I am a data analyst and an administrative assistant by day and a writer, author, and youth leader by night. I love my job, but my real passion is using my spiritual gifts and talents to make some kind of eternal impact in the people around me. I've been writing devotionals for Rest Ministries (www.restministries.org) since 2003 and Comfort Cafe (www.comfortcafe.net) since 2006. My testimony/life story is on several websites, including my own. I have been a youth leader since 2004 and usually write/plan all my own lessons and talks. I love working with teens (I know - amazing) and hope that I have made a difference in their lives. One of my "hobbies" is making "fabricards" - I use fabric, cardstock paper, and "glue paper" to make my own greeting cards. I draw all of my own designs and had "Fabric Cards", my first craft book, published in 2005. I am currently working on my second book. As you can see, I have varied interests and skills, but nothing encourages me more than hearing that my writing, life story, or Biblical lesson has blessed someone else and brought them closer to God!
