I am a Christian wife and mother of 5. I am an Engineering Aide in a Soils Materials Laboratory for the Roads Dept. – County of Kern. My job as a Laboratory Technician can be a rough and dirty one. I work in a male dominated position in a male dominated field. As one of only two women in the laboratory and of only three in the field, I face special challenges. Yet, I meet those challenges head on and find my job to be both rewarding and stimulating in the academic sense. Top that off with the extra responsibilties of motherhood and housewife, I find it to be a struggle meeting my creative needs.
Just started blogging a couple years ago. I hope to connect and inspire other women who are finding their way through motherhood and realizing their potential as a Christian woman. I have been through many trials and continue to push forward looking for the good and exploring all the possibilities life has to offer. God has been good to me and answered many prayers. I truly feel that my life still has so much to look forward to and I want to share it with others. I have five children and believe that thru my life experiences and parenting experience, God willing, I might be able to share and help others
I have recently discovered a creative part of me that has been neglected for the past 15 plus years. I have attended painting workshops, impromptu acting lessons, and a few quilting classes. I’ve discovered that I love to quilt and fabric has become my new addiction. I also love to paint and hope to someday soon enroll in art lessons!
I love to cook and have attended cooking demonstrations at Williams Sonoma, as well as a cooking class at a local restaurant with the hopes of attending more. My sister also likes to cook and we have taken advantage of our shared interest to spend time together whenever possible.
All of these new activities are very exciting and my growing relationship with my savior has sparked a new joy within me. I am getting my “Creativity” on! I am seeking new ways to be obedient and serve my Lord. I hope you will enjoy my journey as much as I am. God is so good and I am so blessed. I am thankful for each and every new day and the opportunity each one brings to share the love of Christ!
