I became a believer in Jesus Christ at the age of 9 in the Nazarene Church in San Jacinto, CA. I have loved Jesus and all that He is from that time. I wanted to be in the church doors as much as possible from that point on! I am married to my high school sweetheart, James and have four beautiful grown children. We have a busy home as we are raising 3 of our nieces and nephews.

They dont know that I love photography and art!

What is your biggest challenge?

My biggest challenge is to move forward in the face of my fear. To believe that I am enough even when I dont know something or haven't been through a particular season in my walk with Christ.

What is your favorite quote?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
