A little bit about me…

I am blessed beyond measure.

I am dearly loved by my creator, and that truth is made clearer to me every day.
The crazy thing is that truth isn't learned by a life free of pain and suffering.  Actually, the one thing that has taught me that more than any other thing in my life is trial. 

I am blessed with a great family.
I am blessed with some genuine friends who encourage me and love me enough to be honest with me.
I am blessed with a loving church family who has shown me what it really means to be the body of Christ.
I am blessed with an awesome job as a pediatric nurse with some of the cutest kids I know (well…except for my 2 nieces and my nephew of course!) and a wonderful staff of doctors, nurses, and front office ladies that make it so easy for me to enjoy my job. 

and I am also blessed with several defining moments over the course of my life where God chose to take my circumstances and use them to build faith and character in me and draw me into a deeper relationship with Him. And the most recent defining "moment" where God allowed me to come face to face with a few major issues in my life so he could bring necessary healing and growth. 

I love the love of the Lord AND the journey that brings us to a place of surrender!
