Ask away -part 2

This week whipped by, the snow was the frosting on my children's week for sure. I thought I would get to the next questions in this -ASK ME post-to finish up what I had left untouched.

....Question 6 by Anonymous...

How did you meet the love of your life (Jesus)?

Well, as Lovella so kindly pointed out, back in May 21st, I touched on this.

I came to know the Lord as a preteen, after practicing witchcraft with my family-my grandfather had been murdered and my mom wanted to "contact him." She didn't know anything about God, but let me tell you those demons are all to eager to help you connect to them (them meaning demons and not your dead relatives). ...I never capitalize satan or devil...he isn't worthy of the recognition! ...

My mom suffered a nervous breakdown, which brought her to her knees. God guided her to a church that preached the gospel (salvation through the confession of sin, repentance and forgiveness through the blood shed by Jesus). She asked Jesus to come into her heart and by God's grace I followed in her footsteps.

-a little off topic but as an added bonus for your patient wait for part 2: At 13 I heard God speak to me for the first time. He told me he wanted me to adopt children. I said, "Yes, Lord." and meant it. On my second date with my, 'To-be-Knight,' (me-age 15 Knight age 19) I told him I had vowed with the Lord to adopt children...I told him if adoption wasn't in his future then I wasn't the 'girl' for him.

A little gutsy, huh? 5 years later we were married.

Question #7 by Greta Jo

What is your ideal career?

Being a mom-God willing to as many children as he would entrust me with. (I am reading about Rolland and Heidi Baker who have 2,000 orphans that call them Mama and Papa in Africa- my heart dances at this! Send me (us)Lord!)

As a newly saved girl my hearts desire was to be a Missionary/teacher. My heart is still for the lost and I pray that God daily give me opportunities to lead those who don't know Him into a personal relationship with Him, use me Lord.

If you could be a fly on a wall, who's wall would it be?

Oh without a doubt, George Müller. He ran orphanages in England- by faith, relying on God to be his (and their) provision. To me this is my heart's desire, have you heard of him???? He is a man that received from the very hand of God daily!

Question #8 by Mommaofmany

What does your week menu look like?

Well, the cat is out of the bag, I don't have a menu, much less a recipe for anything! I am a create it as you go kinda girl-I love natural, wholesome, simple food, as does my family.

We eat lots of fruits and veggies, I belong to a food co-op and we get lots of yummy wholesome food monthly, by the case. One of our favorite things is Greek yogurt- yum! Our favorite kind is honey flavoured Greek yogurt (Kostas are you reading this?! Kostas lives in Greece and has an apiary!)

We have two vegetarians in our family (me and my oldest) and the rest who we lovingly refer to as the 'Meat~heads.' ;-) There is a mixture of vegetarian and meat during the week to keep everyone happy. We meet in the middle with our love of Cheese, olive oil and bread, you know the trinity of a good diet!)

The joke is here that if it is great, enjoy it, chances are it will never come out the same again- to which I wink and laugh, I wouldn't have it any other way, as it is just who I am.

The end~thanks so much for asking!
