HELLO World: The Seven Things About Me
1. I love God more than I have ever loved anyone else.
2. I earnestly and happily have surrendered my life to Christ Jesus’ Lordship.
3. I preached my initial sermon on September 8, 2002 at Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church.
4. I am a Vietnam Era veteran. I served my country as a member of the United States Air Force.
5. One of my spiritual gifts is “helps.” I always have had the desire and the ability to help others, which is why I became a teacher, and why I always have had a heart for serving God.
6. I have a peaceable spirit, but that doesn’t mean that I cannot deal with confrontations.
7. Gospel Music tugs at my heartstrings; even still, I also love to listen to music by the Temptations, Ebonys, Unifics, Temprees, and so many more 60s and 70s R&B/Soul singers.

Congratulations Nadine. Well done.
Thank you Ross. May God be praised, and may He receive all of the glory!
there is a god s church on earth……described in Revelation 12.those who keep the commandments and have the testimonies of Jesus Christ….amen…praise God!!
simeli tagicalesu,
Thank you for your comment. However, I must disagree with you. While Revelation 12:17 is speaking about Christ’s believers, this verse primarily is referring to Israel (the Woman) and her Jewish people who eventualy flee from the Dragon (Antichrist) during the Great Tribulation. Currently, there is a true ekklesia (Christ’s true Body of Believers/Bride of Christ) that exists on this side of the Tribulation and Great Tribulation! Amen and praise God, indeed!
Hello Rev. Nadine,
I didn’t see this blog post, until just a few days ago. I do apologize. I stumbled across a link to the post while googling something. Had I known about it, I certainly would have visited this page in a much more timely manner! Thank you so much, for your glowing remarks pertaining to my blog and Google+ postings! 🙂 You have touched my heart, and I’m truly humbled. To God be the glory, honor, and praise! It’s all about Him!
Yes, you have definitely been an inspiration to me. 🙂 I enjoy the way you expound upon the Word of God, as you share out of your heart! Also, it really struck a chord with me, when I read that you were an educator. (For quite some time, in addition to teaching at the elementary school level, I aspired to teach at the college level. My interest was to teach teachers, primarily in the area of classroom management. I resigned very prematurely, as a result of being strickened with RSD.) It is truly my pleasure to communicate with you via Google+ and our blogs. Your “resume” is very impressive! I’m glad the Lord allowed our paths to cross! 🙂 Although very late in coming, CONGRATULATIONS! You are truly worthy of the “Very Inspiring Blogger Award!” God bless you!
Paulette
God bless you Paulette,
Thank you so much for your continued visits to my blog and for the God kind of loving thoughtfulness you have shown to me. I truly was honored that you would even think of me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award, and that is one of the many reasons why it was more than my pleasure to refer my visitors to your blog. Another reason is because I honestly do believe your blog postings are exceptionally inspirational and motivational.
Yes, I was an educator. Right before I completed my MA degree, God blessed me with an offer to be an Assistant Professor of English, teaching at a small, private college. I accepted, and I stayed with that college for many years. I worked at other colleges/universities, as well as at a public and a private high school. God, indeed, has been good to me, for which I give Him thanks.
I do thank you also for the “impressive resume” compliment. God of course gets all the praise and glory for opening every door He has allowed me to go through. You have a very extraordinary resume, as well. Still, I am sorry to hear that you had to retire prematurely because of RSD. Nevertheless, I am more than confident that God still is using you mightily wherever He has placed you.
Many blessings,
Nadine
