What Can I Say About Myself?

For those of you that don’t know me, I am originally a Louisiana girl (from Denham Springs). I grew up there going to youth rallies, church camp (CYE), lock-ins, etc. I have always been really involved with my church family. I left Louisiana just long enough (or so I thought) to attend college at Harding University. I did not know what I wanted for a future career, but I knew one thing, in our family...college was no option, it was a must. So off to Harding I went. I started out as a psychology major because I wanted to go into Christian counseling. Well... Freud (however you spell his name) and whoever else sounded pretty crazy to me so I thought it was necessary to move on. I would have loved to go into youth ministry or something, but in this day and age being a female and attending the churches I do...there are not very many jobs like that. I went through another major or so and then ended up in Chemistry. I developed a love for the biological sciences (yes, I know, Chemistry isn’t one of them!). So I became a premed student and started applying to med school. Like many applicants, I did not get in on the first try. So, I moved to Paragould, AR and decided to teach science for a year at a small private Christian school (of which I love dearly!). During this year, the Lord worked on me and I decided that med school wasn’t for me after all. I continued teaching and became a certified teacher while I waited for God to show me where He needed me! Now, I am happy to say, that after 4 years, He has shown me a little bit of direction...a job in the ministry...working as the ministry coordinator for the Missionaries for America Program (MAP).

Sometimes it takes a while for us to see God’s special plan for us. Keep on praying, searching, and working and God will show you the way! I can see many things in my life that worked together to prepare me for what I am now doing. You will be able to say the same too.

What can I say about myself........Most importantly I love God, and I am working on loving Him more and more everyday! Do I struggle, you better believe it!! Just remember, it is all about the journey!!! When you fall down, get back up! (Don't let Satan win.) I heard a wise person say, "If you never run into Satan then you must be going the same direction as him." How true is that!!!!! I hope that we can encourage each other, so please write me!!!!!
