This includes working and getting a degree in Business Management/Accounting as well as my Licensed Practical Nurse training (I work as a private duty nurse). I believe God gave me this passion to let me know what He was asking me to do as the purpose for my living, as well as to keep me going during the testing times in preparation for this ministry.

Life has become an awesome journey. I thank God for the lessons, the things that brought me to my knees during those times of testing; things that forced me to search His heart; things that brought about the insight that there is strength in weakness, God's strength.
