Let me Introduce myself

Hey everyone!  Most of you who read my blog already know me pretty well....some of you, not so much.  

So....let me introduce myself! ☺️
I am Brandi Gunn, just celebrated my 7th wedding anniversary with my husband Eric, who happens to be my rock!!  We live in Northwest Arkansas & have four precious kiddos, Blake, Brook, Kayden and Presley Kaye.  I call Kayden and Presley Kaye (PK) my little bullets!  I'm trying my hardest to raise them to be warriors for Christ!  Blake & Brook live in Texarkana, Ar from Eric's previous marriage.

I was raised in a small southern Arkansas town called Fordyce....our mascot is the only mascot in the nation (that I know of) called the Redbugs!!!  🐞 A Redbug is basically a chigger. 

Believe it or not, I am really shy until you get to know me.  I'm good at smiling and saying hi, but don't expect me to stop, unless I've gotten to know you. Once I'm comfortable and let my guard down, I talk up a storm....you may have to tell me to hush up!!   
I am trying so hard to work on the courage to be able to talk to people of my church that I am not familiar with, but "know" thru the pre-school department or Awana's group, or even other ladies around our church and community that do a variety of things that I may be interested in.  I have realized that when I am out of my comfort zone (home, work & SS class) I tend to clam up and shut up!  For all that know me....this is not me!!! 

Even though I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart when I was a teenager, I truly didn't have a full on relationship with him until 6 years ago, but until 3 yrs ago did I finally turn my thought process around and focus on the bibles word!!  I can't believe what I was missing!!! I'm not an expert and I'm still learning.  I am still working on reading the bible all the way thru.  I know....work in progress. 

Almost 7yrs ago, my momma died....well actually she was murdered.  WOW....I use to hate that word and couldn't even say it, much less type it!!  
This has led me to finally wanting to share my story in hopes to help someone out there.  Without having a foundation and having Jesus in my life, there was no way I could have made it without him!!   It has been a rough road, it's still a roller coaster some times, but not near as many twists and corkscrews as in the past!  

I am SO EXCITED for what God has in store for my family!!  

I AM BREAKING OUT OF MY SHELL!!!  

GOD IS MY COMFORT ZONE!!! 

I hope you will follow along with me on our journey!!  If you have any questions, please fill free to send an email...I would love to hear from you!!
