		<aboutMe>I am a complex person who wears many hats.  I often forget which hat I am wearing at any given moment, only because they seem to blur together at times.  I have been told I am an intense person because I like to go deep, getting under people&apos;s skin attempting to dismantle the facade to get to who they really are.  I am a homeschool mom of three girls, a pastoral counselor, a co-pastor with my husband in a place many have said is insignificant. I am called to evangelize the heart of the believer, to reach the lost, and to be at the disposal of my King. 
     I, like anybody else, struggle with life at times.  I am far from perfect and sometimes just need another person&apos;s perspective to help me get out of the rut i am in, or to help me grow spiritually or as a person.  I am a leader by calling, not by choice which makes it difficult at times because I am so transparent.  Other leaders have told me not to be so transparent-&quot;people won&apos;t respect you&quot;, but it is who I am, so ... if you don&apos;t repect me, that is your problem, not mine.
     This blog is to process life.  Dialogue helps bring perspective, so come dialogue with me, even if your perspective is different than mine. That is how our life is enriched.</aboutMe>
