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 16 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 are Dickey- a parakeet and Cayla our one-
year-old GoldenRetriever.  The latter 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!
Being a daughter of the King my life is about knowing Him
more and sharing Him with others, firstly to my family. My life
is full and brimming with blessings. I find great fulfillment in
being a help-mate to my husband, a loving 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, Amplifies, 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 circle of influence.  
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
Ladies Of Virtue and
ForYour
HEART&HOME.    
        
     
May you be richly blessed and the Lord be glorified..
