Q: Were you praying to God for guidance or did He just kind of show up one day and change your life?
A: I prayed so much when I was pregnant! It was a very scary time of change in my life and focusing on God was one thing that gave me real, lasting peace, especially in the tougher times. When God “speaks” to me, I don’t hear an actual voice, it’s more like a strong message that comes into my mind when I least expect it, and total peace and assurance accompany it. I don’t always like or want to do what God tells me, but there is no doubt in my mind that when I get a message and hear from Him, it’s the right thing.
Q: How does your current church community feel about your past?
A: No one embraced me and took me in like my church family! They’ve been unbelievable, I can hardly describe it. Everyone has a past or is dealing with sin, or else why would we all need Christ? No one realizes that like someone who is truly walking with God and actively seeking a relationship with Him and His Son. If we aren’t all born with a sinful nature and things that we will each personally struggle with, then Jesus Christ died on the cross in vain. We are all empty, broken, searching, and fighting through life aimlessly from one thing to the other without Jesus.
Q: What do you think God wants for you? What did He have planned for you?
A: God wants me to have the best life possible while I’m here on earth, and no one knows more about me and exactly what I need than my Creator. I can only see in hindsight what was best for me, and I can say with every ounce of my being that God’s way for me has been infinitely more fulfilling and happier than anything I could have ever planned! God’s plan for me was to be Dave’s wife, the mother of Isabella and JP, and to have this colorful past that I can use to minister to and care for others who are broken and lost that God sees fit to put in my life.
