Inspiring biblical passage of the moment: I am currently studying the People of the Promised Land through Bible Study Fellowship, and the book of Joshua is fascinating to me!

Spiritual growth focus at the moment: I would love to have a greater understanding of the Old Testament. 

Profession: Stay-at-home mom and Beautycounter consultant. 

A one sentence bio of yourself: Christ-follower, wife, mother, daughter and friend who loves football, the beach, and as much Mexican food as I can stuff into my belly. 

When did you first encounter God and how did you encounter Him? I was blessed to be raised in the church from a very young age and recall many wonderful times at camp where I felt so close to God; it was as if He was physically there with us. 

What has helped you grow spiritually in this season? My family and I joined a local Christian, faith-based gym call Trinity Fitness that has strengthened not only our physical bodies but our relationships with Christ. 

Just read/currently reading (and what has it taught you?): I wish I had more time to read! Right now I am working on the BSF study I mentioned above so I’m mostly reading the Bible and nothing much else. 

Top three essentials: Jesus, coffee, air conditioning (we’re in FL, it’s always hot, here).

How did God speak to you recently? I recently felt God pushing me towards becoming a trainer at Trinity Fitness, and my husband and I actually just completed our certification. When we train, we not only help with exercises, but we pray for the warriors (that is what we call the participants) and give a <5 minute devotion. 

“When we train, we not only help with exercises but we pray for the warriors.”

Hobby: Working out and playing with makeup. 

Top three practical tips for staying spiritually strong: Stay in the Word, listen to Christian radio and talk to God throughout the day.

A dream you have? Does dreaming of going to any tropical island count? Ha!

A special tradition you and your family engage in or keep: Matching cousin PJs at my mom’s house, on Christmas Eve.

Question you will ask when you get to heaven? I don’t think I’ll be able to form a single word, let alone a sentence. I’ll be in complete awe. 

Thing you want to raise awareness about: Melanoma. Please visit your dermatologist annually no matter what your age is, especially if you ever used tanning beds!

What do you usually do before 9 a.m.? Drink coffee, eat breakfast, and gets the kids and myself ready for the day. Also, get my son to school. 

What is on your nightstand? A picture of me and my bridesmaids, a picture of me and three of my friends who cheered with me in the NFL, a lamp, and a sisterhood quote my sister gave me. ❤️
