I grew up in a Christian home in rural North Alabama. We attended a small country church for my entire childhood. I gave my life to Christ at the age of nine and had a solid Biblical foundation as well as parents who lived out their faith. My faith really grew during college through my involvement in Baptist Campus Ministries. I was a summer missionary the summer after my sophomore year, which is where I met Bobby. We were married a year later and then attended seminary together where I obtained a Master's in Religious Education.

We have five children (two were adopted) and three grandchildren. We have also been foster parents.

I have served at GracePointe for over 11 years now in children's ministry and now preschool ministry. I have served off and on for many years on praise team and really enjoy singing harmony. I enjoy reading, walks in the woods, art/ drawing, watching period dramas with my daughters and playing pickleball.

Proverbs 3: 5-6. It's a good thing this verse has been my foundation, because with all these children and with fostering, I sure have needed to trust in the Lord! He has been faithful to direct our steps and to bless us beyond measure."
