There is a question each week that comes up in our ladies group when we do the Icebreaker. What do you want to be remembered by when you are gone? My answer – I want to make a difference.
I have a heart for hurting women. I experienced an abortion at age 25, after leading a life filled with drugs, alcohol and promiscuity.
At age 40, I re-connected with Jesus and gave my life to him, but I was still filled with the lies of my past.
In 2002, I allowed Jesus to heal my heart and my hurts and I realized in my soul that I was truly forgiven and set free.
I started journalizing my story and that became my first book, Chili and Chocolate Cake … My Recipe For Staying Anchored in the Storms of Life.
God continued to give me Life Lessons and I continued to write them and they have worked their way into several other books.
I am a pastor at The Tree of Life Church in Naples, Florida. I love my job! Everyday is Sunday in my world! I have the opportunity to lead two small groups, helping others learn how to connect with each other and connect with Jesus! I do counseling, promotional work, some desktop publishing and anything else that comes my way!
I love to share my story with women’s groups or teens, helping them see that the decisions they make today will affect their tomorrow … but that hope and healing is always available, regardless of past mistakes.
