  43. Hello my name is Natasha Sabine. I live in Fort Worth Texas, Just moved back in with my parents :-(. I an 31 years old and I have 3 beautiful daughters. Elizza is 14, Janet is 10, and Michelle is 9. My birthday is April 18th.. 32 here I come. I have been truly blessed to be apart of this study Renee Swope. You have an immaculate way of reaching out to us women from your heart through God’s Word. This has been a very hard study for due to the fact that you have touched every part of my life as if you had been sitting right next to me throughout my whole life. In my free time I love to read. Books seem to be the biggest part of my life. My children are right there with my books. The only thing now is that they are growing up way too fast. They don’t need Mommy as much now. They tend to get too busy for me now. But, they aren’t ashamed to crawl into my lap and sit and watch TV, or for that matter to curl up with me to take a nap, or just to say they
    love me. I haven’t been able to take them anywhere due to lack of transportation. So we have had to miss a lot of church. Which is really braking their little hearts. So that hurts me also, a lot. All I can do I ask God to fill these voids. Thank you everyone for all of your grace. In Jesus’ most Holy and precious name I pray
