Favorite Quote:  "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa.  (When I am feeling down, quoting this helps me relieve stress.)  Also, "Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." - Mother Theresa.  (When I think about ministering to others, I think of this.)

Favorite Scripture:  "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, 'For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35-39

"The best
part of my job at the Good Shepherd is ..."  Being able to do what God has called me to do and help train and encourage others so they may someday do the same.
