About Me

I am a child of God. I will never understand or totally comprehend His love for me. I will never be able to fathom the grace and mercy He has extended to me. Lucky for me though...He doesn't ask me to! All He asks is that I accept it and let Him be a part of my life. Right now, my passion is just to live this life that He has given me in a way that would make Him smile. I fall down a lot and make so many mistakes along the way, but He always picks me up and helps me to keep going. I want so much to make a difference for Him.
