I finally wrote up my testimony and have put it under the tab “My Story.”  God is amazing and all stories, mine included, however uneventful, is a testament to that.  I pray God moves in your life through it and others.  Please contact me if you would like to talk about it at all

I was searching through the archives on my computer and found this poem, which surprised me because I NEVER write poems.  I’m not sure when exactly I wrote it but my guess is somewhere in the spring or summer of 2008.  While reading over it I smiled because of it’s truth.  I hope it speaks to you as well!

Leave it behind

It’s all in the past

Things change

People change

Life goes on

Nothings the same

Nothing ever will be

Mistakes were made

Lessons learned

Life goes on

Look back over your shoulder

But don’t regret a thing

It made you who you are

Relax, be still, and know

Life goes on

My friend Sky and I have had it on our hearts to start a new children’s ministry at Community Bible Church here in Winona.  So we did it!  The only kids to show up to our first event in October were Sky’s sisters but we were sure to publicize this one more, and we got 10 kids (all under the age of 7 and mostly boys)!  It was a lot of work but so much fun!  Here are a few cute pictures from the night
