Updated February 26 Hometown: Texas Birthday: March 15th Something that you may not know about me: I like rock music a lot Favorite color: Blue Favorite Bible verse: I have a couple actually but here is one of them: Isaiah 40:29; The lord gives strength to the weary and to those who lack might he increases power. How long have you been a Christian? I got saved when I was 6 but I rededicated my life to the lord on January 12th 2002. Pets: 1 cat (Miss Beagley), 2 birds (sky and tweety) What do you want to be when
you "grow up"? anything in the ministry, something a lot like what I’m
doing now for sure. But we’ll see what God has for me. I also think that I
would really like to be a psychiatrist. Favorite drink: Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper from
sonicÒ My hobbies are: Well writing is obviously one of them.
I love to go camping, hang out with my friends, and make beaded jewelry every
once and a while. Favorite movie: “holes” and “Extreme Days” My proudest moment: My proudest moment? Well… Probably
when I jumped in a river on January 1st 2001 when it was 32
degrees outside and I got my picture put in a small town newspaper. My best memory: I can’t think of one. Most embarrassing moment: I was sitting in the Victory Camp cafeteria with many chatty people around all eating pizza: when all of a sudden my friend Brandon playfully hit me on the head with a plate as he passes behind me. Kerry, who was visiting with a girl sitting across from me saw what happened and was shocked. “He just hit you on the head with a plate! I can’t believe he just hit you with a plate! You want me to go beat him up?” Kerry exclaimed. “Sure” is what I said because I didn’t believe he would do it. Little did I know… Kerry walks over to Brandon, grabs a plate out of the dish room and starts repeatedly hitting Brandon on the head with it! I was laughing so hard that I started to cry, when Kerry came back to the table and noticed me, only to make an even bigger deal out it, “She’s turning red! Oh no, now she’s crying!” A little more about me! My Testimony (and a little about my life): Well, as I said earlier I got saved when I was 6. It wasn't some kind of exciting story but it was a life changing day; wouldn't you agree? It was on a Sunday and during church we sang a hymn called "I'll fly away" the words really got to me. They were about flying home to Jesus when this life on earth has ended. And I was really thinking about it all day. So I went to my dad and asked him about it and he told me the salvation story, asked me some questions and we prayed and I asked Jesus to live in my life. A few months went by and I got baptized. That's when God started teaching me more and more every day! But I started to fade away. As most little kids I was a big brat. By this time I was 8 and I wasn't very faithful to the Lord. Of course, what was I to know? I was only 8 right??? No, I had a conscience, and I knew right from wrong. From the time I was 8 until I was about 10 or 11 you couldn't tell I was a Christian until I was in the church building. I wasn't living like God would want me to. When I was 11 I went through that rebellious stage that most kids go through (most of you know what I mean). I felt like my parents didn't understand me, I felt like they didn't love me.. etc. I was constantly getting in trouble, and being grounded. I was the best student in my AWANA "graduating" class. I would learn 14 sections a week which is about 16 verses. But I really wasn't getting a whole lot out of them. In the Summer of 2000 I went to a summer camp called "AWANA scholarship camp" At camp I was totally changed. I had never been to a summer camp before and man, was this an experience! That week we talked about the armor of God, and it just went right along with what I had been going through lately. It was just so weird! That week I made an awesome friend, and you know how we became friends??? Through a simple 5 minute prayer... isn't it awesome how God works?? That summer I was totally different! But you know, that "spiritual high" didn't last very long. I was back to being a normal pre-teen again. I went through hormonal changes and stuff that everyone goes through at that age. But I wasn't as bad as I was the year before (fortunate for my parents). I fell away again, doing things I never thought I would do, saying things that now I am ashamed of. But the Lord is awesome and was waiting to forgive me because he knew I would come back around. In January 2002 I recommitted my life to the Lord after
realizing some things that needed to change. Since then, I’ve fully dedicated
my life to the Lord and things have been awesome in that area of my life. I
have an awesome ministry that God is working in everyday, and God has just
been blessing my life abundantly!
