What year did you start working at First Baptist?

1998  

Tell us how you came to know Christ:
I was 7 years old and at VBS and I really don’t remember what really happened but I do know that from that day forward, I was going to be a different person with Jesus in my heart!

What’s your favorite thing about your job?
I enjoy the church members and my co-workers  

What’s your favorite Bible verse currently?

Proverbs 3:5 & 6  

What do you feel like God is teaching you lately?
I need to give Him EVERYTHING and not just certain parts of my life but He wants to help me in every aspect no matter even if I think I can handle it and I don’t need to “bother” Him.

What are your hobbies?
I enjoy watching college football (especially the TCU Frogs – GO FROGS!) and taking trips with my husband Randy, playing with our grandson, and shopping at the Container store, Target and office supply stores.   

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up and why?

I wanted to be a teacher so I could be “boss”.  

Tell us a bit about your family?
I have been married to Randy for nearly 12 years, I have two grown step-daughters and a grandson that is seven years old.

What’s your favorite meal and who would be attending?
I don’t really have a favorite meal but I can make a meal out of chips and salsa and/or queso and I would be with family and good friends that make me laugh.  

Tell us a little known fact about yourself:

I was kissed by Clint Hurdle while getting his autograph when he was a rookie playing for the Kansas City Royals. For those of you who don’t know who that is, I believe he is now the new hitting coach for the Texas Rangers.  

Why should someone get involved at First Baptist Church Arlington:
Why not? There’s a ton of great people  at FBCA and God is present everywhere here. Besides, there is a lot of stuff to get involved in. You can be as involved as you want to be.
