Much to say about me... Those of you who know me know that I am very outgoing. I consider it a minstry. I feel if I am freindly enough to people they will remember me.Hopefully in a positive way.
Therefore maybe leaving an impact on their lives.It is my prayer that when people see me that they not only see an outward sign of Pentecost, but they would feel the spirit of God coming from me.
It is my prayer that the level of committment to the principles of His Word that I hold to would draw attention to the God that is inside of me. The one who is my FOCUS. I desire that His purpose be my main purpose.
 I am 3rd generation Pentecost on my mothers side. My dad's family is baptist. I received the Holy Ghost at the age of 7. I tried my wings unfortunately around 15 or 16 yrs.old . I am so thankful that God was and still is a merciful God. I was drifting for about 8 months before coming to my senses.
  When I was in the 9th grade I met my husband. He was admiring the Pentecostal girl from afar. . In our 11th grade year he asked me if he could come to church with me. I was like sure. ,.  Pentecost was not cool back then and it amazed me that someone would be interested in coming to church with me that I didn't persue. There is a lesson in that story.
 Long story short, he finally came with me and after a couple of months was baptized and received the Holy Ghost.  We got married March 17th,1978.
  David was already enlisted in the Navy by this time. We were stationed in Orlando, San Diego then to Waukegan, IL. where Christopher was born.Then back to San Diego where Vandy was born . Then up to Noah's homeplace Va Beach. So therefore all of my family's birth certificates were from different states.David being originally from New Jersey and me from Atlanta.
  Today God has tremendously blessed our family. We have 2 FANTASTICALLY ADORABLE grandchildren. Eden who is 2 and Caden who is 11 mos. They are my joy and sunshine.I am Eden's Ganma Pickle and she is my Pickle head. Can't wait to see what I will be to Caden. As with Eden whatever he picks up and calls me , I'll take. I hope they will one day understand all they mean to me. I love just watching them play, and buying things for them.I have become a people watcher like the ones at the malls, when it comes to my grandchildren. I have become sooo old.
  We have 3 sons, as I have mentioned. We have 2 great daughters in law and a good prospect. We love our girls and pray that God blesses them always. We pray that God will always keep his hand  on our sons and daughters and on their marriages. That the annointing will continually rest upon their families.
  As of now , Christopher and Angela are at Oak Park..Whoo Hoo !!!! Vandy and Andrea are Youth pastors in Oak Ridge, TN. Noah is in Maryville, TN. serving as Youth pastor and Sectional
 youth leader.
   David is also a liscenced minister with the Ga district UPC. We serve as Sr Bible Quizing Cooridnators for Georgia. We have held that position for approximately 15 yrs. As of this past spring we became assistant Media Missions Directors for the state of Georgia. We also enjoy when David is asked to minister in other churches.
   We have 4 children that we have taken in to be God parents. We are Grandma April and Grandpa David. These are not so little children anymore but Kleinschmit Catherine (Jennifer)and Mo (Samuel). They are so old now it still blows our mind.
   We have Elijah. Which what can I not say about Elijah. He has been a major part of our lives for 5 1/2 yrs. He's growin up too. He started kindegarden this week. Boo hoo. We will always be his Grammy and Grampy. Couldn't love him anymore if I gave birth to him myself.
   Then almost 2 yrs ago we received the blessing of Christiana. She is finally starting to show her love for her Maw Maw and Paw Paw. She is so sweet when she gives her hugs. Of course she's a little parcial to her Paw Paw.
    As of the last year, My dad has been living with us. I try to get him to all of his doctor appointments and take care of day to day needs. He has been in therapy for approximately 3 months. Then if you didnt hear, in June he had a stroke that took his speech. So he started therapy over. We are praying for a speedy restoration of his words.
   My mom has been living with us for 6 1/2 yrs after having several strokes. She has an apartment on the other part of my house. She still makes it to church as often as she can. She is a walkin miracle. We jokingly refer to this situation as "The notebook" because my parents have been divorced for 34 yrs. Yet they still want to  look after each other.

   It is my desire to see Oak Park grow and prosper in the Lord. It is also my desire to do what I can to help Oak Park become His "Eccklesia". If I do my part, along with everyone else, it will become a reality.

 Last but not least I am so Thankful that God blessed me with the life partner he did. When I didn't know everything I was getting God did. He loves me that much to give me my husband. He is my FRIEND and I love him so much. I dont know what I would do without him. He is my supporter in everything I set out to do. He is the trueest Christian I know, and is the most giving and selfless  person. However he does lack traffic patience.(LOL) I love you David and this has been the best 29 + years.


And continuing with what I enjoy... as you may know I LOVE reeses. Chocolate and peanut butter is the best !!! However during the last 24 weeks they have been few and far between. They cost me 5 POINTS. They are good but I could only have 4 a day so I choose to by pass them.
  I enjoy diet coke.. give me a diet coke and a smile and I am happy. Add Eden and Caden in the mix and I am elated.
  I like to play the piano. I get vey discouraged with it. I took several years of lessons total and my husband still says I am rythmatically challenged. I would get my feelings hurt if it was not true. I had the hardest time with timing during my lessons.
  I have been doing Weight Watchers for 24 weeks. I have been very rigid about it. I kept it quite and it took almost 2 months for anyone to notice. I am still getting compliments occassionally. I am not even halfway to my goal. I have gone down almost 4 dress sizes. I am so thankful to God for helping me with this . It is definately Him . I could never do this on my own.
  I crochet a little bit. Simple things mostly like Afghans. I spend alot of time in doctors offices with my yarn. I can't stand to sit and waste time.
   I am over member services at Oak Park. I enjoy meeting people. So I felt like that was something I could do for the kingdom.  I am way behind on updates. After Dad's last stroke it slowed me down a little so I have alot of updates to do. Please if you move or change anything write it down and hand it to me. Also email Linda Rowan. Its a job keeping up with all the information on so many people God has blessed us with.
  Oh yeah and in case you didnt know by now I AM A BLUE PERSONALITY. I am a perfect example of the blue trait. I am all about how something will make someone feel. David always calls me cruise director cause I can't stand for someone to feel left out.
  I love a good picture. Ask my family. They all moan and groan over pictures except for elijah and Eden. They are true Ganmas girl and grammy's boy. They pose everytime. I have more pics in frames than I can put out.
  

 Does that about cover it? If I find out I could've put this somewhere else I will move some of it. I am trying to figure everything out.
