Fellowship with others and get answers to some of my Biblical questions. Learn more about the Bible to share faith with others.
Interests:
I would like to learn how to give my testimonial to others but I don't know how to "break the ice" when talking about God and what He has done for me.
I live alone with my cat, Jessie, whom I love dearly. I enjoy the simple things in life like wild flowers, sunshine, children's laughter, animals playing, cool breezes.
I'm passionate about...
Learning all I can about Jesus and my walk of faith. Learning to talk/share the Bible with others.
Finding out what God's purpose for my life is.
Listening to & treating others kindly.
My story with God
I learned about God at an early age but did not attend church services on a regular basis. Through the years I realized what a big sinner I had become. I never forgot about God & praying & thanking Him for getting me through some really tough times. I still have a hard time forgiving myself for some of the sins I have committed.
Over the past few years I have been physically unable to attend church services but I do read my Bible daily. I have read the New Testiment different ways, ie writing notes, questions, favorite verses, etc. This time I am reading a chapter a day and meditating on it and asking God what He is trying to get across to me. I seem to be learning much more this way. I am loving God/Jesus more everyday. And I have learned that Jesus loves ME, He cares about what is going on with ME, and He doesn't want me live my life full of anxiety.
I am now yearning for the Word; soaking up everything I can. I feel like Helen Keller when the light bulb finally clicked - I am aggressively listening and learning anything & everything God wants me to understand. I am still patiently waiting for Him to reveal to me what His plan is for my life.
I hope to someday be able to share the Bible with others who don't know Jesus, but I don't know where to begin.
Other stuff about me:
I am retired from the USNavy - loved my career as a Bio-Medical Photographer. I live alone with my cat, Jessie. I have no living relatives. My mother & father divorced when I was 6yrs old and both are deceased. I lost my only brother & sister both to suicide. I am not in good health; facing another spinal surgery next month. I watch Charles Stanley (Baptist minister from Atlanta, GA) on weekends. I am really looking forward to getting to know/share/learn with others on this web site. Basically I am a happy, loving, caring, sharing person who loves God's furry creatures.

Please do keep on praying for the request of mine down below, and I know I can count on you to do it:
Please "WIN the 10/40 WINDOWS" for JESUS CHRIST.
The 10/40 Windows (located between 10 - 40 degrees North of Equator - between West Africa to East Asia) need Missionaries, have no church at all, and there live about 40 percent of the world population. INDONESIA, my country is in the 10-40 windows though we have churches. Please also pray for ISRAEL and all over the world. Let's get on our knees, praying hand in hand with me for their revival. I look forward to the day when the Lord who I kneel to worship will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
A message was given recently in which Jesus said, the mansion I went to prepare for you is now finished. All is ready for Me to bring My people home.
