I work with children a lot however I am comfortable with all ages.

People need to be fed and cared for; so many are lost and need to know that they are loved and not alone. Fund-raising, food drives and clothing donations and deliveries are something most people can give to and should be a regular part of community service.

[E]xperience

I’ve always had a prayer life and belief In Jesus and heaven despite growing up in a household where we didn’t regularly attend church or discuss/study the Bible. I followed a very secular pattern of life while maintaining prayer personally. After different heartaches and disappointments in life lead me to poor choices, bad health and zero stability, I felt led back to the Lord where I dedicated myself through baptism to Jesus and allowed Him to work out in me his will; which is what He is continually doing within me everyday.

Salty church: 2017-present

Being welcomed into an accepting church environment.

Making friends that are believers that have supported and encouraged me.

Being blessed with two wonderful boys.

Growing up in a single mother/divorcee Home.

Life choices that are a product of a non Christian upbringing such as seeking attention from wrong people, substance/alcohol abuse and disconnecting from others and responsibilities.

Experiencing physical/emotional abuse.
