I grew up in Southern CA in a Christian home. We went to church nearly every Sunday. However, while I always believed in God, I had never followed Him. Instead, I followed the ways of the world because it told me that my sins were OK, and were even celebrated. It wasn't until I signed up for a Bible-based, weight loss program in my 20's, that I repented and was born again. I became truly heartbroken over my sins.

Shortly after that, I met and married my husband. His job took us to Pennsylvania where we lived for 13 years. I enjoyed the changing of the seasons there and being a stay-at-home mom to our four children. In 2015 our family moved to San Jose. A neighbor invited me to COV, and I have been here ever since. In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with family and friends, reading and crafting.
