While my roots are in a military upbringing, my heart was forged in New York!  I have lived in NY since the early 90’s, then a young hopeful bride. But life has a way of unfolding in unexpected chapters, and I soon found myself navigating the wreckage of an estranged marriage, facing homelessness as a single mother of four, drowning in emotional turmoil.  But GOD! His grace has met me over and over again in the shadows, proving that prayer truly avails much and that His love always and willingly gives beauty for ashes.  Our family’s challenges became the foundation of my faith and my calling.  I yearned to “go do the work”.  I most recently walked away from a corporate career with a heart desiring to serve, disciple, and harvest health in the lives of others. My journey is my testimony, and I move forward with preparation in the gospel of truth knowing that “she is clothed in strength and dignity and can laugh at the days to come!”  This is my story.
