My Purpose Statement

I am a Christian Communicator who is passionate about teaching God’s Word with excitement! My purpose is to serve,love and encourage women who feel lost and unusable so they can live a life of purpose and freedom through Jesus Christ.

My Beliefs

I believe that I am a sinner saved by grace! After many years of being angry and blaming God for the biggest tragedy in my life, I later came to understand the true love of Christ. Before I surrendered completely to The Lord,I coped with my anger, fears and feelings of failure by using drugs and alcohol. I thought I had sinned too much for Christ to love me! I was wrong,hallelujah! I believe The Word of God to be true without error. I believe that God sent His Son, Jesus to die for me and you! One Sunday morning The Holy Spirit drew me to Him and I answered. I have a personal relationship with Christ and believe that is the only true way to spend eternity in Heaven. I know Jesus and He knows me! I know I am still a sinner and I strive to represent Him well, but I am not, nor will I be perfect. I have a passion for His Word and love to teach His Truths with excitement so that others will want to dive in and know Him more!
