If you asked me 10 years ago if I would be working at a church with children I would have said no. But here I am and I love it. I absolutely adore kids and know that they have these amazing futures ahead of them. The compassion, bravery and ingenuity they have astounds me each and every day. Each kiddo has such a spark about them that makes me smile. My job is to help direct them on a path that follows God, but I truly believe parents are their most valuable teachers and we are only here to support their efforts.
I have a business degree from Seattle Pacific University and a Masters in Teaching from City U.
My three boys are my loves and help teach me patience and many more things I did not even know I needed to learn.
One of my favorite quotes is “I love these little people (children); and it is not a slight thing when they who are so fresh from God love us.” Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop. For me this bring is down to the point that kids are much better at showing love and compassion and they follow Jesus so simply and don’t get caught up in the guck and it is amazing they love us back.
What I am reading at the moment? Beyond Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
- Raising a Modern-Day Joseph by Larry Fowler
- Raising Kids for True Greatness: Redefine Success for You and Your Child
- My Bible
I love books and love watching kids bring books alive, when they dive into a book and are right in there with all the characters taking their place in the pages. But most of all I love when my kiddos grab their Bibles and sit down read and ask questions.
