About

Dear Readers,

I live on an airfield, which is not for everyone, but I find it exhilarating. It gives me plenty of opportunities to write and take photographs. So like everyone else who wants to break into the field, I submit my work. And yes, rejection is part of the game, but if you persevere you can reach your goal.

I love my family. They are a Godsend. I have three beautiful children and four grand-babies who provide loads of comic relief.

I do have a passion for Christ — He makes me happy. I actually like worshiping the Lord and learning more about him. Yes, I read the bible. I call it the “manual” which is necessary to succeed in life. Remember: Jesus said, “All things are possible to him who believe.”  Mk 9:23

May God Bless you all richly,

Lady D

  1. Hi Dei, I found you, just the one I need, you said I’m a background worker — the kind that keeps everything running smooth, but you never know why exactly.

    No I don’t need help with Spiders, I have decided to share my home with them but I’m still a bit put out they also want to sleep in my bedroom with me and the dogs…. but they don’t zzzzz .

    I need you help with the Blog, for some reason when I answer a comment nobody is receiving my reply, perhaps you can work out what I’m doing wrong, I really hope you can help? I’ve lost it…. No not the Spider, my patience !

    Love Anne

    • When it comes to the blog world, you’re way ahead of me, Anne. I see your comments here and on other sites all the time, so I don’t think too many are slipping through the electronic cracks.
      Praise God!

  2. You look nothing like I pictured you. We look a lot alike… You are stunningly beautiful too! Great about page thank you for sharing. btw I am adding you to my “kind Pages” today. Your link should be up and active by the end of the afternoon. ;-) God bless -WATW

    • Stunningly beautiful is way over the top for just plain old me, but thank you for your kind words. And thank you for adding me to your kind pages. I really appreciate it!
      Thank You and God Bless,
      Dei

      • I just saw your latest post of you in front of the bridge,I stand by what I said, but I understand that you prefer to remain humble, it’s okay. I am happy to list you on my directory, I hope LOTS of people find your blog and that you find great friends because of it …maybe even find a buyer who wants one, some or all of your photos, who knows?, you have been a great friend to me. blessings to you and your family. -WATW

      • Thanks, WATV. I’m hoping to set up a blog roll soon where I can feature you too. How do you post the basic link so it goes to your current front page? or does one have to pick a story they really enjoy?

      • Hi Lady Dei,
        I just saw your question about how to add links..you do that from your dashboard under links…I am not sure if you still need help with this, let me know via email if you do and I’ll see what I can do to help walk you through it, wordpress has a great tutorial for that stuff too, they are so user friendly, so if that seems easier try the “help” menu…God Bless my friend I apologize I didn’t see this sooner.-WATW

  3. Dei,
    You are a great person and a very good photographer. I really like your glider pictures. I’m sure you will be discovered some day!

    • Hi Dei I was not sure if you did accept this award but their was a comment left about a link which seems to have disapeared too anyway if you did I appreciate that you also feel we are one in The Lord, and are part of God’s family thank you for your friendship and the fun times we share and the serious ones but you are a good sport. How are you going with the sacks?

      Just asking Annie

      • P.S I just saw your like Dei and your comment so then since you are my Sister in the Lord can I borrow your top ? I have just the right skirt to wear it with and would you like to borrow my new car? it would go well with your jeans. You are special my friend.

        Hoping – Love Annie

      • Your wheels are definitely crazy! And if you lived closer you could borrow whatever you wanted! The links did get messed up on that last deal, but I made it. Have you noticed, or is it just me, but ever since the snow flakes started floating across WordPress it’s been a little iffy?

      • Now Dei don’t knock the snow it’s the only snow I’ll see, I did ask for you if you remember to send me some in an envelope but I’m still waiting… all I have got so far is a water stained letter…it must be raining at the post office but the name was fussy and it did came from America so perhaps you sent it…. but there was no snow!

        Disappointed Annie

  6. Thank you for the like on my blog! I live right around the corner from an airstrip and have been able to take off and land here with my pilot friends. If you think you might want to fly in – let me know and I will meet you!

  8. Hi Dei I can’t contact you by e-mail Telstra is haveing problems and a lot of us in Australia are unable to send or receive e-mails.

    I need your prayers My Sister in New Zealand died last night, Anne is my 1/2 Sister we had the same Dad, I was named after her, she was 71, it was sudden, please pray I’m hurting so much.

    Love Anne

      • Thank you Dei, I asked a few to pray for me on the Blog and I do feel comforted but so lost at the moment, I did a post, I don’t know why perhaps to say goodbye in a tangible way not sure but It calmed even though I couldn’t stop crying, I will miss Anne greatly she was my only blood relative… long story.

        Thank you for your prayers they strengthen and heal.

        Love Anne.

  9. Hi Lady D thank you for all your support and encouragement on my Blog and for your prayers you are a very dear friend to me and I have enjoyed Blogging with you and look forward to sharing with you more.

  15. Hi Dei my turn, I have been nominated for a few Awards by people wanting to encourage and uplift me and I now also have the opportunity to do this for others. I’m very thankful for their kindness and for their faithfulness to do as God asks us to do as the Body of Christ and that is to take an interest in what others are doing for Him and encourage them in this. So I would like to nominate you for the same reasons to encourage, commend and uplift you and so you can do the same for others.

    • Wow, thank you so much for the honor, Annie. Time is of the essence these days, so I’m not sure if I can fulfill the all the requirements just yet, but I love the awards nonetheless.
      God Bless You, Sister in Christ.

      • Hi Dei I know that you are busy but there is one that like the King of Kings award which you already accepted you just receive it unless you want to bless others with it and that is the Candle Lighting Award. Jeanne has just done a really good assessment of it http://womenswindow.com/2012/01/11/candle-lighter-award-nominations/

        Now what about I come and help you with your load , no problem for me I can supervise while you do the work …together we will get through it my friend, I’m always willing to lead a mouth, by the way no need to cook a Baked Dinner every night, once a week I’m happy to eat out and I will even wash my own clothes one a month to give you a break …sounds good doesn’t it!

        Helpful Annie

      • Dear helpful, Annie. If you came to help, we would never stop talking! Henceforth, the workload, along with the laundry, would pile mountain high! :)
        When I get a chance, I will investigate the candle lighter award. Sounds nice, no long list of requirements!
        God Bless You!

  16. Wow I knew you would agree so I booked my flight ,and packed my bags, how great to sit and talk to my precious Dei in person for hours and hours, how wonderful I must practice. Wow I’m so excited the dogs keep barking, I hope they settle down in the plane and guess what I’m bringing back your spiders with all their babies Aunts and Uncles and Grandparents, Wow will tomorrow ever get here . Just one thing is your guest bedroom big enough for my Mobility Scooter and attachments if not perhaps we will need to swap rooms but just for a few months of course, till you can put on an extension. Well my friend try to get some sleep I know you must as excited as I am, Wow it’s just so good!

    Excited Annie

    • Dear excited, Annie. If you bring spiders, I will give you scorpions in return. And I hope your scooter has four-wheel-drive because I live upstairs. :)

  18. Hi Dei not sure if you received my reply others haven’t but just want to let you know in regards to the Award you don’t have to post it, you can just accept it and say thanks as you have done, accept the blessing but pass it on only if you feel you want to, I chose you for this award so you would have no extra pressure and if there is another award that has the same idea I will choose you to receive it again, I appreciated your honesty in saying you were very busy and couldn’t handle anymore Awards with all the regulations, some can and you have done so in the past, I still have problems with them as you will discover soon.

  19. Wow Dei, how do I thank you for letting me tickle your funny bone on your Blog, you have no idea how much I enjoyed doing so especially after some very intense comments on other Blogs. I use to sit and laugh at what came out and wonder where it came from, of course God gives us the Gift of Laughter but I’m sure I must have left you pondering about that woman from down under! I have added you to my Fun Award, no rules just fun. Thank you and I always feel save up here leaving a comment no spiders or scorpions.

    Grateful Annie

  21. Hi Dei there is a very important need… our Blogging friends Wendy and Bob, our Brothers and Sisters in The Lord, are going through a very hard time, Wendy had a heart attack and is in a coma, Bob is asking us as Christians to pray for her, all the details are on my Blog.

    Christian Love Anne.

  24. Hi Dei I found out who the Hacker is and there is a group of Bloggers that he is working with sadly they think they are doing God’s will but He showed me this morning in an awesome way that He was against their evil abuse toward me, it was not His will that they made me suffer, how anyone could believe that our God of Love would deliberately plan to hurt us as they have done me must be very deceived I wish I could talk to you I need someone to cry with but thankfully Ron is taking me out for lunch, he is amazed that God has once again touched my life with a sign and wonder I feel so Loved Die but I’m hurting to know that those who I believed cared about me all the time were plotting to harm me I cant use Freedomborn as my name at this time they are preventing me from doing so I have used my Pen name but I will contact you by e-mail in the future.

    Christian Love Anne

    • Wow, I am amazed that someone even wanted or had the time to sabotage someone’s blog. It makes no sense to me. But I’m glad you’ve been blessed, and that Ron is there to comfort you. E-mail me any time.
      God Bless You!

  28. What an excellent Blog.
    I enjoyed the pics and the scriptures that went along with the pictures.
    Very meaningful and insightful. Thank you
    Jesus is my Savior too and His love shines thru your work and words.
    God bless you. It was great to stumble into your sight. God knows
    when we need refreshment. Thanks

    • Thank you, Phyllis. You are a dear sweet angel. I was feeling drained so your words of encouragement was much needed. God also knows when we need to hear something special. Thank you for that! God Bless You!

    • Thank you, Annie. I had an Easter egg hunt for the little ones today. Fun, fun, fun! They had to learn what the cross was all about first. :)
      Happy Risen Lord Day! Rejoice in the Lord Day! I’m trying for something better than the pagan word Easter. How about, Merry Resurrection Day!
      God Bless You & Much Love!

      • Hi Dei, so did I with all the neighbourhood kids, I told them after so they could give thanks and meant it. I don’t have any problem calling it Easter the same with celebrating Christmas they are both remembrance of Jesus Christ regardless if Pagans celebrate them too in honour of their gods, who cares what they do God doesn’t, they have mostly rejected Him. He knows our hearts and why we celebrate them, to us they are Holy days not Pagan rituals and that is all that matters … Easter is not pronounced Easter in most other Languages, lets stop being controlled by words or argue about them as the Scriptures tell us, it just leads to division, if they are not to deceive as far as the meaning of Scriptures like the Cults do, they have no relevance, it’s what is in our heart that matters.

        Christian Love Annie.

  35. Hi Dei, we will be leaving for our Holiday’s soon and I need to pack which takes me a little longer then most, so I will have to limit my Blogging, I will be doing a Post to let everyone know but just wanted to tell you personally. I will be taking a lap top but it is a bit primitive but I hope to be able to do those Power points that I have promised, perhaps Lili would like a special one too.

    We will back at the end of May, take care my friend, I will miss you but still hope to keep in touch even if limited.

    Christian Love Annie.

  37. Hello Lady Deidre,

    Wanted you to know that I’ve been thinking of you, and praying diligently for you! May the Lord bless you and keep you in His loving care! May you experience His resurrecting power today, in a very special and real way! May He hold you close! Love, Paulette

    Don’t forget to say hi to my little buddy! :-)

    Reply ↓

    • Thank you so much, Paulette. The night I asked you for prayer I felt the Holy Ghost in a mighty way. I so appreciate your prayers — things are getting much better here. I’ve been pretty busy with the glider port. I posted about your little buddy a minute ago. And when I told her you said hello last time, she smiled and wanted to listen to the Joy song again. :)
      Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear friend, and may God Bless you mightily today!

  40. i remember, my grandfather, just like you, who had full faith in Christ, use to teach me so many good things….and read scriptures from bible for me…and when i visited your blog…memories of my grandfather were refreshed, who unfortunately, presently is engaged in the service of The Christ…really loved your blog…
    may i know where you dwell..

  41. Hi De one of my Pen names is Melodyanne , I had to use it now because, the Hackers have blocked all ways for us to access Freedomborn our Blog, they have also crashed my Computer two times. WordPress are not answering when I write but perhaps they are not getting my communication. One thing I know for sure God always has the Victory and evil begets evil, so sadly they will reap what they sow but please pray as I will do that they will come to heart repentance, it is not God’s will anyone suffers eternally, it is their choice, Truth only causes concern when we are in error, if they have fear of The Truth we share and so seek to stop us Blogging, it is because they are fearful and deceived or if it’s for power or money or even revenge, they will find as God tells us, when people hurt His redeemed Children they bring their own punishment. Although the Police are aware we will seek no revenge but will look for a new way to stay in touch with all our American Christian friends.

    I have been blessed by your friendship Dei and enjoyed the times we shared even the spiders and other critters :-D I will keep in touch with you by e-mail as I’m not sure if you will receive this comment, I will let you know about our new Blog or if we continue with Freedomborn on WordPress, take Care till then and God bless you and your Loved ones greatly.

    Christian Love from both of us – Anne ( Melodyanne)

    • Hello, Melody aka A & R.
      I hope you’re well. The internet can be frustrating! I dislike the problems caused by maliciousness. Hope you can get back online soon! Looking forward to the new blog — see you soon!
      God Bless you and your internet connection!

    • Hello,

      Thank you for checking up on me — life got a bit crazy here. Not sure when I’ll be able to get back into the swing of things.

      Thinking about you and hope you’re well!

      God Bless you!

  43. I would value your prayers Dei my Mum phoned to let me know my Brother is in hospital fighting for his life, his kidneys are failing and our little furry friend Monty is also very sick and in a animal hospital, all in one day, I commented a few times but it is hard to focus, I should do a Post and ask for prayer but I’m feeling a bit lost, please pray I’m very worried, Alfred is not a Christian but I hope he remembers what we have shared with him over the years even if he rejected it at the time.

    My little Monty was so scared when we left him with the Vet, he is so gentle and loving, he just did not understand.

    Thanks, I have asked some others to pray too – Christian Love Anne
