I believe John 3:16.   I agree with Anne Voskamp who said,  The world has enough women who know how to do their hair. It needs women who know how to do hard and holy things.

  I am married to Benny Martin. Together we have four children (I have 3 (Shane, Kelly & Dex), he has 1 (Abby))  and  eleven grandchildren (I have 7 (Dakotah, Connor, Natalie, Katelyn, Maygan, Warren, Colton and Avery); Benny has 3 (Jacob, Cayden & Alivia) and one great-grand, Husxton. My life is wonderful! I am blessed beyond measure!

Nothing has given me such a sense of ultimate enjoyment and fulfillment after being a mother as the presence of my children’s children and as I approach the top of my family tree I intend to embrace that status.

Benny and I live in Samantha, Alabama, a small community out in the country where I was raised. My life’s journey has taken many detours but it brought  me home and I have the honor and privilege of living in the home where I grew up.  A home that is full of love and life lessons passed on from my parents.

Someday someone else in my lineage will have the same honor of living on Shepherd Hill and continuing the rich heritage handed down to me.

My favorite season is bird chirping season. I believe there is magic in ordinary days. My favorite place is home.  My life is very complete in Samantha, Alabama!

P.S.  Shane does not like his picture taken, much less posted on the internet.  So let’s keep this a secret.  These pictures are precious because he doesn’t allow them very often.
