Oh Lord, my God! When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art And when I think that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art How great Thou art, how great Thou art

I am a daughter of our MOST HIGH GOD.
Memories are timeless treasures of the heart as a Christian and most are blessed gifts of God our Father through loving walks/journeys with Jesus Christ King of Kings
And a............

Hello!
am very blessed and grateful for those blessings!  Jesus walks with me hand in hand and heart to heart. Sometimes I stumble and blunder quite a lot as sinners might do, but I dust myself off and get back in step with Jesus.

Besides my passion for Jesus Christ and my Christian Faith, my beloved Chihuahuas  Animal Control stole while I was in Vanderbilt Hospital for 5 weeks are in my heart and prayers for them to return them to their loving mama.  They were my babies.  All were blind and aged from 13 to 19 years of age. It has been horrifically traumatic for me.  
ONE of my bestest friends of the 12 was a tiny 3-pound gray-blue girl Named Fancy with epilepsy with eyes that could not produce tears (dry eyes) so they became ulcerating, though if you gave her antibiotic ointment three times a day they would revert back to pretty eyes, blind from age.
Currently, my health has been practically completely healed thanks to my Vanderbilt a  nd Maury Regional medical teams. Scleroderma is in remission and the old age issues are under control, except for my diabetes.  Praise God through PT I am WALKING AGAIN after years of falling and sometimes injuring myself.
I have rescued four dogs from being dumped here on Shady Lane and on Maxwell Hill; a black and white Pitbull I named Deliah - had her spade and vaccinations given, Harley and Charlie who are Pitbull/Chocolate Lab mix - neutered and are due vaccinations in May, and a feisty/bossy to the other three/loving and entertaining (Chihuahua size) terrier/Chihuahua mix.
I am surely blessed. 
My thoughts are God knew my strengths and led them to me, thus aiding in the ongoing traumatic Animal Control abuse of power by not healing me with that, but by comforting me, though it took months to find some peace again, I am still heartbroken and shredded emotionally.  Need your prayers please, though I will be revealing one page of the blog to explain the best I can this needless tragedy.  MY CHIHUAHUA STORY soon to be on the blog.
Fancy was similar to the image below but she was blue-gray >>>>>>>>





was adopted with two brothers Don (Anthony) and Keith (David) We all grew up together in Lynchburg, Tennessee with my adoptive family Daddy (Lester Ray Hensley) Mama (Nellie Marie Moorehead Hensley), and another brother Larry.  I later found my birth family in Pennsylvania; Mother Virginia, and Renae, and from her second marriage Paula, Rashonta, and Roy Jr.   I went through many episodes of abuse in the adoptive family and throughout my lifetime, however, I loved them all.                         

               

 
I have with my first husband, Carl Michael Tipps of Lynchburg, Tennessee, one daughter Nicole, and three sons., Casey, Travis, and Brody.  Travis and Brody gallantly served in the Marine Corps.  I currently have numerous grandchildren and one great-grandchild.  All are healthy, beautiful, brilliant, and delightful.

My second husband, Robert Lloyd Day, Jr. raised in Apple Valley, Minnesota violently committed suicide at his employer's R.E. Garrison Trucking in Cullman, Alabama January 1st, 2013.  He shot and killed himself in the head. PTSD is cruel and often deadly. 
He had been an awarded expert marksman as a sniper in the Army 101st Airborne serving in Afghanistan.
I will never forget the tattoo of a teardrop next to his left eye after 911.
Bob made it a point to converse with veterans as we traveled.  So many sad or beautiful stories.
                                                                                              


We ran a team over the road big truck long haul for 20+ years.  I enjoyed the travel and meeting folks, but the best part was the CB.  I shared God/Jesus/Bible with anyone who would listen. That alone helped me to stay alert and awake.  Read about his memorial poem here > 




One exceptional witness of God's help is I can tell you this.  I was driving.  Heavy Christmas traffic had begun to lighten up from El Paso, Texas.  I just revved the power up to get our grossed-out load (80,00 pounds) up the big hill in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  Pulling into the fast lane, a car hit the brakes, (the driver had apparently missed his exit) stopped dead in front of me, and the indistinguishable person's head turned toward the exit to another interstate.  Hair went up on my neck as I called to God.  There was going to be a bad wreck.  Big rigs were hitting the shoulder to miss the catastrophe about to happen.  The car LEVITATED to the shoulder!!  It did not pull over!!  It LEVITATED!! We all saw it and could not believe our eyes.  Many a trucker and I discussed the wonders of God all the way to California.
Though I am currently retired/disabled with a terminal autoimmune disease (scleroderma) and hopefully almost at the finish line of breast cancer, I am currently dealing with multiple cysts; I refuse to give up. Scleroderma is horrible navigating its unending issues and symptoms, but I just keep on holding His hand and working through them in my Facebook groups > (20+) Gina Ann Day | Facebook and (20+) 🙏Scleroderma Warriors | Facebook or in this blog at 
Aside from my faith and spreading His word and love to the world, my hobbies and interests are extraordinarily varied.  Not necessarily in order, but here is a sampling of what I enjoy; friends and family, church, and Bible, gardening, writing, reading, online, book clubs, traveling here and abroad, cooking, beading, sewing, bread making, acrylic painting and watercolors, animals, baking, Volunteer's (Go big Orange!) Football, and the Titans, crafting, photography, cookie and cake decorating, canning and preserving, gardening vegetables and flowers, playing basketball and badminton/tennis, swimming and fishing, antiquing, and listening to music 24/7.
 There is a ton of extraordinary adventures seeded in my life and dreams yet to accomplish at age 66 young. If God is willing.

 I reach beyond the world and myself. I reach for Jesus.  Peace! Love! Happiness!
