Hello,
I grew up in a relatively small farm town, Richmond, MO. I was home schooled with my other 4 siblings. Our mother was our teacher. I loved it! I sometimes think back and realize how patient my mother was, teaching 5 different grades in the same day! We were blessed and I am so thankful my parents made that decision. I loved growing up in a big family. I graduated the year of 2010. And 10 has been my favorite number ever since! It’s in all of my usernames on social media almost, and my car plates. I started working at a pharmacy in town when I turned 16. One of my best friends dad actually owned it. I loved working with my friend and her parents. They taught me a lot and helped me mature and grow in ways I needed to. I’ve only worked in one place for the last 9 years. My first car was an ’01 Impala, I loved that car. Until I blew the engine from lack of oil. That was a big/painful lesson. I now keep close, close tabs on the oil in my car. I currently own a black Grand Prix ’06. My dream car! I love cats. One of my best friends growing up was my cat, April. She was there for me when I was lonely, sick, and needed a friend. She has since passed away. I now have a cat named Sadie, or psycho Sadie as we often refer to her, shes got quite the attitude for such a small cat! But I love her. I have a strange fetish for wooden pallets. I love to paint them for different holidays and such. We also made a fence last year out of pallets. It actually looks really good too, we were skeptical. Painting really soothes me, it calms me and helps me reflect. Now I am no artist, I just enjoy it a lot. I like working with wood. I always love learning construction. I’m a DIY advocate. I love to sing, but not publicly. Unless in a band with other singers. I also love music such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and Etta James to name a few. But My favorite music that I listen to 95% of the time is Christian music. I really feel the Lord speaks to me through Christian music. I was baptized when I was 6. One evening I was playing in my room, and this overwhelming feeling came over me, I realized I needed to be washed of my sins. I started to cry and felt I needed to talk to my parents. I went into their room and told them what I had felt, that I wanted to be baptized. My parents and I prayed that night and I was baptized the next Sunday. I remember it like it was yesterday. I since have followed the Lord. At times I have fallen astray or tried to push my own will instead of His. I’ve learned His will is ALWAYS Best. At a young age I realized I wanted to be involved in Missions. I wanted to reach nations with God’s love and mercy. And help the lost get found. I am overwhelmed with gratefulness that the Lord is calling me to this journey, and opened the door for me to walk through. Am I scared? Yes! But the Joy of my heart surpasses the fear. I know that what God calls me to, He’ll get me through! With God all things are possible. And my life is in His hands.
