about me… a lot about me.
Ok, I am supposed to name ten things that have happened to me. So, this should be interesting… I hope for your sakes.
1. When I was 14 God told me that I would marry my husband who I did not like at all!
2. I did marry him at 19 and we have been married for 9 1/2 years. Oh, wow does God know us best! We are very happy!
3. I totaled my first car on the first day of driving; in the mall parking lot!
4. The first 3..count them 3 vehicles that I totaled, my dad just happened to be in the area to help me. I take that as God’s provision since I was under 18 all three times.
5. I have been involved in ministry since I was 14.
6. When I first had my daughter, we did not have a lot of money… every time she needed clothes for the first two years, some random stranger would walk up off the street and hand us $50 and tell us it was to take care of our little girl! God is amazing.
7. I nannied for 5 girls when I was 12-17… I know this one’s boring, but I am brain dead at the moment! : )
8. I was raised in a Charismatic church now my husband and I are on staff at a non-denom that really models more of the methodist model…. VERY DIFFERENT!
9. I attended a private Christian school from first grade until I graduated.
10. when I was 5, I left my purse in the grocery cart and did not realize until I was home. (30 minutes away) I prayed that God would keep it safe and he did, I got it back the next day… even though this seems like not a big deal, as a child, it is what God used to prove his existence to me. I have been a prayer person every since and I see Him answer them regularly! He is good.
Hope that I have not bored you!
I am going to tag:

lol well, I guess I say Methodist because that is what it reminds me of… but honestly it is sort of a melting pot. The founders were Presbyterian, methodist and baptist. SO, there you go…some clarification on that “fact”!

Thanks for the tag. I love the new look btw. If you’re anything like me you’ll get bored with it every few months and change it up again! Oh, and next time, if we happen to go somewhere together, I think I’ll drive!

I have not totaled any cars but I did nanny for 5 kids.
How cool that you have been in the ministry since the age of 14–God called me when I was 18.
