I grew up with my family in Fresno, CA where I went to Fresno Christian School from K-12th grade (with the exception of public summer school between 8-9th grades). Although people have differing opinions about sending kids to Christian schools, I had a positive experience and am grateful to have been given such a great spiritual foundation early on.
I consider myself blessed beyond words to have met the absolutely wonderful man I would marry (Josh :) when I was 14. We met at a church pool party and became best friends over the next months. We got together when I was 15 and have been happily together ever since!
After high school, Josh and I both moved to Portland, OR to attend Multnomah Bible College. We got married in 2000 at our church in Oregon City, where we also worked with the youth and college age people for six years - we miss them all dearly!! In 2003, we graduated with our Bachelor's degrees in youth ministry, music, and education.
In September of 2005, the Lord led us to Southern CA... And He lent us our first little person on 2/20/06! Little Micah Drew is a such a joy and a blessing, and Josh and I can't wait to introduce him to you!
This year has been full of change for us, but change that brought some stability, too. After more than a year and a half of concerted prayer about where the Lord wants us geographically and ministry-wise, He opened the doors for us to buy a house here in the Hemet area (San Jacinto). We are excited about the new opportunities this will provide.
We are also excited to announce that we invited a new little one into our family this summer - Noah Timothy Bernard was born strong and healthy just one week early .. me going into premature labor at just 23 weeks and being on bedrest for almost 3 months. God has shown us so much love from all our friends and family through it all. Forever thanks to them and to Him.
Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to drop me a message - I'd love to stay in touch!
