Jesus Journey: I was raised in a Christian home by my grandmother, who will forever be my example of what faith lived out and walked out looks like. My love for the Word and looking to it first was modeled by her. I did accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in the living room of my childhood home, watching The Power Team (do you remember them) on TBN at the age of 12. I had many opportunities in children's church and at my church home, but this intimate moment with just me and God and the TV is when I chose to say yes, and I have been following Him ever since.
