Why are there so many ups and downs in life!? When things are going well and life for me is on the upswing, I have the tendency to feel like the master of my domain… king of the world! (well, in my case queen). The downs, though, are to remind me of who my master truly is… there is only one King, and it isn’t me. It is okay to feel good (to be happy), to be on the upswing of life–as long as I remember who brought me there. I am nothing and have nothing outside of God. I am alive because He gave me life. Right at this moment I am breathing in and breathing out because God allows me to do so. He has the power, and the right (because He is my creator) to take this very breath away. I must always remember to praise God, through life’s ups AND downs, and not take lightly His supremacy.​
Who I am is of no importance. If you feel the need to attach a name, then call me Julie, my mom did (when she wasn't calling me by my sister's name).
Married for 34 years.
​
No children (for those suffering from infertility, there is hope! Joy and Peace CAN be found even if you can not have baby’s).
​
Short.
​
A bit goofy. (okay a LOT goofy). Some people call me quirky.
​
Above all, and the most important thing...
Born again.
I placed my faith in Jesus Christ in 1995. This was when I came to the realization that I was in desperate need of help! I was extremely depressed, out of control in my anxiety, and deeply entangled in addiction. I felt my dirt (sinfulness) was too great for God to even want to look at me. I was very broken, so much so I wanted to take my life.
BUT GOD!!!
I called out to Him not sure He would listen or if He'd even care! In 1995 I cried out for help to the only one who could save me! I confessed out loud all my dirt to Jesus Christ! I asked Him into my heart and life.
In 1995 I was saved!
​
Jesus reached in and saved me from the murky darkness of sin that I had been submersed in all of my life. I reached up and grasped Him with all my being. And I still cling to Him today!
​
I journey through the valleys an mountaintops of this world with the unconditional love, help, and strength of my savior.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him. ~Revelation 3:20a
