Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
Being a Christian is maybe not so cool by the world's standards, but Christ is the one person that I live to praise everyday! He has so graciously saved me, and just the very fact that I know that I am going to see my Savior face to face one day is awesome to me! He loves me enough to give me a son, and He loves me enough to save me from a future of fire and condemnation. Why in the world shouldn't I love Him enough to share his love with others through my actions and the expressions on my face?

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
Without a doubt....Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you, saith the Lord. Plans to give you a hope and a future. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Good grief! What an awesome God to love me that much!!!!

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
Since Christ is the center of my life, then He should also be the center of a relationship. I can't even begin to imagine what He can do with a pure loving relationship!!! I'm so excited to find out!

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I grew up right here in Dothan, AL. I went to college in Cleveland, TN. for a year, and then I moved back home and finished school right here in Dothan. I traveled all over the Southeast watching my sister play softball when I was growing up. I wish I was more of a world traveler, but maybe I will be someday. My most favorite place to visit is Callaway Gardens at Christmas time! It's beautiful! I love Christmas, so it is like being in a dream when I am there.

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
My favorite activities at church are being with the youth group. They are precious! I also enjoy singing in the choir even though I can't really sing good. Outside of church, I love sports and traveling and camping. I also love to swim and workout. Since my son was born, I took up interst in scrapbooking, and I love it too.

What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
I get up early and have my time with the Lord before Banks wakes up. I then get ready for my day and go to work after I drop Banks off at school. After work, I go to the gym and then pick up Banks from school. We generally come home, cook supper, get baths, and then go to bed. The weekends, I don't really get in a hurry about anything, because that is my time off.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
My most important personal goal is to get married and have more children. That sounds lame,but seriously the only thing I ask for in life is to love someone and to be loved by someone. My spiritual goals are endless. I am now trying to read the Bible in its enitirety. I would also love to know more about the Hebrew culture and language and how it relates to the Bible. I love to learn, so anything to help me know the origin of certain things in the Bible is great!
