I was living with my grandparents while attending a community college. Drawn Closer to GodĪnyways, I have always believed in God, but not until something happened that brought me closer to Him. He climbed a mountain with us in the Adirondacks during COVID to ordain us! It was beautiful. He is the one that ordained my husband and me. My youth pastor at that time was amazing. VBS is where I was saved when I was seven years old.Īs I didn’t fully understand what I was doing then, I asked Jesus into my heart again when I was 15. She even brought me to Vacation Bible School (VBS) every summer. We also did little Bible studies every day. My grandma, who I called “Mama,” taught me to pray before every meal. She imprinted on me as a mother more than my own mother did (Now as I am 28, my mom feels bad she wasn’t there for me more when I was younger). She raised me when I was little while my parents worked. So, I was a confused Christian kid for a while until my grandma took over. My mom told us what was right and wrong, but then sometimes did what she told us was wrong.

I was a shy kid and struggled with mental breakdowns. My mother took my two sisters and me to church every Sunday, however, my dad never went with us. It was a tough decision, but the best decision I have ever made.

After having my daughter this past February, I became a stay-at-home mom and left my career. I worked hard there for eight years and found my way into the patent and trademark department. So, I went on to work as a nanny until I got a job at the company my mom worked at that developed medical devices for heart surgery. I tried college but never made it through the first semester due to a loss in my life. Recently, I found the Christian Leaders Institute with Bible knowledge classes online (Learn more about Bible knowledge classes online, Click He re). I am 28 years old and live in Naples, NY with my amazing husband Chad and our beautiful 7-month-old daughter, Briar.
