about blessed1

beachBeing a military brat, I was raised all over the world, so I can honestly say beaches are the best place on earth. Hearing the ocean roaring in and tasting the salt on my lips, is the my ideal situation. When land locked, I often dream of digging my toes in the sand and watching the surf.

I loved dolphins before they were cool and got my belly pierced before it was the thing to do. Now I’ve taken it out as its the thing to do. Usually I like to be original enough with out following the trends or the crowd. I have my own style and am comfortable just to being me. I grew up in Hawaii and Virginia and lived everywhere from Japan to 1/2 the continental U.S. I attended high school at two different schools. The second of the two being on Okinawa, where I made so many life-long friends.

As far as my life now: I love spending time with my husband…he knows how to make me laugh so that I don’t take life too seriously. We’ve been married for 8 great years and have the most adorable son in the world. My 5 year old is the joy of my heart. He’s so affectionate, giving, and smart. He’s going to make some girl very happy one day.

My sister is one of my best friends. I can count on her for anything and now that we work together, it’s taken that dependablity to a whole new realm.

The most important thing in my life is Christ. Without my faith in tact, the rest of my life gets out of control pretty quickly. Without Him in my heart, I wouldn’t have made it through most of the hard times in my life. And thanks to Him, I’ve been blessed with all of the above–family, friends, and opporutinities to live life to it’s fullest. No matter how hard life gets, I know I’m blessed just to be here and have my life!

Thank you very much! God definitely knows what needs to be done in a person’s life better than what they do. I wish we all could see that!

God bless!

This one’s also a response to financier76.

No, bro, you’re not the only one. There’s a lot of us out here. Just here at WordPress there must be hundreds. Be encouraged!

Anyway, some get read by brothers and sisters, and some get read by atheists and agnostics. My site has been blessed to have attracted some from both sides, and some nice discussions are currently going on between believers and non-believers.

Blessed1 and financier76, drop by and join the fun, if you have time :) .

God bless you!

You’re funny. I thought for sure you’d have a better answer than that. It seems to leave so many gaps for them still…

I guess I’ll keep using it then. It’s great to have your opinion on things like these. I respect you a ton and value your wisdom…

Hope you’re having a great week so far!

Love you~

awww good entry , your sister is your best friend? wish I can say that about mine , do you love nature generally because I know I do , I realize I can never live in cities because I just love the greenery so much , I always ask god to always put me somewhere green .
Why do you feel you got through life due to christ ? why not god ? do you not feel his light and his mercy filling your life ?

Yes she is…and she’s someone who’ve I been through everything with…the good, the bad, and the ugly. She and I both not only love each other very much, but respect one another as well.

I love nature, yes. The beaches mostly …

As far as your last question:
I was taught and fully believe that the only way to my Heavenly Father (God) is through his son, Jesus Christ. God, His son, and the Holy Spirit are the Holy Trinity….so when I clarify Christ I am stating that I have accepted Christ as my savior so that I may be able to enter Heaven to see God one day. I do love God with all my heart and soul, who constantly fills me up everyday.
Does this help sort this out a little better for you?
