A bit about me:

I grew up in the small town of Monrovia, Indiana surrounded by cows and cornfields. When I was 14 years old, I met my now husband of 10 years on a sand volleyball court at a nearby public pool. I got married to him as soon as I turned 18 since he lived away in the Air Force, so then I lived on Shaw AFB, SC. We've moved several times, but are back here in Indy now. God loaned us three special kids in the process.

Since I can remember, I have always been passionate and gifted with music through instruments and voice. Unfortunately I gave up singing for a long time though after a lady in our small church told me I needed to sing quieter because I was too loud. I loved the stage! I wanted to be the center of attention in most circumstances until my innocence was unexpectantly and continuously ripped away from me at an early age.

I am a SURVIVOR of several forms of abuse. This sucked me dry for quite some time and left me feeling shamed as though I could never be of any use to God. I always dreamed of singing, but wasn't brave enough to share my voice again. I hid that, as well as the abuse from almost everyone. Not too long ago, I got sick of hiding and decided I couldn't ignore my God given passions and gifts anymore.

When I first sang in church again as an adult, my family (including my brother who had his head burried from anticipated horror ;-) thought the background tape was on the wrong side and that it was the original performer...I've never hidden my voice since. God keeps letting me use it, and has since allowed me to continue writing lyrics from my heart through my life's experiences so I can share with others His hope, love, mercy and grace through all circumstances.

I know what it feels like to be stripped and broken, only to have God to rely on until each days' end. He is my everything! No longer will my past define me through the multiple scars it may have left. God defines me and I thank Him for allowing me the opportunity to wake-up and see this beautiful reality!
