My dreams and desires


I love working with children. Missions and children have been major passions of mine for as long as I can remember. Being a mom to hundreds of kids is a dream that is often joked about in my life. But the Lord has really given me a really big heart for children and loving those that have no one to love them. I am really invovled in my church. I help as a TNT Girls leader, teach LIttle Church, and spend some time in the nursery. I think I just love being around kids. That might be a good thing since I am an over grown child myself. I like to eat yummy food, read books, take pictures, build relationships, and joke around with friends. If there is any way not to have to be serious all the time, I find it. There is a philosophy in life I like to follow - "God made me happy, so I am going to live life abundantly." And abundantly, I do! People have often given me many nicknames in life and most have to deal with sunshine or giggles. So, if you ever see a really smiley, giggly girl around then you have probably found me.

The Lord is constantly teaching, stretching, and growing my faith in Him. I do not know where I will end up. It would be wonderful serving the Lord overseas, but if He has me in the states, then I will serve HIm there. I have found that it is not the destination but the journey we are on. Sure, it would be perfect to know where and what I am doing, but it is equally wonderful to trust God. He will reveal each step in life as I need it, when I need it. My responsiblity is to trust HIm -- nothing more, nothing less.

Wisconsin Winter Wonder


My car is buried under snow!!! It is a good thing I no longer own a white car!!

My roomies and I as we un-bury our cars!

SO life in Wisconsin really does have tons of snow! In fact, there was so much snow last Friday (Dec 1) that work (driving school buses) was canceled for me. Which was exciting caz it is snow in Wisconsin! It is always here except for a few months!
