I have been a Nurse since 1988. I am a Nurse Educator. I completed my master’s degree as a Nursing Education in 2012. I am a teacher at heart. I love to show people how and why we do what we do. Why it is important to take care of your heart and soul.

My parents took me to church as a baby. I grew up going to Sunday School and at nine years old, I realized who Jesus was, what he did, and why he did it. As I struggled through life I knew I needed Jesus in my life for the rest of my life to guide me, listen to me, and have someone to hear me. I don’t believe my life would be as good as it is without Jesus by myside.

As I grew up I read the bible and continued going to church. My parents stopped going to church, so I had to find rides with neighbors and friends. As a teenager, I experienced Jesus in my life through life events. I knew Jesus was real. I have hundreds of stories of how Jesus was with me even when I made bad decisions, through major health scares, and how he blessed me, led me from one place to another. He opened the door for good things to happen, and how by ignoring him, he allowed bad things to occur to bring me back to him. Like many people who has worked most of their life raising their children and making money day after day, I had a major adjustment happen to me. My children grew up! How dare they grow up and start living their own lives after years of their father and I attending piano lessons, basketball practices and games, We went to band contests and stayed up until after midnight waiting for them to come home from a band parties. Our lives were busy! Every weekend there was something one kid or the other had going on. Then one by one they started off to college. The first child to go to college is a shock to my system. Where did the time go? But with three others still running us here and there, we adjusted. One by one the children left.

That’s when it hit me. My life had turned into a boring routine of getting up, going to work, and coming home. We ate dinner, watched TV, and went to bed, just to do it all over again. Was that it! Was our lives going to be like this the rest of our lives? I was so busy living my life with my husband and children, they were my purpose! Our family went to church all those years. We were involved with church activities, as well as all our kid’s activities. Our friends and their kids were so busy. Now, we have kids who have moved to other states. Now, we have grand-kids and we are still involved with our church and friends. But is this it?

I kept praying for God to show me my next assignment in life. I felt like my first purpose in life was over. I wanted to be a mom. I was a mom. David and I raised our kids and now they are gone. Ok God, what’s my next assignment? I tried to talk David into becoming foster parents or adopting. He just looked at me! I know, been there, done that. But what am I going to do with myself. It’s been a struggle, an adjustment, but we have started to settle into a comfortable routine. We travel and enjoy our family, but God has a plan for our lives until we stop breathing.

I feel God has given be my next assignment. That is to pray for my children, my grandchildren, my husband, and tell the world through this blog about God. Everything we have will be gone when we die. God has asked us to do three things while we are alive.

1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Matthew 22:37

2. To love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:39

3. “Go and make disciples (followers of Jesus) of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age” Matthew 28:19-20.

This is my purpose in life! I would like to show you Why We Need God in our lives. Your eternity depends of this information!
