The Call
I went down to join church and be baptized at the age of ten after seeing my younger sister and cousin head toward the alter. I officially gave my life to Christ at the age of 16 when the death of a close Christian friend helped me realize I needed God in my life. My commitment was recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life and in a little aqua blue journal which I still own. My life has been profoundly enriched because of this one life-changing decision.
Spiritual Gifts
Administration, Exhortation, Discernment
Favorite Scriptures
My life scripture is 2 Corinthians 2:14 which states, “Now thanks be to God who always causes me to triumph in Christ and maketh manifest the savor of His knowledge by me in every place.” This scripture reminds me of who I am in Christ and what is required of me in whatever circumstance I may find myself. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, God gave me a second life scripture in Romans 8:11. It reads, “The Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. And just as He raised Christ from the dead, He will give life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living within you.”
