I am a born and bred native Texan, living in Lindale most of my life. I was home-schooled and loved being the oldest of 5 children. I was saved very early on and am blessed to have learned to hear the voice of God at an early age. A lot of hard things, like deaths of close family members as a child, were really the cement in my connection with God. I remember talking to him and constantly pouring out my thoughts and concerns.
I have attended CCF since 1995 and began working as church secretary November of 1997. I met my husband, Jonathan, here at CCF as he was my younger brother’s Royal Ranger Commander. We got married at CCF in 1998 and have 3 children: Addie, Emma, and Josh. I am so honored to be a wife and mom and find it to be my most challenging and rewarding job.
