ME, IN A NUTSHELL...
I know this is where you generally find the typical bio, but I thought it would be fun to share the 4-1-1 on the “personal” me and you can find the more formal bio pasted below. But first, here’s me in a nutshell.
Me - Often goofy, never perfect, love to laugh (especially at myself). Passionate about Jesus, passionate about being passionate. Not a girly girl, but secretly want to be. Just learning to accessorize, don’t know my colors, hate to shop, have a love/hate relationship with menapause, love missions, hate to fly, trying to find someone to nominate me for “What Not to Wear.”
Family - I’m married to my best friend who thinks he’s funnier than I am. More talented, yes...funnier, no way. He’s a pastor, a drummer, a surfer and a man of God who is absolutely passionate about reaching this generation for Christ. I’m blessed to be “mom” to two young men who are as different as night and day. Karl (my oldest) is Mr. Sports. He loves every kind of sport on planet earth. He is married to a sweet and godly young woman and they are parents to my first grandgirl. Oh my, life as an abuela (grandma) is so sweet! DJ (my youngest) is Mr. Talent. Singer, songwriter, musician, graphic designer, ect… He’s my go-to guy for all things computer.
Tidbits - Here’s a little-known tidbit of information about yours truly. I was adopted. My birth mom was raped - I was the result. I met her when I was 27 and was elated to find out she was a believer. God has blessed me beyond measure with two wonderful moms. One that loved me past the pain of rape and chose life for me instead and one who would love me and raise me as her own.

Abuelita Que Dios te bendiga. I am glad that you choose to follow M300 Ministries on Twitter today. I love your testimony and that from a missionary guy who has served in missions in Costa Rica. I am ready to go to Costa Rica again. We can we go? Seriously the Lord has been pressing upon my heart a need to return to the land where I learned Spanish and Hispanic culture. Take a closer look at http://www.m300ministries.org and let's start to pray for an opportunity to partner in Costa Rica.

Hey Steph,
Somehow..well Devine intervention:) ..every
few years the Lord brings us together. We pick up
just where we left off.
This time we are both tossed about with our mothers and their journey with cancer and now to
peace with The Father. I don't have the words to
express all of the emotions. Love. Love.
You look radiant and I can see the love of Jesus
shine through you!

Powerful testimony. I'm glad you are in ministry. Your life story, conversion and heart for Jesus will touch many lives in a positive way.
