Quick-witted, savvy, intelligent, and a believer who’s life has been completely changed by Him. My life journey has taught me to accept who I am and what He has created me to be. Here’s a little bit about me…

Personally

First and foremost, I am a child of God. Everything I do, I do under His care and direction. But it wasn’t always like that. Without Him, I’m just a victim of abuse most of my life, an addict, and hurting soul. With Him, my life has been turned into a message of hope - anything is possible for those who believe. It does not matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or what others say about you… He can take your mess and turn it into a beautiful reflection of His glory.

My passions include helping those who can not help themselves, or have been tossed aside by others as lost causes. I am deeply committed to helping abused women and children find the kind of healing that changes lives. I have a passion for serving those who are “gifted” from God with what others may call a disability. As a mother of a so-called “disabled” child, I know first hand the pain and challenges to be faced. I also know through Him, everything is a gift, if you use it to help others.

I love classic cars, especially Cadillacs, but have a particular fondness for my 1964 “3-On-A-Tree” Rambler, a last token of my late grandfather who committed his life to giving my family a good future. I’ll be sure to post pictures of it’s restoration which has officially begun 2008 I love spending time with my children and keeping in touch with my creative side through painting, drawing, and more.

After recent potentially life-threatening illness battles, I have a new found appreciation for health and life. Personal goals include quitting smoking, staying drug and alcohol free, and improving my health and that of my family’s.
