Jacqueline's Story

I always wanted to be a Biblical Archaeologist/ missionary when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a pipe dream. As it turns out, they were right...for now anyway. I try to emulate Christ first...Elisabeth Elliot second. I challenge myself to develop the characteristics that made her the woman she is. I started reading her books when I first graduated college. Her goal... the imitation of Christ. I've got a long way to go. I write (music, stories, entries in my journal)and play piano to blow off steam. Sometimes I just go on long drives and sing with the Indigo Girls when I'm particularly "messed up." I used to run many miles (in rain, sleet or snow) when I was having a hard time. I need get back into that! I've lived in D/FW, TX, Fairfax, VA, San Antonio, TX and Elizabeth City, NC. We move with my husband's job. I suffer from an acute case of wanderlust so... I love it! The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Bill Eubank, because I owe him a big apology.. I'm crazy about my dog Stanley (the rough-coated, shorty-Jack Russell Terrier) and I love to read historical fiction, British literature and biographies. I also love digging in the dirt and planting seeds and bulbs. I enjoy watching documentaries on the history, national geographic and discovery channels. I also really like those silly sappy holiday shows on the Hallmark Channel. I love to sing in the car and in the shower and I tend to sit at my piano and play for hours. Every day is a surprise to me. I never had a big plan that I'd be married by a certain time or have kiddos by a certain time, or even that I'd have one certain career. In fact, I have too many interests. Sometimes it feels like a blessing and sometimes it feels like a curse. One day I want to take flying lessons and the next I want to write a novel. I have a practical side though that keeps me from doing the more flamboyant things I'd like to do. I'm always trying to find ways for God to use that crazy characteristic in my life and in the lives of others. The joy is in the journey. I'd love to see Mrs. Erwin, my piano teacher, again. She made me believe that I had a gift when I couldn't believe it of myself. She also tried to help me learn not to "freeze up" when playing in front of others. Still haven't mastered that one. Wish I knew what career aspirations to have. Dream job: Mom and Biblical Archaeologist/ missionary. Somehow those two jobs don't seem to match up. :o) So far I've been a choral director an...Expand for more
d history teacher and have tried to have as much Christian influence on my students as possible. Hoping to finish grad. school and do all that other one day. Secretly, I'd just love to be a mom and fulfill all those other dreams when they're grown and doing their thing. I like what I like, not necessarily what's in style, and I tend to wear clothes until they wear out. I prefer not to advertise with my clothing or accessories. I shy away from things with obvious labels. I still have clothes that I was wearing as a senior in high school. I don't really like to shop. It isn't relaxing to me at all. In fact, I'm procrastinating right now because I need to get out and go do some necessary shopping. My hubby is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. He is a spiritual mentor, amazing with people, motivated, kind, and my very best friend. He is VERY patient with me and I'll never believe that I deserve him. He says the same thing about me. Maybe that's why we have such a great marriage. :o) I was kind of a pensive, old soul as a child. I remember thinking at the ripe old age of 8 that I wanted to live life with no regrets. Well, guess what? I have them. I allowed someone that I cared for deeply to die without telling them how much I cared for them and how much our time together meant to me and influenced me. It even, in a very direct way, brought my husband to me. I needed to apologize to him. He hurt me, but I think I also hurt him, and I wish I could go back and do the whole thing over again. At the time, my opinion of myself was so low that I couldn't believe someone like him could love someone like me. I didn't trust him and I didn't completely trust God. I couldn't believe what I thought about him would matter to him anyway. Over a year ago, inexplicably, I started to wonder if maybe it did. When I went to look him up and try to mend fences, I found it was too late. I keep telling myself that God is bigger than that circumstance. It's been tough. He was such a beautiful person. Jenn "Dyer" Castrillo is my oldest friend. We met on the first day of Kindergarten and we've been friends since then. We've been together through all the big events in our lives. She's a gift from God. I'll never forget driving to "the farm" in Midlothian, TX and laying on the top of the van with Dad and my brothers. There was a spectacular meteor shower in the sky and at the same time, millions of fire flies were putting on a show by the creek. Spectacular!
