About me....
Have you ever tried to tell someone "who you are"? Sometimes I don't know if we know. But I love this part of the website, because it is the page that will either help you decide whether you want to follow me, or not. It's the "not" answer that for the most part of my life has bothered me.
I am a Sanguine / Melancholic. I used to label myself as a "BiPolar Mess", but after a monumental shift in my perspective, I realized that it was actually a Dual Gift! Not only did God create me to interact and relate to one personality, but two! I now call it multi-tasking with perfect balance! I will never get too depressed that I can't see hope and I will never be so flighty I can't be grounded! Pretty cool if you ask me!
So...who Am I?
I am Child of God, first and foremost, that in itself has taken some time for me to learn, not to mention the constant daily process of new lessons and treasures! I am a Wife to an amazing Husband...that took me nearly as much time to learn...and I'm a Mother of two amazing young men...ah yes....still learning that one! I live on a hobby farm in Minnesota. I love living simple! I love learning how to be me. I use the word "learning" because I'm still figuring out how to be completely authentic to who God created me to be. I am a massive people pleaser, so with that, typically comes a great costume act of of actors and performers of expectations of who people want me to be. Again, however, after a monumental shift in my perspective, I learned that pleasing people is a gift...only if you are doing it through an authentic you! Otherwise it can be a curse. So, you will find me learning how to love me...while I'm learning how to love others!
My Strengths...
Encourager: Because of my personality traits of Sanguine/Melancholy, I am an extreme encourager. I find much passion in edifying others! I'm like the "cheerleader". Although it looks like I'm trying to gain the attention in the corner...what I'm really trying to do is build you up!
Evangelist: I have no fear in talking about the love of Jesus. I am very open to his love and sacrifice for us. I am very open to bible discussion. I do a Bible Study every morning as a blog. My husband and I also do a Bible Study every night with our sons. We read 2 pages and then talk about how it impacts us in real life applications. I do not believe that we should not discuss Jesus or God's word contrary to popular belief. I believe we should! I've seen God's word heal, restore, and change lives! It's the greatest kept secret on earth and should be shared!
Writer: I love to write. I am not a grammar Nazi though. I probably make tons of typos and grammar errors. I let other people worry about that. I write from passion not from the English room, so if you are noticing grammar errors, you are more than likely missing my point! Feel free to point grammar errors out, however, I'm all about wise council. Just try not to be critical of my grammar because that part doesn't make the "writer" in my personality type. I blog and I published a book. The book seems like such a long time ago when I wasn't living for Christ and my marriage fell apart. It fell apart bad! You couldn't tell it now...if I would say anything in my life is perfect...it is my marriage. I'm not boasting on anything I did...but I am boasting on what God did...he went from "I hate you!" to "I never want to be without you". He took us from "I don't trust you at all" to "I trust you with it all". You can buy a copy online or request a signed copy with a prayer from me to you. I've been working on tons of new titles...and someday will have a string of books a mile or two long...probably more than I can imagine.
Life Coach/Friend: I am not a professional counselor! I do not have a degree in psychology or any sort of counseling! NONE.... I was created by God with this passion to encourage and friend and counsel through my experiences in life and through my Sanguine/Melancholic lenses! I have time for you! God has blessed me with the desire to make time for people. In an excessively busy world... I have time. When my heart strings are tugged because someone needs a friend, I drop everything and make a cup of coffee and interact. I say interact because I have more of a gift of gab then I do a gift of listening. Don't be fooled, I've heard every word you said and my brain is engaging in how to edify you and find the strength in the situation! Again, no professional degree...so don't yell lawsuit if my advice isn't friendly enough.
Dream Analyzer: I know...strange gift. It almost seems a little "new age" doesn't it. eeekkk... I'm one of "those"....people. Ha! Ok...really I'm not, but I used to hide my gift because I thought people might see me as some sort of new age fortune teller, tarot reader cult-ish person if they knew. Then I read about Daniel interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream, and I realized, it could also be a gift if used for kingdom purposes! I didn't pick my talents, they were given to me...my job is to use them for the good of those who ask. I don't charge for these services...because I'm not a professional, I'm a friend..so I'll share my dreams, you share yours, I'll share my opinion as I analyze it and you decide if it fits.
In a nutshell: One day, I'm boisterous, bubbly, chatty, openly emotional, and a social extrovert. The next day I'm an emotionally sensitive, perfectionist and an introvert! Just depends on what day you stop by!
