About Me
- About Me: I have been a believer most of my life. I gave my life to Christ when I was nine years old. During my teens I strayed, graduated from college, became a teacher, moved to Europe and God placed a special person in my life. In my classroom, I was in need of another person to assist me in my teaching special ed., so God placed a woman in my midst that was a Precept leader! My first study, although I was not married, was "Marriage Without Regrets"....... Through learning to study God's word, I have developed a hunger to know more and more about Him and to allow it to sink to my heart and change me. The other significant things in my life are: - my marriage to a wonderful man, Chris - becoming a parent - moving to North Dakota - being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 - learning to forgive the unforgivable - working with youth - losing my hair with chemotherapy - learning the meaning of humility
