Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
My Christian faith has made me the woman I am today. I am a woman of spiritual substance. I can say I am and have been blessed abundantly with Heavenly riches. The richness of excellence in character, integrity, virtue, wisdom, and inner strength. I know the value of Biblical principals and good teaching in life lessons. I know the power of a prayer life. I have been able withstand difficult trials with my head up. Then be a friend to hurting soul along life’s journey. “The Lord is my refuge, my rock, and my deliverer.” I enjoy sharing my faith with others, but I will share it appropriately.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
"Give and it shall be given to you, pressed down, shaken, with measure and running over!" "My God SHALL supply all your need through his riches in Christ Jesus." "I can do all things through Christ Jesus, who strengthens me." "God has not give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind."

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
The Bible tells us to be at peace with all men. You can’t do that if you are “unequally yoked.” Marriage is a spiritual (the deepest kind of relationship), emotional, as well as a physical relationship with a human being. I enjoy the intimacy of a spiritual relationship with my partner. Sharing the Word of God and praying together has such a special meaning. I have found that the differences I may have with my partner are better handled with a spiritual life. I believe the Bible puts the real meaning of ROMANCE back into our human/spiritual relationships. Try reading the Song of Solomon.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
Los Angeles, Oregon, back to Los Angeles. I have traveled in the past to Texas and recently to Utah for the first time going through Reno, Nevada.

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
I attend a very large church that has many programs both for the church members and the community. I enjoy helping the volunteers of our church’s Food Pantry give out food each week to church members. At a storage company I rent from, there many useable discards I secure for pick up. We have a very large warehouse that gives these things away for free to those in need. The other favorite things include hanging out with friends and doing things on the spur of moment.

What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
I just never know until each day gets here. My work schedule for 2008 swong from one job to another. I hope 2009 is less crazy but more stable in the income department. Other than that, I still manage to find enough chores to cram something into seven days a week. This is a hard exsistence and not for the faint at heart. I been extremely blessed with some wonderful people in my life and the Lord has opened doors that were impossible for me. Education is the only way to change all of this and at my age it is not easy. I don't have the same energy I had when I was younger. I still have the same ambition, plenty of experiences I didn't have before (which come with great wisdom) and that counts for a lot. I just have to figure out how to channel my time and the energy I do have to the maximum. It may take some inordinate circumstances to change my present situation. Nothing is impossible for God! I have the faith! God made the poor rich in faith! I can rejoice in the Lord, because all things work together for good and for that love God and are called. I keep a smile on my face.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
Having a home, teaching Bible studies, counseling and mentoring others. Continuing my education, exploring using my gifts and talents to greater heights, meeting someone special, and traveling.
