I was raised in church from birth! I knew nothing but Jesus! I strayed from my teaching in my teens, but when I rededicated my life to Him, I wanted everything to please God! I went thru my magazines and if I didn't think it would be something Jesus would read; I threw it out! I did that with every aspect of my life. What I wore, where I went, I wanted everything to be Christlike!

We need every facet of our life to be Christlike

Where Did The “Girl Next Door” Image Go?
GIRL NEXT DOOR
This is my editorial blog for today!
When I saw my first pageant at around 12, the entire family watched as Miss America was crowned as our ideal “girl next door!’!
The qualifications was to never been married or had a baby. As our culture “progressed” that later included abortion and as Vanessa Williams learned, porn was included!
Now Connecticut has crowned the first non-binary candidate (gender neutral)!
Certainly not the image of Miss America’s of the past! I guess their acceptance of who the “girl next door” has changed for the MAO!
Without swimsuit competition, this year's field of contestants will reveal larger women than in the past.

Where did I get the name "Karmyn"??
What's In A Name??
I’m often asked where I came up with the spelling of Karmyn's name. When I found out I was pregnant in 1974, I wanted a unique name to fit the unusual circumstances of her birth! I had been told by my gynecologist in Houston several years earlier that I could not have any more children and I believed him!

But I Want Him, Lord!
Just read an article, “7 Behaviors Women Mistakenly Believe Attract Men (but repel them instead.)”Why can’t women be women, men be men, and let God do the matchmaking?
I think like my husband. He said if he could bottle the love he had for me and sell it, he would make a million dollars the first day! If I could bottle the formula of how our love happened for us, I could make a billion dollars.
One key is a commitment to God and each other to be faithful in marriage and establish a Godly covenant!
We have gotten so self-sufficient and think we don’t need God! With that attitude, you wake up to broken relationships, families, deceptions, and betrayal!
God created us to worship Him, and our sufficiency is in Jesus! To have a happy life depends on our spiritual anchor in our Heavenly Father!
Be the best you can be and the authentic person God created you to be! There is only one unique you! Don’t be someone else!
My answer to my first question is because we don’t want to spend time alone with God and listen to his direction. We pray and ask for His perfect will and then tell Him what we want. Our prayer is like the young lad who prayed for God’s perfect mate but added, “I want her!” ‘Her’ might not be the perfect mate. What we think is our dream might become a nightmare!

Protect what you hear, see and speak!
There's a little song we learn as a child that says, "Oh, be careful little ears what you hear, 0h be careful little eyes what you see and be careful little lips what you speak!"

Memories are Past Experiences!!
When I look back at
memories, I count my blessings for the good and the unpleasant experiences! The
bad ones made me grow in faith, and the good ones gave me hope for
tomorrow!
I am also amazed at how God preserved the little things like pictures, letters, and mementos that gave me joy and now provide wonderful memories to reflect!
These have allowed me access to information and pictures to enhance my love story in my autobiography, AGAINST ALL ODDS, We Found the Perfect Love. When I discovered letters from the fifties to my mother written by my brothers and letters written from Odis to his mom when he was in the Army, I knew they were miracles. I have stumbled onto more information that I would never have known about my past without them!
I am blessed to have these items available to write about my adventure!
