Growing up I didn't have a foundation that was built on the Lord. I understood the gospel and trusted in Christ when I was 21. I have been attending Grace since March of 2014. I walked my husband Tommy through the doors of Grace in 2016, got married in 2018, and we have raised and watched our two daughters Ahrya and Jhene establish their faith in kids ministry. My childhood looked completely different to what I have been blessed with to show my children. Life turned around for me when I submitted my life to the Lord. I constantly say, "I still remember the days I used to pray for the things I have now."

What is your favorite season & why?

My favorite season would have to be summer! The days start earlier and last longer, the sun is always out and shining, and its all about having fun in the water and sun with the family.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Growing up as a kid I had always wanted to be a teacher. I would have my stuffed animals sit in a circle as I would teach them letters and read them books. Over time it changed to wanting to be a Marine, a Police Officer, a Pediatrician, and an Elementary School Teacher. As an adult I have learned that I have always had a servant's heart and I'm grateful that it has never changed.

What is your favorite movie?

I like almost any kind of movie. It's hard to say that there is only one favorite to choose from. I do not like scary movies though. As an adult I'm still afraid of the dark and that weird square latch to the attic on the ceiling.

One thing people don't know about you?

I do not like any type of food condiments. Ketchup? Nope! Mayo? Gross! Mustard? Smells funky. Special sauces? No thank you! Plain! Plain! Plain! Plain! Please!!! Unless it's hot sauce, then we're good.

What is your biggest challenge?

My biggest challenge would have to be tied between accepting I am not in control of all things no matter how much I try to plan for everything and learning to say no to prevent myself from burning out. Both are super difficult because of my personality and over confidence that I am super woman.
