About Moi
First and foremost, I am a Christian. I love the Lord Jesus. I am Apostolic Pentecostal in faith. I know sometimes it is a cliché’s to even say I am a Christian for my actions deny the fact sometimes. All I can say to that is that I am human and I fall. Sometimes I am hypocritical. To those who say “That is why I do not go to church or serve the Lord because all Christians are hypocrites!”, I say this, Yup! You are right! If we were perfect, He would not have had to die, nor would we HAVE to go to church! Anywho, do NOT look at me. Look higher. Look at Jesus. I will fail you every time. But He wont!
I am a married mommy of 4. Shekinah Leigh is going to be 15 this year and Simmone Damaris is 12. Silas Darnell was born in 05 on August 9th. He is my little StringBean! Simeon is 9 months as I type this. (08) Hopefully more in the future but we are trusting the Lord for that. I have been married 16 years to my hubby, Allan.
Usually, I am a SAHM and home-school mommy. I have home-schooled them since kindergarten. I use the >School Of Tomorrow< curriculum or ACE. For the last two years due to major surgery and a difficult pregnancy I sent the girls to our church school but we are home-schooling again. They are having a great time though they DID both ask to be home-schooled again! **made me feel great**
For hobbies I read and like to sew and do crafts when I have time. My idea of heaven on earth is:
Being in my hubbies arms, Watching my kids sleep, Smelling the kids when they are freshly bathed. Daydreaming, Reading while it is raining or napping,Feeling the Lord's Presence. Going for drives in the country. EBAY!!!! Cannot forget Ebay now can we? LOL I love ebay. It has saved us bookoos of money. Sometimes I sell some nice boutique clothing among other things. You can check that out by searching my username: >MONILEIGH.
Anywho, I also love to be with the elderly. I love listening to their stories and wisdom.
I like to look at different things online. I love to read blogs and look at country graphics. I like to meet people on here too.
More? Good Grief! Don’t you have anything better to do? I am 35 years old. I have been married to Allan since I was 19. Have two daughters and two sons. want more children. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall. I recently had bariatric surgery and you can read about that by going to my WLS SITE . So far, in almost 4 years time I have lost 250lbs. I have hazel eyes. I have long brown curly hair that is VERY kinky. It was past my waist but it is so curly it is to the middle of my back. Since I had the surgery, I have lost quite a bit so it it to my shoulders at the present. If you would like to see pictures, click HERE.
