Blessed

When I was pregnant with each of my three sons, I would pray everyday that God would give each of my children a musical talent that would be used for Him. He gave me my desire! All of my boys were blessed with musical talent. Jonathan is the bass player for the Praise and Worship team at the church he goes to. He plays with such passion for the Lord. Philip has a beautiful sax that he plays. It seems as though God himself plays it. He plays like He speaks the notes. He came in third, in the International Teen Talent, in 2002. He was 17. Nathanael, plays the drums on the same team as Jonathan. His ability to hear beats is amazing. It has to be from God. He bounces all the time around the house. If he sits very long, he has this imaginary drum that he is playing on. I guess that is the way all drummers do!! He sits and plays the keyboard and just meditates on the Lord. I guess, the point I am trying to make is, when you focus on the Lord and live for Him and desire to draw close to Him, He will give you what you ask for. I didn't want material things. It is nice to have them, though. I wanted my children to know Him to the fullest. I have seen it devolpe over their lives as I watch them grow. Wayne and I are so blessed that God gave us three fine young men that love the Lord like they do and want to serve Him with all their hearts. Dana, Philip's wife, is so amazing. She is so good to Philip. She watches over him like a hawk. Words cannot describe what we feel for her. She was an angel that God sent to our family. Besides, the Lord knew that I needed another girl around, with all of these guys!!!! Dana, sings beautifully. It is not just words that come from her. It is love that she expresses for her Lord. She does not sing for recognition. She sings only to Jesus and no one else. Yes, I am proud of what God has given to me. He gave me my desire and more. I just love Him so much. I love you also, Jonathan, Philip, Dana and Nathanael. You make your dad and I proud. Keep living for the Lord. Thank you, Jesus.

Family

These are my children. My oldest is Jonathan. He is 29. He is a young man that follows the Lord. He seeks to do whatever he can for others. He loves to serve Christ with his whole being. He plays the bass guitar on the church Praise Team. He is presently leading a group called "Crossroads" for single and divorced persons. Being divorced himself, he knows the ups and downs that it can bring. He is wanting to someday settle down with a special young lady, that feels a calling in this field also, that can work by his side to help these hurting souls. Philip is 24. He loves life and seeks to make his life full and prosperous. He loves God and has been called as an Evangelist. He is one that wants it all in life. He strives to do his best in many things. His mind is always thinking of ways to do something better. He plays the saxaphone beautifully. I think that he needs to make a CD one day. He has such an anointing on his life. When he plays, it seems like it reaches down into your soul and ministers to your need. He is married to a beautiful young woman named Dana. She is so precious to Wayne and I. We were so blessed when she became part of us. She is 24 also. She sings with sincerety and love for the Lord. She has a zest for life. She right beside Philip and helps him in his ministry. She is a strong and devoted young woman. She gives all that she has in whatever task is set before her. They have no children right now. They did have a miscarrage, this past year, that was difficult. They have come a long way since then and with God's divine touch they are victorious. Nathanael is our baby. Well, I do not think he likes to be called that now. He is 15 and will be 16 in August. He is the drummer on the Praise team. He has such a sweet spirit about him. He loves the Lord and seeks Him everyday. He feels the call into the ministry and is wanting to attend CFNI when he graduates from High School. He is writing a novel right now to help reach younger readers. He hopes that it will help them to find Christ, if they do not know Him as their personal Savior. He loves to bowl and is on a bowling league. He has a good average. He has a wonderful sense of humor. I feel so blessed being the "Mom" of this crew. I am so proud of them all. I love the verse in Psalms, that says, "Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." He has truly given me my desires that I had prayed, from a very early age. I couldn't ask for much more. My cup is running over. Thank you, Jesus.


















Jonathan and Nathanael took a few minutes to pose for me before running out the door to church, on a Wednesday night. Nathanael grabbed Princess (our family pet) and she got in the picture also. Thanks guys!

Here is Philip and Dana. She is helping me set my website up. She is so smart. She works in the hospital as a Pharmacy Tech. She and Philip are the owners of our family business. We just took Philip to Chili's. Now he is all smiles!
