"I am a native Oregonian, and have lived here all of my life (except for short-term mission opportunities in Thailand and Austria).  I love the beauty of Oregon as seen through the driver's window of a sports car traveling through its country roads, great music blaring (tobyMac, Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp...).  I also enjoy its beauty with my family as we commute across Portland, "Look, Mt. Hood is gorgeous today!"  "You say that every time we see Mt. Hood, Mom."  Ah, the simple pleasures of life, enjoying the handiwork of the Creator.  When I am not feasting my eyes on the beauty of Oregon, I enjoy sports, reading, knitting, listening to or making music, learning new things, being with friends...

 

The journey of life is never what we expect it will be.  As my kids and I travel this road together, I have come to know God as the One who allows me to know Him, giving me strength, joy, comfort, and being the faithful provider of everything else I need."
