Hello to all! I've posted a few times and just came across this thread so I thought I'd introduce myself. I have been visiting the bible code site for a couple years now... something kept calling me back. I'm glad I did because I finally found this forum! Thank you Lord! Because, boy do I need you all so much right now. Wow, how did I get away from my intro so much....ok, well
I'm 36 and live in Virginia Beach, Va. Married going on 8 years this April! We have 3 wonderul children. 2 boys 3 & 5yrs and a girl 7 months. Now you know the reason why I can't stay on one subject for too long... walking zombie girl here!

Adding to the mix we have 2 dogs a 2yr old Chocolate Chesapeake Bay Retreiver, Roxy (hence... my screen name and... I'm a gal, but you've probably figured that one out already) and 7 yr old Mini Long Haired Silver Dapple Hot Dog, Boo Boo the wonder dog. We have some other unmentionable critters crawling around that on occasion the dogs or my 3 yr old will proudly present me with thier prize. Needless to say, our home is full of suprises, lots of laughter and the occasional high pitch shrill that only children can reach. We're blessed. My husband and I own a playground construction company, but since I've had the children I've backed out of most of my duties to stay home to raise the gang.
I can't remember ever not having the Lord in my life. I just felt Him constantly. It never felt forced... it just was. I can't explain it well. I grew up in the Greek Orthodox church, but later left with my parents due to major problems with how the members treated eachother. I've always talked with Jesus ever since I can remember and never doubted my faith until after I had my first baby. I really hadn't been involved with the church since I was young... mostly we had church at home. After my first born I felt He was calling me back to the church and no more than a couple days after I got a knock at my door from a Pastor at a local church. Of course I thought, wow! Ok this is where I need to go. My mistake was I didn't pray about it first. My husband was not brought up with God at all and I was slowly (with the guidance of the Lord or course) getting through to him. But by the time this pastor was through with us every bit of ground I gained was crushed into dust. He actually had me doubting that I ever knew Jesus at all! That I had never been saved! I cried so much, I was literally broken. I thought my whole life was a lie, it was horrible. Thank God for my mother, because she, by the grace of God, knew how to handle it and brought me back from the abyss. But the seed of doubt had been planted and my husband was further away than ever. I have no doubt that pastor was sent to stop me from bringing my husband to the Lord. I should have felt it, but I blindly went along and got slaughtered. It was a great learning experience for me though and one that I needed. I'll never let my guard down again. I have totally hijacked this thread and have gone on rambling.... sorry
Well, I close with that. Now you know a little bit about me. I feel honored to be among such a wonderful group of people who are obviously touched by the light of our Lord Jesus Christ. I really feel at home here and hope to get to know you all soon.
Love, Lisa
