Best gift that I ever received: Grace

IF ONLY:
I could meet: Mary, mother of Jesus

I could do life over: I would work harder on developing a good relationship with my sister much younger.

How I became a Christian: My Cat!!! On March 12, 1986 a cat was abandoned out in front of our house. Sealed in a box, with green beans to eat...my prayers were answered! I knew then that God was real and he cared about me...he had answered my prayers and sent me the perfect gift....I just knew it was from Him...this was no coincident! With her perfectly shaped heart nose we named her Annie..after little orphan Annie. I came to Christ that year because of that seemingly small blessing!

Interesting facts about Gods grace in my life: My daughter Olivia Grace was born on March 12, 2002 (same day God gave us Annie) and on her foot was a birth mark....a perfectly shaped heart! 4 years later when searching for names for our soon to be born second child, I stumbled across Annie...whose meaning simply said "Grace!"...after reading other meanings, everything Annie symbolized to me, was written in one of the descriptions...we found "Favored Grace, gracious, merciful and prayer". We decided to continue the theme of grace that had been woven into our lives and chose Isabelle Annie Brower for our second child's name. Incidentally both of my girls were born on Tuesdays..."Tuesday's child is full of grace". Annie the cat lived 21 wonderful and healthy years...she is and has always been a perfect example of God's love, grace and care for even the smallest things in our lives...it is all apart of His plan!

I'd describe my faith as: rooted

I can't wait to ask Jesus face-to-face: What he was like as a child growing up.

What I would like to say to the people of Kainay: Thank you for making Kainay a true home to me. I have been welcomed with open arms and it is such a wonderful place to be!
