…a 30-something woman who is a follower of God, wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I accepted Jesus as my Savior at the tender age of 6. I was led to the Lord by my first grade teacher, Mrs. Stone on the playground during recess. I was baptized shortly there after. I attended a Christian school for 12 years. I met my husband while I was in high school and working at Publix. We have been together for almost 18 years ~ dated for 4 1/2 and married for 14 1/2. My husband was called to be a pastor at our church during our 5th year of marriage. We’ve dealt with the death of a parent. After 3 1/2 years of infertility, we finally became the proud parents of our beautiful daughter. I have dealt with anxiety and depression. I have been at stay-at-home mom. I have worked in full time ministry ~ twice. I have worked as a teacher several different times. I have had best friends who have moved away and friends who have been forced away by circumstance. I work at a great job with wonderful people. I have a beautiful family. We still have family dinners (with my brother and his family and parents and grandparents) twice a month. I’ve lived in the same area for my whole life. I’ve only been out of the state of Florida twice. I’ve never flown on an airplane. I’ve never seen snow. Through all the good and the bad this is what I have and am learning… God is faithful.

The verse that kept us at peace through our infertility is the same that keeps me focused.

Psalm 37:4
“Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

When God is what I delight in, His desires will be my desires.

This is what I would say to you…

Psalm 34:8
“Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.”

Now it’s your turn. Who are you?
