I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The Past: I grew up in a home where love was not the norm. There was abuse and a constant feeling of worthlessness. I was an angry individual, who had deep deep hurts that I would keep bottled up inside. I lost my mom right before I turned 16 to a drug overdose, and have a dad where I don't where he is. I have struggled with addiction to alcohol, and fallen victim to eating disorders. Which let me put in a disclaimer here regarding that...they are stupid and pointless!! After losing my mom I went to live down in Florida where I met some friends who showed me what real love was. This love was unconditional and even though I was so totally messed up they believed in me. It was through them loving on me and praying for me that I encountered Christ. I had friends who said they were Christians in the past, but none like these. There was a genuniness about them. I have gone to Bible College for two years, which for me were foundational in my walk. I had the amazing opportunity to live in Israel for two years and minister in a 24/7 house of prayer called Succat Hallel. (www.jerusalempraise.com). I was a prayer leader and back up singer. I co-lead children's watches and God used me in being key in igniting the youth of the country.The Present: I currently live in West Palm Beach Florida. Its lovely and has been a real blessing. I am involved in Children's Ministry and support my youth group as much as I can. I am not the same person as I was eight years ago. Everyday I make the choice that I am going to live my life in the Joy that the Lord has given me. That I will not harbor any anger or ill feelings. I have chosen to let God heal my hurts in only the way that He can. My heart is to see children and youth raised up in our generation to change and affect the world.The Future: "For I know the Plans I have for you says that Lord." Plans to give you a hope and future; these plans are to prosper you and not to harm you." Jeremiah 29:11 I do however have a vision to have an international network of homes for children and youth who have been victims of abuse, and/or parental loss.Fun Facts: I love to dance. I recently just got into swing and salsa. Music makes me :) All types really. I write, act and sing. I can be a bit a perfectionist. My artisitc ability is that of a 2nd grader. My favorite colour is purple. I grew up in Chicago. I love to work with children so that I will never feel old. :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Well, I would say God and Jesus but I have already met them, or better yet they met me.

Total Abandonment

Total Abandonment.  That is what I have been hearing the Holy Spirit say as of late.  That He is jealous for our affections that cannot be shared with anything or anyone else.  For we are created to b...
