I never imagined that God would call me -- ME!!! -- to be a speaker, but I am compelled because "He heard my cry; He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, making my footsteps firm, and He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God." (Psalm 40:1-3) But verse 3 doesn't end there. It says, "Many shall see and fear and trust in Him!"

My mission, based on Colossians 1:28, is to develop women, to take them from spiritual immaturity to spiritual maturity; from faithlessness to fruitfulness. My joy is seeing those I lead through God's Word blossom into the women God wants them to become.
