So here is where I’m supposed to tell you a little about me… I’m a Kansas-girl born and raised who found herself transplanted to Buffalo, NY after a 4-year college adventure in the cornfields of NE. I am a Director of Christian Education (DCE) serving at First Trinity in Tonawanda, NY. As the Director of High School and Young Adult Ministries, I am blessed to be able to focus on ministry to, with, and through young people at First Trinity and in our community. I absolutely LOVE my job and the people I get to work with each day!
Outside of work, I enjoy running, writing, composing music, singing, cooking, baking, blogging, reading, hanging out with friends, and making trips to see my family back in KS.
Amidst all the challenges life may bring, I am so unbelievably blessed and that’s what this blog is about… the many joys and blessings in my work, in my family, in my life. God has given me so much and even when the rough times come, He never ceases to amaze me with His ability to bring beauty from the ashes, blessing from confusing or hurtful situations, and joy from pain.
I invite you to take this journey with me as I seek to focus on the blessings in my life and to live in the joy of Christ.
I met you (again) last night at the Philippians Bible Study with my sister, Kathy Gibson. I mentioned to her that she could tell you that I thought you did a great job and that I passed on the YouTube video to my Pastor, Pastor Sorenson, at my church, Grace Lutheran, in Niagara Falls and that he liked it – but I thought I’d do it myself after checking out your blog. You did/do a fantastic, and thorough, job on it – just as you did with Bible Study last night. It seems you are fully enjoying your time here, and getting the full flavor of the area. And, maybe more importantly, giving First Trinity your very best!! I think MANY people are VERY thankful you survived the car wreck! You’ve done some things I haven’t – and I’ve lived here my entire life! Thanks for last night – and your entertaining, and spiritually full, blog.
Hope u doing well and good by God’s grace. No wonder God’s grace is what takes us through…:).Read ur recent post on 5 min friday…and loved these lines..
