When I sit back and consider the significant events in my past, the important aspects of my current life, and my future goals and ambitions, I cannot help but think about God's people and how my testimony, my story, my trials and tribulations may help someone else. As a child, pre-teen, teen and young lady growing into my adult age, life has had its many ups and down, but God has always been there covering me through it all. I was born in Ozark, Alabama. I didn't stay in Ozark for long, living in a military home we moved around a little bit. I graduated from Junction City High School in 1997 and then from Topeka Technical College in 1999 with honors. Prior to graduating college, God blessed me with my first child, Tijah. Due to my exemplary grades and attendance, I was able to take the time off that I needed to deliver and care for my child, prior to returning to school. Talking about God's favor, all I could say was thank you Lord. I attended and worked at Kansas State University for the next four years. I met my wonderful husband in 2000 and we married in 2004 and headed to Alaska. We now reside in South Carolina, where we plan to be for a long time. I pray that while you read you will not look at me, but look at the growth, the testimonies, the change, the spirit that dwells in me. By making myself transparent, I pray that a life may be changed through Christ. I pray that the words will be able to impact your life as well as those around you.
