Boy, Oh Boy - I told to myself I wouldn't never do this, but under much pressure from far away people I thought I would give in. To my surprise I am actually finding it fun. So since this is my first post I will try to tell you what we have been up to. We have lived in Nampa, ID for the past 10 years, I can't believe it. We have two wonderful girls Heather and Kristen who have made us ever so proud. About a year ago we purchased a copy/printing center called "Copies Plus" We have a great team of five people plus Roger who are doing a great job at running it. We are currently members of Bethel Church of the Nazarene where we are actively involved. Roger helps with the computer system, and I am currently the Missions president. What a big job this is, but humbly accepted the fact that this is what God has me doing.
I would like to say that I am a stay at home mama, but I also have a business that I have run from home for the past 10 years. I am an Immigration consultant and people come to my house/office to have me help them with their immigration packages. Many times I have quit this job, but it makes me think twice every time I think about quitting because I have come across many opportunities to not only help with their legal papers but to share Christ and even offer a prayer to those that have needed it. I have a unique ministry, I call it, from having phisicaly abused women to men coming for help when a wife has left them. Believe me I am not counselor, and I never have asked for this but BY GRACE ALONE, is that God has put me where I am. I have a wonderful husband who loves God, and treats me like a queen and who adores his daughters.
Roger has taken up the task of teaching us all how to ski, and has had more success with Heather and Kristen than anybody else if you know what I mean.
Heather is in first grade and doing very well and Kristen is my little companion who keeps me on my toes all day long.
Like I said this is my very first blog, so I promised I will get better and try to keep this updated.
