About Me

I am at a peaceful place in my life where I feel very secure with myself. The greatest thing that has ever happened to me is finding God again after years of knowing He exists but never really fully acknowledging His love.
I am now resting in Him and everything else is falling into place. I have a family who has raised me well and given me everything I need and much more.
I am blessed to have met a man who is an everyday reminder of God's love for me. I have always wanted a man who is deeply in love with Jesus and I am in awe that God filled the desires of my heart.
Robert has inspired to be the best person I can be. I am truly honored and privileged to be called his WIFE and BEST FRIEND.
I have an amazing group of friends who have stood by me no matter what. They encourage me to become the woman that I can be. They are there in times of celebration and when my heart is wounded. I am fiercely loyal to them and will do anything for them. They are like family to me and Rob. I will cherish my spiritual family for the rest of my life.
Life is so good! I am excited see how it unfolds tomorrow! Jesus... bring it on! I am ready!

I'd like to meet:
