"Keep the Faith, for it will help you conquer your fears and brighten your life to its fulliest."
Hello to all. I am Crystal from New Mexico. Born and raised country girl. I lived in Phoenix, AZ and Las Vegas, NV. Just moved back to my home state a little over a year ago. The money was good in both states but I've always wanted to come home.
I've spent 14 years in the travel industry. From travel agent to hotel auditor. I really enjoyed the job but it became a rut for me. When I moved back to NM, I tried being a teller at a bank. That didn't pan out very well, so now I'm currently on the hunt for a stable form of income for me and my daughter, Lilly (She is 2).
As for my personal life, I've been through a lot of heartache like most people in the world. I'm not sure if I just can't pick them or if I have "sucker" written on my forhead. I've been in two unhealthy marriages that ultimatley ended in divorce. The last one took 2 years from the time I left him. The things I went through with them and other relationships caused me to feel less of a person. I felt destined to fail in the world of love. Maybe I just wasn't meant to have that special someone. I am proud to say, I have never done drugs and rarley drink. I had a brief challenge with drinking after my first divorce. I think it was more rebellion because I wasn't allowed to drink when I was with him. It only lasted a couple of months and I realized that wasn't for me.
When my daughter came into my life, so much changed. She has made my life a true inspiration. I have a fondness for singing. Never been in a band like my brother, but I have been in Choir and have sang in competitions (High School). I began to sing songs about Lilly and as she has gotten older, she will request them at night time or nap time. I see a lot of me in her. I used to sing myself to sleep at her age, now she is doing it.
I have 2cats and 1dog. My cats think they are dogs and my dog thinks he is a cat. They have been in my life through all my hardships and have helped me through it all.
Since I've been back home, I've been doing a lot of soul searching. I have always craved knowledge of the Lord. I started trying out different churches and have settled down with First Pencostal. Brother Lovato, really reached out to me in his delivery. I never leave church with a dry cheek. Lilly loves to go and play with all the other children. They color and play christian songs in class. I have so much to learn and thrive on the knowledge. I hope to meet other who can help me learn more. I have so many questions to ask.
I believe God has helped me overcome some tough times and has helped me grow strong for not only myself but for Lilly. God Bless you all for taking the time to learn a little about me. I hope to learn more about all of you.
