INTERESTING FACT ABOUT ME:

I weighed 12lb. 5oz. when I was born.

I am so thankful that I was raised in a Christian home. I was saved at a very young age through a Good News Club that my mother taught. I was baptized and then became the youngest person to become a member of our church when I was only 7.

Growing up in a small country church I learned at an early age what it meant to minister. I started singing in the choir and playing piano at church and my mothers clubs when I was only 9. I sang my first solo before I could even read, I remember standing on a chair and singing by the pictures on the song book my mother had made.

Now I’m married with 3 wonderful children and more than anything I want to pass that attitude of service onto them. God doesn’t ask us to have all the know-how, experience, or answers when he calls us to serve. He just asks that we be willing.

I’ve often thought I don’t have much of a testimony to share. But I’ve learned God didn’t have to save me from alcohol or drugs; it’s enough that He saved me from Hell.
