About Me

  • About Me: This is my daily struggle through the loss of our son, Alex, and everyday life... but really, who am I? **I am a Virtuous Godly Woman, A Child of the King of Kings, A Pentecostal Holy-Roller -- Wife of Tim, Mom to Rachel and Alex, Leader of Praize, Friend to all, One Chosen and Dearly Loved! I AM A ROSE THAT GOD CREATED; God created the rose in the likeness of a woman: The rose represents her beauty. The stem represents her strength. The petals are soft as her delicate skin, The fragrance so pure and so sweet. The leaves represent her arms outstretched, always loving and giving and for perfection --- He made her heart of pure gold. Thank you God for making me a woman...**

    All the late nights spent at Adonai! Trying to get ready for the shows or just chating and then going to Friendly's for ice cream? Remember the sleepover when we stayed up all night and Dan was throwing reeses cups? And gossiping with the girls about their love lives? Remember Rachel's first tap
