When I was a girl I had a strong passion for music. I loved to play the guitar and piano, and oh boy could I sing! I had written and recorded a few of my own Christian songs on the guitar and I honestly had a BRIGHT future in the worship field. That was all until I met a boy who I chose to allow to take me down the wrong path and away from the faith I was raised in. By the time I graduated high school, I was living a party life with him. Instead of going to college with my friends, we were getting married and I soon became pregnant.

Before I knew it, I was a young, single mom trying to grow up on my own. I was trying to restore my faith in God when I met the man I call my husband today. We have been together for 10 years now, raising my 13 year old together and we have two additional beautiful children. We own and operate a business together, and I homeschool all 3 of our children.

Recently, I was diagnosed with a cavernoma mass on my brain and epilepsy. In many ways my life has been turned upside down and yet, I can see that God has used this major challenge in my life as an opportunity to send me on two missions:

1) To share my story. I know he didn’t bring me to this to go through it silently. He wants me to share my experience to bring hope to others, so here I am!

2) To rediscover the girl I once was. The girl I lost so many years ago. I convinced myself that it was too late, but it has taken almost 20 years, 3 children and a brain tumor for God to call me back to who I once was. We often think we are too jaded to be able to return to our innocent selves, but that is where God’s mercy comes in.

I would love it if you took this journey with me.

"If I told you my story

You would hear Hope that wouldn't let go

And if I told you my story

You would hear Love that never gave up

And if I told you my story

You would hear Life, but it wasn't mine

If I should speak then let it be

Of the grace that is greater than all my sin

Of when justice was served and where mercy wins

Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in

Oh to tell you my story is to tell of Him”
