I’m a lot like you. 

 

I have a birthday, a childhood, good memories, regrets, joys, struggles, things I’m good at, and things I’m not that good at, favorite foods, music, TV shows, and books.  I must get some sleep every night, and I have a family, friends, longings, and desires. 

 

We have many things in common, don’t we? 

​

I also believe we were each created with specific talents, abilities, purposes, and reasons. I believe we all go through seasons of struggles physically, mentally, and spiritually.  I believe we all have an art deep within, even if you can’t draw a straight line and the struggles we do have can be seen as part of a beautiful work of art (even when it doesn’t seem possible). 

 

On a more personal note, I live in North Carolina and my husband and I have two young adult kids, and one daughter-in-love.  I work at St. Mark's Community Church in the Spiritual Formation team and the director of an Arts Collective annual event in our community.  I also provide an Art and Soul  workshop a few times a year for creators to have time, space, a devotion, and supplies to co-create with God and others.  People say I’m a good listener, encourager, artistic, have a great laugh, and one who displays joy when dancing.
