is a grade school teacher at Harvey Dunn her name was Mrs. Maxwell. She encouraged my writing. She gave me a certificate stating that I was the most likely to be an author. She was right. After we lost Sam our cocker spaniel we wrote a book. The title was The Gospel According to Sam an e-book.
Matthew 12:30-32 Niv
30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
