About Me
- About Me: In order to describe who I am, I need to describe to Whom I belong---Jesus Christ. He is what makes me who I am and all that I can be! He is my Creator and the compass that directs my life. I am a mother, a daughter, an aunt and a friend. I am a big fan of animals, jazzercise, kickboxing, running, cross-country skiing, ice-skating, reading, writing, sharing the Word of God, prayer, praise and worship and quiet time with my KING. Life is awesome with God at the helm!!!
