"King's daughters are amoung your noble ladies;
Listen, O Daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him."
Psalms 45:9a, 10a, 11

I am a lady in waiting! I come from a lovely Bible believing family of four girls and parents who both love the Lord.  When I was a young child, I realized that I was a sinner and in need of a Saviour.  After one particular time of disobeying my parents, my father explained to me that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment of my sin.  John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."  I knew that I would perish forever in Hell if I did not accept Him as my Lord.  "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).   I prayed that night with my father and asked the Lord to save me from my sins. I am thankful that the Lord rescued me from the punishment of my sins. I pray that you also know the Lord as your Saviour from sin, and that you are confident that you have a home in heaven.

I lived a "normal" life--living in my home town, doing school, and going to my home church--till I was 11. At that time we were asked to be short-term missionaries to Carriacou, Grenada. That is a little island that you cannot see on the map!!! It is in the southern Caribbean islands. My grandfather started a radio station there and they needed short-term help for 8 months, while a missionary family went on furlough. When I was 15, we returned there as full-time missionaries. We were there for one term, almost 3 years, and came back home so I could march with my homeschool graduating class from my home church. Our intent was to return to the field, but the Lord closed the doors for that, due to health problems.

That leads me to the past 6 years home from the mission field. I traveled with my family to all our furlough meetings for a year and then settled down here to try to find a job so I could start college. I worked the summer of 2005 and started my first semester at BJU that fall. My first month in school went well. 

On October 3, 2005, I was involved in a car accident that literally changed my life. It was only because of the Lord's mercy that I was able to finish all my classes that semester. I learned a lot about how the Lord can use my weakness and turn it into His strength. 2 Corinthians 12:9 was very special to me at the time. It says, "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast about my weakness, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me." He was and is my ONLY strength. How lovingly He carried me all through the rest of that semester.  I was unable to finish my college degree due to the injuries from my car accident.

Presently, I work part-time for a small company called "Bows for Best Friends."  We make the cutiest hair bows for little girls!  I make a lot of our hair bow lines, and I am also the Personal Assistant to the President and Manager.  The thing I enjoy about this job is that I can do it all from my home, or my boss's home. I do not have to go "out" into the work place. 

I also work another part-time job as a nanny for two children, a four year old girl and one year old boy. They are such a joy to care for and play with!
