“Life in a skirt would never hurt anyone.”
I’m a young Christian woman who has been exploring the world of adulthood as of August of 2008. Trying to figure out who I am and who I need to be. With it’s struggles and success, I thank the Lord for every minute, every trial, every quest, and I shall continue to praise the Lord until His work is complete. Looking to Him for guidance in my daily ventures.
I enjoy quilting, gardening, preserving food, crocheting, thrift stores, garage sales, animals, and being with the ones I love!
I grew up in a feminism based world. I enjoyed the Spice Girls and Cyndi Lauper at a young age. Tight pants and low-cut tops were the coveted clothing styles that I longed to look attractive in. I grew up being taught that submission and oppression were one in the same. After researching I came to find that they are most certainly not! Now I am “taking out the trash” so to speak on all that has been taught to me about womanhood.
I embrace femininity, modesty and I cover my head. I covering during the day and at night, I also do not cut my hair. I do get the “normal questions” But that is nothing out of the ordinary. I just simply state I am a Christian.
God has given me a gift, and that gift is being a woman!
I attended college part-time with an undecided major. I took several business classes and began to excel in American Sign Language.
After a series of wonderful events on November 20th 2010 I married my Aaron. Having a family and running a household is a lovely dream of mine. I am picking up on different things and learning lessons that I should have learned years ago on how to be a helper to my homemaking skills, but was too ignorant to care. I enjoy learning these lessons.
I am not that organized and I lean toward being a pack rat – a Spiker trait – this combination is not good and has led me to make goals, stick to projects, not to covet, and live modestly.
I also have somewhat of a ‘quiverful’ conviction. I hope with each child I am blessed with I can raise up a godly group of people and affect generations to come! The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world . I couldn’t ask for a more noble job. (Psalm 127:3).

I am also on my way to a more healthier me! I have lost a total of 60 pounds! I give God the credit! There is no greater feeling then when you overcome the idol of food and overeating! I have self-diagnosed myself to have Polyphagia a fancy way of saying “over-eating” disorder. I worshiped food and my god was my stomach but now I worship God!
