Everyone has a story! And I'd like to tell you a little about mine... I placed my faith in Christ at the age of 15, even at that young age I realized that there were radical life adjustments needed to follow Him. I can remember the very first Scripture the Lord used to impact my life, it was in the Book of Matthew. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" Although the riches of the world were far from my grasp then, I knew that He was calling me to lay down the things that I treasured above Him, so that I could experience an abundant life here and beyond. It was the beginning of an incredible love story for me! Since then, my daily desire has been to live out that scripture. And the key to accomplishing that for me was found in the following Scripture written by one of my mentors, the apostle Paul. “And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15 I find myself daily needing to "choose Him" over my own desires, but the more I know of Him, the easier it is to die to me! My passion is to share this adventure with others, helping them to live up to their God-given potential. Following Christ isn't always easy, but it is incredibly fulfilling. I love to speak at retreats, conferences, and special events. My adventuresome spirit has lead me to places around the world to teach and to minister in a variety of ways. I am always amazed at how the Spirit of God connects us and transcends even language barriers. I strongly believe in the ministry of the local church and have been a part of ministry staff in years past. But my greatest joy is pouring into others in such a way as to see real, authentic, life change! There's nothing like it. I am currently becoming certified as a Life Coach, and I'm looking forward to coming alongside individuals to assist them in making progress both personally and spiritually. It's something I have enjoyed doing informally for many years, with great results. Just a few quirky things about me... The only ice cream I will eat is Baskin & Robbins "Chocolate Fudge", thrift stores are my weakness, and my two Jack Russells, "Pete" and "Penny" keep me young! (And stressed) I hope to meet you soon and to hear your story, perhaps we can write the next chapter of our lives together...
