Bio:
God had always been tugging on my heart as a child and into my teenage years. I was just too afraid to give myself fully to him. God won this tug of war my sophomore year of college in 1987 through a very dear person placed next to me in the dorm. Life literally changed overnight. The Bible became alive with words leaping off the pages. I developed a love for truth, the kind of truth that sets people free. I wanted to change the world. Within eight months of salvation, God clearly whisked me away to a Bible School in Dallas, TX. I poured every ounce of my strength and effort into knowing God and His voice so that true ministry could happen through me. However, those two years ended in complete disillusionment and confusion. I clearly understood that I cannot self generate the life and ministry of God himself. My dreams and visions for ministry seemed to have crumbled into dust, leaving me to figure out what to do with the rest of my life.
Ten years past; I was happily married and surprisingly secure in my relationship with Christ. Yet my heart quietly grieved the loss of my dreams. In 2000, I went of my first of seven short-term missions trips to Romania. It was on that trip that I heard a Grace Ministries “Grace Life Conference” presented in the Romanian Church. I can only explain the magnitude of what happened within me to being like that of an earthquake. Something shifted. God began opening my eyes to His purposes in my life. I began to understand brokenness—that I must be stripped before I can be clothed with Christ. Up to that point, I understood the first part of Galatians 2:20--“I am crucified with Christ and I no longer live.” It was then that God began making the rest of the verse a reality: “Nevertheless, I live, yet not I but Christ lives within me.”
Over the last four years, God has taken me on a path towards full-time ministry. This path included more brokenness, but also significant restoration. I attended the GMI Advanced Training Internship in January 2004 and transitioned to full-time staff later that year.
