Upon graduating from Lincoln Christian College in 2000, I married the big tall youth minister Josh and moved to the suburbs. We’ve spent 20 years at Living Creek serving together hanging out with students and showing them how to have a relationship with God. I am passionate about helping young people learn that God loves them unconditionally and that they can accomplish big things for Him despite their circumstances. I have two awesome sons that I spend most of my free time with as we explore parks, museums, and zoos around Chicagoland and beyond . I also enjoy being outside in nature, drinking a well-crafted latte, watching movies, hearing live music, reading a good fiction novel, decorating my house, taking photos, and traveling (Disney is my favorite!). My favorite verse as a teenager has carried over with me to today: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all of your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5&6 NIV
