In the last year God has turned my world upside down – bankruptcy, new job, failed marriage, and by the grace of God and through it all, I received a new heart, renewed passion & a clean start. 

I grew up in a Christian home with two amazing and Godly parents. I just moved far away from God for a little while and lost sight of what was important in life. A life filled with sin and disobedience brought me to a place where all I had left was God. I was unhappy in my marriage, disappointed in myself and empty. I cried out to God to change me. I no longer wanted to be in charge. I needed a new start. I wanted to be obedient to God. So, here I am.

I’m a 27 year old event planner living in Birmingham, AL with three destructive dogs – Milo, Oscar and Shep. My parents, Roland and Debbie, are in the process of moving from Atlanta to Huntsville, that is if their house ever sells. My parents have been lifesavers and have turned out to be 2 of the coolest people I know and my best friends.  I am so glad God chose them to be my mom and dad.  I have an older sister, Lindsay and a younger brother, Ross, leaving me smack dab in the middle. We all used to fight like normal siblings do, but have actually become great friends over the years.  My aunt, Tonya, is only 10 years older than me so she is essentially like a sister (but more like a best friend), but she and her husband, Lamar, have 2 boys that I just adore and can’t get enough of. Nathan is 6 and Jacob is 2 and they are so incredibly precious I wish I could carry them around in my pocket. I spend a great deal of time with them and I believe life couldn’t get any nuttier than dinner time with Nathan & Jacob.  They are both so silly and stole my heart at first glance.  My family is a HUGE part of my life.

I like to talk a lot and can be loud at times. I love to laugh so hard my face hurts. I believe God created nothing funnier than boogers, farts and poop. I am extremely inquisitive and know a little about a lot. I love to read and enjoy girly movies. I hate exercise and only run if something is chasing after me or if there is chocolate cake involved. I’ve never met a dessert that I didn’t like and I absolutely cannot stomach bananas, apples and olives (I’m learning to eat apples and bananas, this does not mean that I enjoy them though). I am deathly afraid of spiders but am fascinated with them all at the same time.  My all time favorite color is pink. If I could wear pink head to toe every single day of my life I totally would. I have a soft spot for old people, little kids and small furry animals. I love the South and am proud to say I am from the South. I love fall weather and SEC football. I love to sing and dance even if those around me think that I do neither very well. I get a big kick out of life and laugh at myself on a regular basis. 
I love God more than anything else and know without a doubt that He will never forsake me.  I am leaning on Him to provide for my every need and believe He has so much to teach me.  I have a deep desire to learn more about Him by completely immersing myself in the Word.  I long to be obedient to what God wants for my life, to be real and live out what I was created to do.  I want to change the world and believe that God has extraordinary plans to use me.
