Mom to Four
Streit Residence
05.2001 - Current
I feel I would be remiss in not stating that I am a mother of four beautiful children. I have been a mom for 24 years. Being a mother has given me such incredible life experience, such as choosing to lay my life down each day for those in my family that God has richly blessed me with. Being able to be a stay-at-home mom all these years has taught me patience, flexibility, trusting in God through difficult times, and constantly praying and turning our children over to God, who loves them more than I could ever fathom. I have always had such a love for children. I have a heart for people and love to bless and serve, in any way I can. I am often 'putting out fires,' if you will. I hope and pray that my experience, and my walk with God, would help me to be a blessing to the students and staff at Valley Christian.
