    A little about me. I am just an ordinary woman, who did an extraordinary thing. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior in 1986. I am a woman who has had the opportunity to sit back and think of all the times God has blessed me, and sent angels to intercede, guide and protect me. I am a very quiet person and a bit shy and only shared my stories with a few of my closet friends. (But always with my daughter). I had no one else there with me through these trials and dilemmas, (just my daughter and years later my son) which are what I know now as my testimonies, trials and triumphs.

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’
