My sister and I learned as kids that sometimes you have to laugh or you might just go crazy. We enjoy cracking each other up with old stories, crazy stuff that happens when we least expect it, and every day situations that might make other people swear. So I’m just trying to open that up to the rest of the world and see if any one’s interested.
I am a minister. I grew up in church, the daughter of a minister. Christ Church Nashville, a non-denominational church, employees me as their Community Groups Minister. I would be a minister whether I did this as a full time job or not. I can’t help it. I am compelled to help others and see them become all the God has for them to be. I especially enjoy the opportunity to teach and facilitate classes and small groups.
I am an aunt to the most precious little girl named Alexis Grace Leonard – a gift from my sister especially for me. Okay, maybe not especially for me, but this is my blog and I’ll write things how I see them… I spend most of my vacation time these days going to South Carolina to see her. I’m also the oldest of three kids. I’m one of 26 grandchildren on my dad’s side and 12 on my mom’s side. Even though we have a large family, we’ve always lived away from most of them.
My friends have become my family here. They are God’s precious gift to me. I could never say enough good about them. We love and support each other, we fight and make up, we have fun together, and we serve God together.
I love to read and write and have recently accepted a part-time position as a Contributing Editor for DemmeHouse Publisher. They have published my work and now I get to work for them. It’s an adventure I’m looking forward to. I also enjoy public speaking/teaching, singing, and learning. I am constantly gathing information.
Except for the first couple hours of the morning, I really dislike slow. It makes me happy when things are moving along at a good rate of speed. I want to get where I’m going and do what is planned when I get there. Let’s GO!
