to answer Joy' question of the week - SNAKES without a doubt - there's a reason Satan was a snake way back in Genesis...they are evil!

this is Tricia (Trish) Van Zee. i don't yet have a personal blog, but there's lots about me on facebook. im spontaneous and random.

My husband is Lance, and we have 3 sons Avery (9), Carver (5), and Davis (10 months). Lance is self-employed as a finish/trim carpenter. Avery is in 3rd grade at Madison, Carver is in Pre-K at Lincoln, and Davis is cared for by Miss Laura each day while I work at Pella Corp in HR. I manage the areas of compensation, benefits, payroll, and HRIS. i love mondays, because 2 days at home in a row is enough for me. i love tuesdays because my house gets cleaned.

for those who may not know, my parents are Larry & Sheryl Hanthorn (also members of Grace) - i am their oldest daughter.

i believe every morning as im driving to daycare and then work that God puts on the radio the "right" song for me that day. today it was "Voice of Truth". and i was reminded how God spontaneously led me to New Orleans with a group from Grace nearly 3 years ago, and how i have changed since then. i chose to "listen and believe the Voice of Truth". i have always believed, but not always listened. doing both is DYNAMIC! that trip renewed my passion for teens, and brought me back as a leader of Grace GUYs & GALs and i love it! so i also look forward to wednesdays (are you sensing a pattern here?)

i've been too self-sufficient for too many years, and God has been doing a new thing with me by removing my barriers to connecting. i look forward to connecting through this blog.
