Summary

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before." (Phil 3:13)

I am a passionate but faulted individual whose focus is forward. God has made an immense difference in my life and I want to share that in every aspect of my life. My goal is to share the gift Christ has given me, and show people the unrelenting love of God, allowing Him to be a lighthouse to the struggling ships around me. We all have a testimony, but my focus is forward. Because of what God has done for me, I have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those around us NOW!!
