Family: Paul – husband; Jenna 11, Cassie 10, Ally 5

Influences: My Mother and Father taught me about the Lord, my Young Life Leader Heidi taught me grace and redemption and I learn everyday from those around me

Epic Moments: When I was elected Stu-co President, I was like “What? I don’t know what I’m doing!” That pretty much sums up every experience I find myself in, where God teaches me how to step out of what I think I can do…and He shows me what He can do – over and over and over again!

Spare Time: I love playing with my kids, watching movies with my husband, walking, talking with friends and Jazzercise…yes…Jazzercise – I love to dance!

Books: Wuthering Heights, Redeeming Love, John Grisham Novels, Forgotten God by Francis Chan is what I’m reading right now.

Music: Dance music, U2, Prince, 80’s hair bands, anything on Air-One…really anything but country – seriously, no country at all!

Movies: Gone with the Wind, When Harry met Sally, Raising Arizona, Cheesy 80’s Movies (what can I say – I’m an 80’s girl)!

Food: Mexican or Chinese – there is a Mexican/Chinese buffet at 96th and Antioch – brilliant!

At Starbucks, I order a:  Vivianno  smoothie – I don’t do coffee

Biggest Frustration: Negativity or pessimistic attitudes

Motivation: See a need…meet a need – The Lord relentlessly pursues us – We should relentlessly pursue life!

Personal Motto: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!

Your role at Covenant Chapel (in your own words): Interim co-director with the amazing Judy Morefield. Together we manage the beautiful team of servants that love on the little children that Jesus brings through our doors.
