Thoughts of a Stellar, G-free, Christian, Mom, BFF, Nurse, and Wife?

Hello world. Today is Hope's Birthday. She is one of my dearest friends of more than 20 years. I am so glad that we have remained friends for so long.

Question: How do you define yourself? Are you defined by your job, status in life, marital status, children or the challenges that you faced and overcame? I am inclined to think that we are defined by all of these and in the end they mean nothing!

I am a Christian, but what does that mean to you? I believe that we are here on this planet to see what we will do with what He gave us and undergo a transfomation from a selfish person to a person that worships the one true God. I wish that I was less like me and more like Him. I am striving to teach my children that He should be first, but they are bombarded with contridicting information from the world we live in.

I am the daughter of a preacher, but I am not the one who has all the answers. My God does and I am looking for them every day. I am hoping that this blog will inspire and excite you to think outside of your box and see that the woes of this world have a God who will listen and answer your questions.

By the way, I do have celiacs and I am looking for others who wish to share ideas and solutions to living gluten free in a world that is full of road blocks for us. I have three children, 13, 12, and 8 years of age. I have been married for most of my adult life(15 years). I also have severe asthma and live in the great state of Oklahoma. Not many choices for those of us with celiacs in Tulsa.

As we all know, the internet has taken over the world. We Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter our free time away. There are also good things. How else could you sit in your living room in your comfy PJ's and research your ancestors, chat with your BFF in Switzerland, and buy that stellar sweater for Christmas in June, no less. But remember to water your plants and feed your children before you sign on to feed your customers at Cafe' World. There is a sun outside during the day and you need it for vitamin D.

You can always email your questions to me. Have fun and enjoy the love He has for you and your family and friends. TTFN and C U L8r!!
