Who is the hostess of LOV?    Let me tell you a little about
myself…
My name is Nicol Michelle Epple. I am delighted to be a
daughter of the King.  I love my Father and Lord and am
so thankful that He allows anything of Himself to be glorified
through me.  Apart from Him I can do nothing; anything of
virtue that is in me is from Him.
Our Father gave me the “desires of my heart” when He
brought my husband and I together 19 years ago. We have
been blessed with four precious children. (Also, a desire of my heart-
to have two boys and two girls. God is so good!)  Also, part of our
household and family is Cayla our four-year-old Golden
Retriever.  I could not forget to mention as I would hear her
whining for lack of attention!  She is our first family dog  No
one had told me that we would be getting another toddler added to
our family!
      My life is full and brimming with blessings. I find great
fulfillment in being a help-mate to my husband, mother to my
children, and manager of our home. Though I fall quite short
many times, I remain in the Vine and trust the Lord to
complete that which He began in me.  My life, as I am sure
yours as well, is quite full. My children learn their academic, as
well as their spiritual and life lessons, primarily at home. Among
other things, I help with my husband’s business doing book-
keeping.  Presently, as LOV is being launched, we are
opening an online-shoppe- “For Your HEART &
HOME”-selling books, home décor, tea pots and accessories,
and gifts. All things I love. Come stroll the shoppe.

My interests and passions are many, a few of which are named
here. If morning time allows I study the bible (several versions
sometimes at once-NKJ, ESV, Amplified, and the
NIV being the main ones) with a concordance, blank
 
journal, and pen. During this quiet time I usually have a strong
cup of coffee colored with hazlenut creme in hand.  A much
enjoyed life pleasure. In spare moments I love to read and look
at beautifully illustrated books. I admit that I have a weakness
for purchasing more books than I have time to read!     

      Different hobbies spark my interest during the different
seasons throughout the year. Summer brings the pleasure of
working in the dirt and caring for a flower garden.   During
Fall I enjoy filling our home with the rich smells of apple
dumplings and pumpkin bread.  During the longer nights of winter
I enjoy cross-stitching and letter writing (which I have not had
much time of late to do).   Then arrives Spring, I am anxious
to get outside and work in the yard.   Chocolate , cheesecake ,
Caesar salads..I love.  “Old” things have always attracted me-
old houses, anything vintage, the Victorian era, “eras-gone-by”,
the lost arts including letter-writing, hand-crafts, etc.
I consider that making a godly difference in someone’s life is a
responsibility as well as one of life’s greatest pleasures, or rather, one of
the Father’s richest blessings.  We all  have such an
incomprehensible influence to those within our sphere of people.  Our
passions speak louder than words.   My love for sharing insights
into His word, for seeing women's bonds broken from His
liberating Spirit, for old-fashioned ways, vintage sundries, books,
and making a joyful, inviting, pretty home has been translated into
