Hello fellow believers! I'm Carol 51 in IL, mom of 6 and 4 step, almost all grown and one grandson and another on the way. I'm a registered nurse who works with the elderly and am working on a double-masters degree. I have been blessed by Him in awesome, mind-boggling ways, I have back-slid numerous times since I became a Christian in 1973, unfortunately, but because I finally believe He loves me, now I just want to learn to know Him and love Him more. Relationship not religion.
