Through many years  of evolution, coincidencies, sex, science, cell division, ancestry, natural selection and just plain chance is why I am who I am......

   I am the way God made me and strive to be what He wants me to be.

I have learned and adapted as I've gotten older with the influences of those I have met along the way.  I keep a little piece of everyone I meet, because everyone has some effect on me, big or small, and every person has done something to help shape my character, whether or not they meant to do so.  I try to improve every day as a person, and although I falter, I think I'm doing ok so far...

I wish I knew, I only take one day at a time and do what I can do when I can do it...

I am a first born which affected my character traits by how I was raised by my parents as their first child. I grew up in a large family living back and forth between country towns and big cities. I have 4 blood siblings with whom I grew up and one adopted sister that came in the picture when I was 15. My dad was muslim and my mom is christian. I have 3 children.

All these things have been the main shaping factors in who I am. But of course all my life experiences and people with whom I have known have all had a part in making me who I am.

  I am an only child who struggled a lot under an abusive father.  My mom was not treated well by him, either.  Thanks to special family members and caring friends, as well as church friends, I was able to survive and keep going.  I always say that for everything I went through way back, God turned around and blessed me when I met and married my husband and gave me 3 beautiful children. I determined my kids would never have to experience what I went through and they would know that they had parents who truly loved them. They are grown now, and one of my sons has 2 beautiful small daughters (grands for us!) I am thankful to the Lord that we are a close-knit family.

All of that has brought me to where I am today.

God made me the way I am for His wonderful purpose for my life and for His glory.

It's a combination of nature and nurture.
