What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Having the knowledge that the Lord can use my efforts and the efforts of my coworkers to encourage our donors, support our networks of pregnancy centers, change the minds of abortion-minded clients, and heal the hearts of those affected by abortion.
What is your favorite Bible verse/book/chapter/section? Why?
Psalm 40:1-3 The Lord has brought me out of the ‘miry bog’ by his grace. When once I was insecure in my steps, He ‘set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.’ What is even more amazing, is that He can use my struggles to point others to Himself. I pray that others will see the ‘new song’ that He has put in my mouth and will ‘put their trust in the Lord.’ It is an honor to be used by the Lord, despite my weaknesses and struggles.
Do you have any weird phobias?
Ladybugs! They look so cute and innocent in cartoon form, but if you look at them in real life they are still gross bugs! Is that weird?
Why are you pro life?
My decision to be pro-life comes out of a genuine thankfulness to the Lord for giving me both physical and spiritual life. Every person is created in the image of God and has the right to live life and develop a relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Who is your favorite fictional character and why?
Amelia Bedelia. She probably seems like a silly choice but I love reading about the ridiculous situations that she gets herself into from literally following her employers’ instruction, such as ‘dressing a chicken’ in tiny clothes. She reminds me to not always take life so seriously. And, being a blonde, I sometimes find myself in some ridiculous situations where all I can do is laugh!
