About Me
"About Me" is a misnomer. It's
not about me. It is about God and God's work through me to lead and inspire others because it is God who has
blessed me.
"If anyone is
in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Favorite Scripture
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.” -- Philippians 4:6-7 (The Living Bible)
