Best thing someone said to you: After my son was born, he was in the ICU for a week, and that was probably the hardest week of my life. It was tiring, stressful, and emotionally draining. I will never forget my husband looking at me one evening during that week and telling me how much he loved me and that I was glowing like a new mom. Also, the first time my son said, "Momma". That is an amazing feeling to hear those words.

Life motto: "God will not give me anything I can't handle."

My Hero: My parents and my husband

One of my Greatest Experiences with God: During worship at a ladies conference, I had a vision of Jesus wrapping his arms around me, hugging me, and saying to me, "Welcome Back". During that worship service, I let God take control. I had been holding on to things from my past that had gotten between me and Christ. I felt a freedom, and an amazing peace that has changed my life completely.
