Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
My faith is extremely important to me. It and God have gotten me through some tough times... and have provided me some great mountain highs, and is a constant comfort and reassurance to me. Knowing God has my back (front, sides, top, and bottom) makes me a lot more confident to go out and meet life's challenges head on.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say in confidence, The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. ” Hebrews 13:5,6 “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” Hebrews 11:1 “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still” Exodus 14:14 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1 “I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” John 17:33 I could go on and on....

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
I firmly believe that it is important to be an equal partnership in a marriage or long term relationship and I believe the only way to do that is to follow God's word and you need to be a believer to truly committed to that concept. I love my God and my Church and am looking for someone who will join me in that.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I grew up in a small town in SW Missouri named Neosho. Total population was less than 10,000. It was a nice place to grow up. I've traveled some, but not a tremendous amount. I go to Texas quite often with my jewelry business and love Dallas. I've been to Yellow Stone, up the California Coast from SanDiego to the Red Woods in Northern California, to Washington D.C. and through the Virginia's. Probably my favorite place I've gone was to Carlsbad, NM. The Carlsbad Cavern was absolutely amazing. God is evident in every part of that! The Grand Canion was also amazing! I would love to go out of the country sometime... My parents and sister have been to Japan and then up into Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Would love to do that sometime.

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
Group social activities are always fun at Church. Just being around my Christian family makes me happy. I'm involved in the Choir and a bible study that I enjoy. Other than that, I like any activity where I can be creative. I love stamping, scrapbooking, or just in general doing some kind of craft. I enjoy couples card games like spades... or just going out with friends for dinner. And of course I love going to my son's baseball games in the summer!

What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
During the school year I get up around 6am, get myself and the boys around, to school and to work. I work until around 4:30pm and then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually do jewelry shows after work. On the other 3 nights and the weekends, it depends on what the boys have going and whether or not they are with they are with their dad. If I'm home after work, I fix dinner, then spend the evening with my boys or catching up on work or tv.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
I don't make tons of specific long-term goals, as you don't always know what God has coming around the corner, but I do have some short-term goals. I want to continue to provide well for my boys, both emotionally and financially. I want to get to the next leadership level in my jewelry business. I want to continue helping grow the contractors association I work for. I want to continue the works I have going in my Church. My spiritual goals are to continue in my walk with the Lord and to continue to grow closer to him. Some areas I would like to improve on would be through study and prayer. My two weak areas.
