One of My Greatest Experiences with God: In 2003, I was in Montana training to go on a trip with YWAM to South Africa, and it was during those weeks of preparation when I would go to spend my daily time with the Lord that I came to know Him as the Lover of my soul. As I read His Word and worshiped, He spoke to me. I had not experienced that so deeply before. I have been in love with Him ever since!
Most People Don’t Know This About Me: I used to pretend I was Sandi Patti when I was little and would sing along with her songs at the top of my lungs with a microphone. I would also line up my stuffed animals and preach to them.
