Sanctified Singles

My real name is Susan but I have used the name dovebird or
dove for quite some time now. That name came from a vision
I had of healing years ago. I am 40 yrs old and the parent
of four unique and wonderful children, two sons and two
daughters. The two youngest are still at home. I am finding
that I miss my babies time goes by so quickly!! It's almost
grandparent time for me....YIPPPEE...but mums the word I
won't let my eldest know that.

I have been biblically divorced twice and it has been 7
years since my last divorce. I did not marry men that
sought the Lord in thier lives and I cannot take back
those years but they have helped mature me into the person
I am today. I grew up in Northern Michigan most of my
life and it is where I hope to return to some day but as
the Lord leads. After the stress of dealing with my failed
relationships and the fallout I was diagnosed with various
health problems. That has caused an inability to seek
gainful employment and it is this area I am working on
and seeking the Lord in.

One of the first things you come to know about me is that I
am a very open person, I tend to not hide things because the
Lord can use people that are transparent. I do not enjoy
digging up my past but if it can help another see where I
have come from and what God can do I will share it. I have
lived through sexual abuse, physical and mental abuse, moderate
health problems, children not interested in the things of the
Lord, panic attacks, addictions, co-dependancy, depression,
pornography, substance abuse in my teens, court battles and
ex battles, several pre-marital relationships and more.
Many of these areas I have healed in and some the Lord will
continue to work in and through me. I share these things
because you can see I too am human and the Lord is mightier,
He is stronger than anything the enemy can throw at us!

I thank the Lord every day for the mighty works he has done
in me. Where once I could not love, give or accept I now have
a heart for others that is awe inspiring to me. I learned to
love me and I still have a long way to go but again God is so
wonderful there are no words to compare.

I have searched for my calling for many years. I had a near
death experience at age 3 that I can still feel vividly today.
The Lord has worked through me in visions, discernment and I
have done spiritual warfare since an early age where no one
ever taught me how. I was raised Roman Catholic and received
the Holy Spirit at age 13. I write poetry and write things
through the Holy Spirit. I am non denominational because God
is not a denomination.

Some of the things I love are; computers and web design of
course and believe it or not I love to laugh. I can find
humor in the most tiny places where others are giving me that
deer in the road look..lol. I try to see the best in
everything life is too short not too and I value family and
friendships. I am a romantic at heart, a deep thinker, avid
communicator, intelligent and compassionate. I don't think
I could truly be happy in this life if I were not contantly
creating something with my hands, crafts, sewing and things.
I love to listen to christian music in fact I rarely listen
to anything else. I love the new christian rock that is out
and WOW has christian music changed!! PRAISE GOD.
Because I was raised in California and Michigan I am not
truly content unless I am by water this is something we
have greatly missed living in Indiana. I love to read and
study and my favorite teacher is Joyce Meyer. She has
a way of making things so black and white and yet funny
that you just stand there in revelation.

Things that bring me peace are candles, alone time with
the Lord, plants, animals, beaches and water, writing,
journaling, praying, thunderstorms, walks, sunsets, hugs
and affection, camping, fishing.I am sure there is more I
have such varied interests it is unreal.

I tend to get over exuberant when I write so I will cut
this short but it gives you an idea of who I am and what
I am about. If you have read all of this you deserve a
reward......hehe. Thank you for reading this page and may
the Lord richly bless you in areas you never dreamed of.

My mission is to glorify God and lead those christians who have lost
their way into a deeper single and sanctified relationship with their
heavenly father. It has been 7 years since my second divorce and
after much healing and growth, I now feel led to reach out into
the singles ministry. I formerly moderated a Yahoo group and have
since then moved into creating this website.

Divorce is not easy, parenting is not easy with two parents let
alone one. All the things we used to enjoy in a marriage are now
temptations to us, things we are not to partake of any longer and
my o my does that hurt. My heart pains to see so many christian
singles lost and lonely because even though I have healed, I am
still walking that path myself. There are many times I have not
felt worthy of witnessing or helping others because I have such
a "cracked pot" syndrome myself but after watching a video at
our church it opened my eyes in this area. So many years I figured
the Lord could not use me until I was pure, holy, totally cleansed
of every strong-hold and sin in my life and I was wrong. All of us
can be spiritual parents to others, friendship and love is all that
God requires. Remember the saying, "God is not interested in our
ability but our availability"? This is so true however, we too must
search the deeper things of Christ. We must immerse ourselves in
everything that is of him so when we are faced by the enemy we can
stand firm in the hours of battle and temptation.

Yes, Christian singles, we are sanctified and given the power to
walk in authority, peace, contentment and sound mind. But we will
never know those truths until we reach for them and activate them
by total submission and obedience to the things that are in Christ.
Even as I speak for myself I speak for you as well. I beseech us to
walk the narrow path, the one where the true love of our life is
calling and waiting. We will fail many times and veer off the path
but his call is always there gently wooing us back to his heart.
When we can rest and be settled in our first love it is then that
the spectactular things he has waiting for us will emerge.

My children and I moved from Northern Michigan to Southern Indiana about 7 years ago. While Indiana can never replace Michigan we have made it our home and have grown where we are planted.
My children are ages 14,16,18,20. The eldest daughter is attending I.S.U. and my two youngest still reside with me. We do not have any family in Indiana whatsoever and that makes things a little difficult. We attend a church that is non denominational and there are times that I do struggle to get my children to go. Even though my walk with the Lord has been a long one, I failed in truly teaching my children about the Lord at an early age. I just pray over them, annoint my home, play my christian music and let God do the rest of the work. Earlier in our family we did a lot of camping, fishing and beaching but it has been a long time since we have had the funding to do this. If anyone knows of some beaches within our area give me a holler.....lol. I try to get my teens to do things with me and most of the time they don't want to do much with the old mom! Every now and then I succeed and it reminds me of the all the things we did together as a family when they were much younger.

My mother lives in Michigan and is a retired MSW. My father lives in Michigan and Florida and is a retired civil engineer. I am close to my parents and try to maintain as much contact as possible infact I am flying out this weekend to be with them for a few weeks. My grandmother also lives with my mother and she is still active, lucky lady...lol.

I came from a divorced family so I cherish family very much! After losing those in your life that you love on a daily basis you learn to not take things for granted. I even my miss my children letting me hug them. Sometimes I sit on them and hold them down and then I get my hugs...hehe. My youngest child is the most affectionate of the bunch. She still crawls in my moms lap now and then. Each of us are gifted in our areas as everyone is. My eldest is studying elementary education and is the responsible and dependable one. My second eldest is kinda free spirit, he enjoys going where the wind blows him and is gifted in electronics, woodworking and mechanics, he is also the type person that would give you all he had. My third eldest is the genuis in the family and once in a while I have to remind him that he is not 30 haha. He is competitive, intelligent and energetic. My youngest is a social butterfly, she is artsy enjoys being with people more than she enjoys school studies and she is sensitive to others. That is about it for now, I will update as things change in our lives.
