What's My Story
As a small child, I had a great fear and anxiety about dying. During a church service, I came to learn how I could have a real relationship with God and actually know Him in a personal way. This gave me an overwhelming sense of peace, comfort and assurance of where I would spend eternity. All fears of death disappeared because God took that fear out of my heart.

God has grown me over the years since I began a relationship with Him. Through all the circumstances in my family and my life, God has always been faithful to me.
My daughter got married and she and my son-in-law started their family. This would be my first grandchild. After several tests and sonograms, the OB-GYN doctor told my daughter that my first grandbaby would have several possible abnormalities: cleft palate, Down-syndrome, kidneys that barely functioned. I knew that God had knit this baby in my daughter’s womb and that the baby would be perfect in God’s sight. I took great peace and much comfort in knowing this and our family had total reliance on God and His will for the life of this baby. After many sonograms and appointments, even up until two weeks before the baby was born, the doctors gave us little hope of the baby being normal. I cannot say that I did not have anxiety because I did. However, I had a peace beyond any understanding, and a total reliance on God. I knew that God was in control and sovereign.
The baby boy was born on July 22, 1999 and he was in perfect health with no abnormalities at all! His name is Isaac – which means “laughter!” This little boy is now 9 years old and on Easter Sunday he prayed to receive Christ in his heart. God is good!
If I were to die right now, I know for sure that I would be with God in heaven and that I would have eternal life.
