I’d love to tell you that I am this highly educated scholar and that you can trust my book smartness to guide you through this crazy life we have to live here on earth.  But, no… I’m not necessarily that kind of educated person.  I am however educated through Gods Word., the ultimate Counselor. I’m educated through experience, through desiring to learn what God’s Will is for me and following his direction and leading me through some extremely hard times. I’ve discovered that by following God’s plan instead of manipulating things the way I think they should be, the result is much better.  Gods way is more superior than my way every time.

I'm married to Kenny. He’s a spectacular husband, father, provider and my best friend. I have two adult children who are establishing their lives and doing so well! I’m a dog mom as well and provide doggie daycare for my grand pups. My family is the most important thing in my life and I strive to give them the best part of me. None of us are perfect and together we are learning to be selfless, and love and forgive through thick and thin.

Kenny and I dated quickly, put the cart before the horse, had a quick wedding, and then along came Caylee.  Two weeks after Caleb was born, Kenny and I separated.  We lived apart for two years.  It devastated me so badly! I can't even describe my emotions or thoughts because it was an absolute roller coaster.  We almost divorced, but God had other plans.  Immediately upon our separation, I cried out to God in desperation.  I asked him for a miracle.  My Mom said, "Tam, every time those church doors are open, you get in there."  So I did.  Then God gave me my miracle. First, he changed me. Second, he changed Kenny. Definitely still work to be done, but we are so much better than we used to be. Also, our kids came along for the ride.  We are all baptized believers in Christ and do our best to let him be the leader of our lives.  Hence, this blog.  

I've never ever professed to 'having it all together',  or 'being smarter or better than any other person', so this blog is not about that at all.  I have, however, learned a lot of useful information over the years and I would just simply like to share it with you!  God has given me the gift of exhortation, also known as encouragement.  When I learn something that excites me, all I want to do is share it with other people.  Well, my family and friends are sick of hearing from me (possibly, perhaps, maybe so), so God has directed me to open my horizons and to not be afraid.  Starting the blog was easy. Not being afraid was and still is hard.  So, I've prayed that God will bless this site, give me the words he wants me to share with you, and to just be real.  That's going to be easy and fun.  I'm so excited, I can't type fast enough!
