ABOUTME

New Life is a reality for me. My walk in the Holy Spirit began many years ago as a young woman. I was, like many, searching for a deeper meaning to my life. I have always had a strong belief in Christianity. I was, and am, known to be quite head strong :). It was with these qualities I went head first into my quest.
I was raised as a child, in a Protestant Church, but at the young age of eighteen, I converted to Roman Catholicism. Now twenty-eight years later I am still growing daily in my Spiritual walk. Our Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit are central in my life! I have been involved in the Charismatic Movement in the Catholic Church for more than 25 years.
I cannot begin to tell you of all the different programs I have utilized to enhance my growth in my faith. Nor could I at this time begin to tell you of all the wonderful blessings that I have had in my life.
The love of our Lord has sustained me through the most difficult of times and the most joyous also! So now I invite you to: come and journey with me from darkness into NEW LIFE!

Update on My Health

As many of you know, over the last several years, since this site first came on line, my health has always be a major concern. I know I don't say much about what the problems are so I thought this may be the time ot enlightened everyone here and especially those who continue to pray for me. All the prayers are greatly appreciated.

I have been battling something called "malignant asthma" for over 28 years now. This only means that I do not respond to conventional treatment for the disease. My doctors tell me I have the worst asthma of anyone in their practice. Unfortunately I have had to be on heavy duty steroids for the last 27 years. I will be on these drugs the rest of my life.

I also have a bleeding disorder called "Von Willendrand's Disease" one of the clotting factors is severely affected so I am prone to some serious bleeding. Once a month I must go in for transfusions to replace this clotting factor.

These two major health concerns have caused so many other problems over the years that they are to numerous to go into. The most challenging have been the two strokes that have compromised my body. By God's healing grace, I have regained the majority of my abilities . I still, and will battle the seizure disorder that developed from the strokes.
In my late 20's I had to have a hysterectomy for two reasons. Cervical Cancer and continuos hemorrhage
There have also been a number of necessary surgeries over the years and rarely have things gone with out serious complications, (mostly from serious bleeding or severe hemorrhage.

My faith is what sustains me, even when I feel like there is little control of these health concerns. I have a wonderful support system in family and dear friends. Many of whom share in our deep passion for the healing grace of Christ!

This year, 2001 has presented more than it's share of challenges and because of these challenges, I have rarely worked on my web site. Many times I have been down for months at a time , needing help to get around the house.

I was recently hospitalized (again) this time for pneumonia. This I have not experienced for about 30 years! While in the hospital the doctor discovered a 'cavity' in my left lung. Initially the doctor's thought it may be TB, fortunately all the test after I left the hospital assured us that there was no TB. The Cavity remains however and there is great concern that it may be cancer. Unfortunately I am a very poor candidate for a biopsy of the lung because if my very high risk surgical status. So we are gone keep an eye on things by x-rays for the next several months... Pray for me Please!
