♥ Born and raised in southern Mississippi, and have ties to Louisiana. I'm fortunate to have family in both. I've lived in Texas for 25 years. In south Texas for 15 years. I really try to hold my humility closely at all times. Staying humbled before God is a top priority for me personally. Along with GOD, ...Family, Country, and Friends are also top priorities. My relationship with God is my own. I tend to surround myself with like-minded people. It keeps me grounded. I am who I am, not perfect for sure, never claimed to be. Just a work in progress and will be until my last breath. I love my family and friends, especially my 16 year old son. He's the best! He's a combination of himself, jim carey, adam sandler, and martin lawrence all rolled into one. I'm so blessed to have such a funny amazing smart and level headed son as I have in him. I'm very loyal. I'm easy going most of the time (especially when I'm getting my way). ; ))... I respect the fact that we don't all believe the same way "to a certain point" lol! ; ). I wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone. Not that I haven't. I've hurt people's feelings on here I'm sure. I'm truly sorry if I didn't acknowledge it and apologize to you. Honesty and Loyalty mean a lot to me and I'll Always show the same courtesy to you. I don't like troublemakers, manipulators, liars, fakes, drama, or people who create it, nor will I tolerate it. I won't be bullied or watch someone else be bullied either. I will defend my friends and family the same as I would myself, even more so. I have to admit... I have a low tolerance for self righteous people. Don't care for attention whores or self promotion for attention....gag me! A little humility and forgiveness can go a long way. Life is too stressful and too short as it is without all the DraMaMoMaBaMa!!! Who needs it?! = ) .....and P.S. to those in doubt about me... have a brain please! Don't believe everything you hear. As I have had someone spread lies and rumors about me with the goal of wanting to ruin my reputation on here all the while believing she was my friend. Rumors and lies always get started when others have a dark jealous heart, low self esteem and nothing else to do with their time. If you have questions you want to ask me, just shoot me a mail. No hate mail please... I'll just delete it or report it to sh anyway. Love to you all... = ) ♥

*Psalm 27:
1* The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom do I fear? The LORD is my life's refuge; of whom am I afraid?
2* When evildoers come at me to devour my flesh, These my enemies and foes themselves stumble and fall.
3* Though an army encamp against me, my heart does not fear; Though war be waged against me, even then do I trust.
4* One thing I ask of the LORD; this I seek: To dwell in the LORD'S house all the days of my life, To gaze on the LORD'S beauty, to visit his temple.
5* For God will hide me in his shelter in time of trouble, Will conceal me in the cover of his tent; and set me high upon a rock.
6* Even now my head is held high above my enemies on every side! I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and chant praise to the LORD.
7* Hear my voice, LORD, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.

8* "Come," says my heart, "seek God's face"; your face, LORD, do I seek!
9* Do not hide your face from me; do not repel your servant in anger. You are my help; do not cast me off; do not forsake me, God my savior!
10* Even if my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will take me in.
11* LORD, show me your way; lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
12* Do not abandon me to the will of my foes; malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.
13* But I believe I shall enjoy the LORD'S goodness in the land of the living.
14* Wait for the LORD, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!

remember it is not you they despise but, who is in you!
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
john 15:19
~rushsupporter

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you'

And makes me poorer indeed.

Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Joyce Meyer, Ann Coulter, Molotov Mitchell, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck. And any one else that stands for Freedom In America while contributing to growth but holding our Traditions, Core Values, Morals, Faith and Constitution as top priorities.
