Interests

General
Jesus is my number one interest above all else! HE IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR! :) I also love my family and friends and I do my best to keep my priorities straight. I'm a hard core conservative, and pro-life. Some of the many ministries and organizations that I support, and advocate for, include: The Monthly Call for Life Campaign, The Hope Clinic, A Friend's House, and The House of Hope (just to name a few!). I am always trying to do better at using my gifts for the Lord; volunteering, helping, fundraising, blogging, and laboring for what is right - especially for faith, family, and LIFE!! Also, I am a writer and I LOVE to blog! I also like photography. (I'm quite a shutterbug! LOL) Oh, and my brand new interest is GETTING HEALTHY! I'm doing it and it's paying off! I prayed and asked God to help me, and one day, I found this FREE SITE that has really been an answer to prayer! It tracks your calories eaten, calories burned, gives you a meal and exercise plan, and everything is customized for YOU! There is also plenty of positive people, message boards, articles, recipes, and MORE!! ALL THESE RESOURCES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!! So, are you ready to change YOUR life? CLICK HERE AND JOIN ME!! SEE YOU AT SPARK!

Music
I love Christian music. It's all I really listen to. I've added a lot of them to my friends list including; Barlow Girl, Britt Nicole, Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, David Crowder Band, FFH, Brandon Heath, KJ-52, Kutless, Toby Mac, Mandisa, Mercy Me, Newsboys, Out of Eden, Rebecca St. James, Michael W. Smith, Sonicflood, Superchick, Zoegirl, and the list goes on. Just check my friends list for a lot of great artists! These artists are only some of my many favorites. My ULTIMATE FAVORITE is Jeremy Camp! He has such a heart and passion for the Lord and it shows! The music and lyrics of his songs really helps me feel closer to God. They are prayers from his heart, and definitely the types of prayers from my heart too. (His wife, Adie Camp, is WONDERFUL TOO!).
Movies
Anne of Green Gables, Akeelah and the Bee; Bella; The Chronicles of Narnia Movies; Diary of a Mad Black Woman; Enchanted; Ever After; Facing the Giants; Fireproof; Flywheel; It's a Wonderful Life; Madea's Family Reunion; Napoleon Dynamtie; The Nativity Story; One Night with the King; The Passion of the Christ; The Princess Diaries 1 & 2; Secondhand Lions; The Sound of Music; Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken; Shirley Temple Movies; Veggie Tales
Television
Little House on the Prairie and Full House are my favorites!! I also like other classics like Family Matters and Home Improvement. Also, my husband got me hooked on the Dukes of Hazzard. Before my husband introduced me to the Dukes (I really had never seen a full episode). We went to Dukesfest in TN in June of 2006. We saw the cast, but didn't get to meet them all. We waited six hours just to meet John Schneider. If we would have realized that the wait was that long, we would have never got in line (we had the kids with us and they were pretty little and it was so hot!!). But after waiting a couple hours, stepping out would have been like throwing all that time away, so we just kept waiting. The wait was very trying, especially since it was very warm and we were beyond exhausted. But, John Schneider was GREAT! He was pretty much in the same boat too, being that he wasn't even feeling well. Yet, he stuck it out for the fans. WHAT A GUY!!! It was all worthwhile then. We even got our picture taken with him. If you want to see our picture with "Bo Duke," check out "My Photos" to see!!
Books
The Bible is the only book I consistently read. Also, I love "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis (CLASSIC and BEAUTIFUL must reads!!!). Additionally, I have recently read "Calm My Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow and "The Shack" by William P. Young (THAT IS A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!!!!). Another good book is "Gianna: Aborted...and Lived to Tell About It" - which is a story about Gianna Jessen (we named our daughter after her....watch Gianna's testimony below).
Heroes
JESUS ABOVE ALL ELSE!!! He's my TRUE hero. Though, I do have admiration and respect for my other brothers and sisters in Christ who have a committed faith and live to serve the King. :) I also admire the character of my husband, and the purity and innocence of children, especially mine (visit my YouTube page to see funny and touching videos of my kids: http://www.youtube.com/user/melissaforlife777) My son has really inspired me and changed my views on a lot of things. He's hearing impaired, and while that may seem like a burden to some, it has never been a stumbling block to him. Every child is valuable and disabilities don't make disposable or unworthy. Praise God for the down-syndrome and other disabled people of this world who remind us that we are so blessed and that we should do with what we got as they do. Often times, they surpass us! No doubt that they, who are last in the world's eyes, are FIRST in God's eyes! You can learn a lot from these people and from children. Jesus wants us to have that "child-like faith" and humble ourselves like them. Children don't complicate things. They see things as they are and life is simple to them. If only we could be as pure and uncontaminated as children! We all need that kind of unconditional love and faith.

Who I'd like to meet:

Above all else; Jesus Christ face to face on that glorious day!! :) At least I am glad that I have a relationship with Him NOW so that I CAN meet Him later!! We are all going to meet Him, but only the ones who know Him NOW will get to BE WITH HIM forever when the last day comes!! Do you know Him? If you don't, talk to me and I will introduce you to Him!! It would also be great to meet Saundra, Cheri, Vanessa, Adry, Joel and Kristi, and many of my other online friends whom I love and adore!! And, I would STILL love to meet MIKE HUCKABEE!!!!!!! Other than that, I have met many of the people I truly love knowing - my husband, my family, my friends, and my church family. I'm just happy to meet more people who are looking to have strong friendships - especially other brothers and sisters in Christ. I love people who have a sweet and peaceful spirit and who are encouraging and positive (in other words, if you're a bully and like to judge and condemn, find someone else to harass because I am not a doormat and will not put up with it!). I'm also the type of person who likes to help people. I am more than happy to talk and listen to you; as well as pray for you!! I consider myself a good friend, and would like to meet others who would be good friends as well.

I love you too, Melissa!! And I WAS a walking zombie, LOL, I still feel like that this morning. It will take me a few days to recover from it all!! And my Dad totally kept those Daisies you gave me! I started to load it in my car and he was like, "Hey, i thought those were for me?" and he really meant it! So I just let him have them, so they are happily displayed in my Dad's kitchen. LOL!! I am glad you enjoyed meeting Scary Kitteh. She's so much fun, isn't she?!

God did not promise sun without rain, light without darkness, or joy without pain. He only promised us strength for the day when the darkness comes and we lose our way, For only through sorrow do we grow more aware that God is our refuge in times of despair. For when we are happy and life's bright and fair we often forget to kneel down in prayer, But God seems much closer and needed much more when trouble and sorrow stand outside our door. For when we seek shelter in His wonderous love and we ask Him to send us help from above. And that is the reason we know it is true that bright, shining hours and dark, sad ones too, Are part of the plan God made for each one, and all we can pray is "Thy Will Be Done."

Just wanted to remind you that you are a precious child of God, He Loves you and is always there when you need him, Dont forget that in times of trouble and help, Call on the Lord and he'll be there!

Psalm 18:6
In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

Psalm 27:7
Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me

Psalm 30:2
O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.

Love and blessings

I just want you to know that I am thoroughly enjoying your newest blog series, and I feel blessed through your experiences. They're powerful! Children can break this simpleton's heart, and the minute I read that you were working with them, I knew for certain that God was working through you, and through you, he will inspire others.
