Although I had committed my life to Jesus, I didn’t always live like it. I struggled how to balance my family, faith and friends. I would liken my walk with Jesus in my adolescence and adulthood to that of a pendulum, there were times when I was close and then moved away. This happened a number of times during my University and Young Adult years. I feel very grateful that God has continuously reminded me of His presence in my life. In fact I feel as though often I’ve been the one pursued. During my times of distance from Him something would happen that would remind me of my need for Him and of His unending love and forgiveness.

Over the past ten years I’ve been overwhelmed by God’s goodness. I met and married an incredible man, inherited a wonderful step daughter and went on to have two more children. Being a mom has been one of the most incredible reminders of God’s greatness and love. I am forever in awe of my children’s childlike faith and their unending love for Jesus.  Their gentle, innocent prayers, their daily songs to Jesus and their questions continue to inspire me in my own walk with Him.  Motherhood has reminded me of our Father’s love for us... His children. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross has become so much more meaningful to me, our Father’s sacrifice on our behalf is hard to imagine. Being loved like that is truly the most incredible gift.

My prayer is that I continue to walk out my life in service to Him, inspiring others to love Jesus and serve His children.

KGF felt like home the moment we walked in. The community here is so special.  I feel privileged to serve in a church that was so instrumental in my walk with Jesus. I am so appreciative to the members of this church who have dedicated themselves to building a church with a foundation of Love, Grace and Forgiveness.

Lately, the song in my heart has been “Great is thy Faithfulness.... All I have needed thy hand has provided. Great is thy Faithfulness Lord unto me!”  I am so thankful for the incredible love and forgiveness of Jesus.
