Hello siblings in Christ!
I don’t usually bother with these things online, but this forum is important to me, so here goes!
I’ve been lurking here since 2006 so it’s only fair you know something about me
I'm a Lutheran, single by choice, twice-blessed Indigenous female from Alberta, Canada; still on the good side of 40, and a cat mom of 2 (so far).
As I see how the world is going, I’m thankful God didn’t allow me the ability for actual children.
My entire life (since age 4) was spent being a caregiver to my mum who I lost suddenly last year, so my brain is just coming out of shock and trying to discover who I am alone.
Not to overshare, but I know we all get curious! She was born with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and it ravaged her body very young. Goodness was she a prayer warrior though! Her constant faith was an example to me growing up.
We had both been avid readers of RR and this forum, so we knew we wouldn’t be apart for long!
Her dad (my Grandpa) was a Word-based Lutheran pastor, and a damn good one if I can brag. I belonged to Christ before I was known! They helped guide me until they passed unexpectedly (seems to happen a lot around me lol).
Without them, and without an actual biblical church in my area anymore, Spiritual loneliness drove me to finally create an account here.
I’m looking forward to learning from you wonderful souls.
I’m even more looking forward to meeting you all in heaven with Christ
As our dearly missed Jack Kelley said, “You can almost hear His footsteps…”

glad you are joining us for fellowship. 
We have other Canadian 
family of God here.
I've forgotten them here and there myself but have appreciated people gently reminding. At times with certain threads I'll double check the rules just make sure I'm not crossing boundaries.
