"I'm from Texas."

I was raised in a Christian, Navy family. I prayed to Jesus to be my savior when I was only 2, then I was baptized when I was 6. I spent the early part of my life surrounded by church and learning about being a Christian. When I moved away from home and made choices independent of my parents' influence, I stopped attending services, and gradually I turned my back on Jesus entirely. Oh, I still believed, but there was nothing in my life that showed the fruit of the spirit; I believed, but I had no desire to follow.

In 2004, while I was going through a lot of stressful events, I began attending services at Quest Community Church in Lexington. Since then, I joined a Life Group, and learned deeper knowledge about being a Christian and about me. I learned that being a Christian isn't merely about what happens after death, but that a true relationship with Christ transforms ones life. On April 30, 2006, I prayed to ask Jesus to be Master of my life. I'd be happy to discuss this with anyone who is curious - my life took an interesting journey to the place where I needed this prayer. I am now learning what it means to listen to and live in God's will.

I was born in Key West, and lived with my parents in DC, TX, Iceland & CA before I got married. As my father was in the Navy, home was always really Texas, where my grandparents lived.

I am married. My husband and I have two sons, born in Lexington, in 1989 and 1994.

We met at Rice University in 1978, married in 1982, and lived in Houston until we moved to Nicholasville KY in 1987. I worked as a systems programmer until my oldest was born. Now I do part-time data entry and scanning for a records imaging company, on an on-call basis. My older son is attending Rice University.

In 1991, my husband and I began to explore the poly lifestyle. I have been in many relationships since then. I have a partner who moved to Lexington to live closer to me; our bond and commitment is as strong as that between married partners; he and his wife are now part of our extended family. My husband has a partner in Brazil for whom he can say the same. I have other partners who share love with me, scattered about the country. In my journey with Christ I am rediscovering Gods plan for marriage and learning how reconcile my life choices with God's plan for me. Some of the sexual relationships I had outside my marriage failed under their own weight. Many have survived and changed in deep friendships that are more in line with God's plans for me.

In the past, I had a very intense D/s relationship which has now ended. I still identify as submissive, but my Master is Jesus.

I am currently going through a class called No Stones at church, based on curriculum from Life Ministries. I am learning to heal from past damaging choices; to repair the lost intimacy in my marriage, and how to relate in a God-honoring way with all those who love me.

This bio is a work in progress. I update it occasionally.
