I want to spread the word of God to others. Period. I feel i was kept alive on the streets to tell my story so that others can see that there is a way out and its by looking up when your feeling down.
Inspirations and Role Models:
Watching my Mom fight cancer 4 times and continue to work and provide for herself was an absolute inspiration of strength and an incredible work ethic. (and a heartache at the same time). Seeing my grandparents celebrate their 50th Anniversary was an inspiration for my marrriage. Seeing my older brother live 8 years as a quadrapalegic as a result of a car accident & still smile and laugh showed me perserverance & watching my father relearn everything he''s known for 72 years inspires me to not give up on anything
Proudest Moment:
Beating the devil and taking my life back from drugs on 12/10/2005, which was no smail undertaking, but God heard my cries for help and carried me because I was much to weak to walk. To this day I have no desire to use only a burning desire to share my story of God, hope, strength to those who are still lost and looking.
Biggest Challenge:
I would say my biggest challenge is taking care of my father who has Alzheimers. I am his caretaker 24/7 with the help of my absolutely phenomenol husband when he''''''''s not working. I''''''''ve been doing this since 12/03 and 3 months ago got out of the house overnight for the first time since I took this on. I promised I would care for my parents and not toss them aside and I will do it to the best of my ability until he''s called to God
