About Me

Who am I? Im just a female human being. I grew up and was a wild child, very tomboyish. I was a leader, not a follower and I was a tough little thing. I grew up being very street smart thinking that is what saved my butt 100’s of times. However I now know that I have always had an angel with me who by the help of God, saved my life many times.

I was married at 24 in a Protestant church that I didn’t belong to. I just wanted to be married in a church.
 

After my divorce, a most wonderful man I knew, wanted to get married, and he asked my small kids if it was OK with them. It was a whirlwind and I was happy for the first time in many years. About a week later after he told my kids he wanted to marry me, he was murdered by shooter who went into a bar and randomly shot people. Unfortunately he killed my guy with a single bullet in the heart. After that I just knew that God didn’t exist, and I hated anything to do with God and religion for taking this man away from me. It took me at least two years to get over his death, and right after he died, I was laying in bed telling “whoever” that I wanted to die and go with him. At that very moment I felt myself leaving my body and I was being taken somewhere. I panicked immediately and said “NO” don’t take me, I have to take care and be a Mother to my children. They need me!!!”. This leaving my body stopped immediately and I remained. That should have been a hint right there, that there was a good power, and an evil power. But I paid no attention and became an Atheist. I didn’t believe in the devil either, as I thought I was already in hell.

I loved the outdoors, and loved to fish and see the woods in Minnesota. I really enjoyed my kids, and they did get my sense of humor. I use to have all of their friends over and we played nintendo, and watched scary movies and it was a lot of fun. I was not the best Mom as I was raising the kids by myself for several years and I had to work all the time. I wish I could have stayed home with them and not have had to work. Of course if we can do things over we all would change things. Unfortunately I can’t change those things. I met some guys and just could never find one that really was as important to me as the one who was killed. I felt then, that was my destiny to be alone. I was and still am fine with it.

Today I am still a Mother of a wonderful adult son and adult daughter. I have two beautiful Grand kids, a great Mom, and a great Brother. I was born and raised in Minnesota. Moved to Arizona later on in life at about 46 years old, am almost 54. I moved because I couldn’t stand the cold anymore, and I had a nice job transfer. I miss my family in Minnesota, and they have their own lives now. When my kids were small they went to some Protestant bible school classes. I regrettably never pushed religion on them because at the time I felt that when they were old enough, they would choose their path. I became an Atheist after my guy was killed, , and later on was Agnostic. The most important time I should have introduce faith to my children would have been when they were growing up. It is my fault entirely and I hope and pray they will find their place in the Catholic Church.
 

I had a conversion almost a year ago, and last Easter was baptized, had my first communion, confirmation and Holy Sacraments into the Roman Catholic Church. I’ll talk more about that in my conversion section.

I have this video here, because it is beautiful, and I thank God every day of my new life for this event. While seeing his photos on my site, and videos, if any one of you can be touched by him like I was almost a year ago, I welcome you to the Catholic Church by God’s Grace.

I work in the Information Technology field and have been for about 15-16 years. I have several canines and a couple of cats. I am very happy living by myself, I have no plans on getting married again, or really involving myself in an intimate relationship. The only relationship I am interested in now is my relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and I plan on taking vows in the future to be basically married to the Church. God has a plan for me, Im not really sure what it all involves, but he will let me know.

I have been a sinner all of my life and still am. I make it a point to try not to sin anymore, and I feel horrible if I have a slip once in a while. By having a slip, meaning saying a couple of swear words that I should never say again. Or gossiping, or telling a fib. I am not afraid of going to confession, as I was when I first went, and it is a duty I feel that I must do whenever I do have a slip. Its God’s law. The things I have to learn to control is getting mad when there are bad drivers all over the place. I was so embarrassed one night because the last time I got really mad is when I gave the finger to the police who were behind me on a very dark road one night on the way home. I thought it was a car following me, and instead of swearing, I gave the finger. Well, much to my surprise the lights when on and it was the police. While I have the greatest respect for the Police and how they put their lives on the line to protect us, I thought it was inconvenient to have to get stopped. Ive never had a ticket or an accident in my life, and they usually stopped me for a light out type of thing. Well, after I gave them the finger and they stopped me, I told them I was sorry. They were laughing saying “we’ve never had a woman give us the finger before”. Well, they told me to go on my way, and that if they would have been the bad guys I would have given the finger too, I could have been hurt. So I have not done it since. This information is not to try to get sympathy nor am I having a pity party. Its pretty much what led me to the point in my life where I am now. Saved. Something else I have that I never ever had all of my life was fear of offending God. After my conversion, I absolutely do not want to offend God. Its been a real change, and one for my salvation.

Now, about my conversion........
