How long have you been at UPC?
Almost three years now.

Where are you originally from?
I was born in south Alabama and spent most of my childhood in Birmingham; however, since getting married we have lived in several places in and out of the U.S.

What are some of your hobbies and/or interests?
I really like to read and to write, although I don’t get to do as much as I’d wish. I also enjoy cooking and entertaining (I used to think I wanted to be a caterer or event planner, then I became a wife and mother and learned that the two are VERY similar). And of course, traveling is something that I love and wanted to do even as a young girl.

What’s your favorite dessert?
I have such a sweet tooth, so that’s a hard call. I ‘m really fond of key lime pie, but hot out of the oven, homemade cookies are still my weakness.

Favorite TV show?
Our household is big into 24 and Heroes (although we haven’t had either in quite a while); otherwise, I mostly watch the Travel Channel and Food Network.

What are you involved with at UPC?
I sing with the worship team and I’ve helped some with VBS and various youth group projects. I’ve also been in a women’s Bible study for a couple of years and was recently asked to be one of the Sunday morning greeters.

How have you seen God work in your life recently?
The Lord continues to show me how much I have to learn from and about Him. I have been reminded through many circumstances lately of the very obvious but profound truth that life is not about me it is truly all about Him. Strangely, that is humbling but very freeing and renews my desire to know Him more deeply than ever.

How can we be praying for you?
Please pray for the discipline to make that deep relationship a priority amid all the stuff that vies for my time and attention. Also pray that I would truly use my time wisely now, and as I look to the future when my “nest is empty” in another year, that I will see where God wants me to focus my energies.
