How I Got Started Cooking:
Publishing a cookbook was always a dream of mine. Over the years, pursuing my deep-rooted passion for cooking and creating recipes with a phone filled with photo shots of my creations and binders recipes I perfected. The pursuit of the most delicious recipes has always fascinated me, compelling me to experiment and develop my own. The more I cooked, the more I discovered what didn't work and what earned compliments. My collection of recipes is so vast that it requires (3) six-inch binders, which are bursting at the seams.
My Family:
During my early years, I experienced the heartbreaking loss of my only sibling, my brother, who passed away from a heart attack at 23. At the age of 27, I experienced a life-altering car accident in which I was ejected and landed 165 feet from impact and had to be airlifted to the hospital. Don't miss out on the TV show 700 Club, where you'll witness an incredible, miraculous event. Even though Tim and I had only known each other for two weeks, was there in the hospital with my family, providing solace and care. He swept me off my feet. It has been over 14 years since we married and my husband has brought so much joy into my life. Our family is complete as we have three amazing children.
“Grateful to Live Another Day.”
Prepare yourself for a story so touching, you won't be able to look away! It will only take a brief 5 minutes, but make sure to have a tissue handy, just in case.
Why the 700 Club?
During my time at North Kansas City Hospital, I worked on the Vascular Access Team and performed IV placements on patients during a twelve-hour shift.
I was asked to go to a room where a woman needed an IV for a procedure. She and her spouse praised the hospital and were impressed by the staff's kindness and expertise. North Kansas City Hospital was the best hospital I had ever worked for, and I agreed. I agreed that the care at NKCH was excellent, and when I was a patient there in 2008, they took great care of me.
The husband inquired about the nature of my visit. As I started the woman's IV, I shared the story of my car crash in 2008 and the life-flight to NKCH. Once her IV was finished, so was the story's conclusion. They were astounded and urged me to call The 700 club and share my testimony. They stated that the testimony of God's work is inspiring and should be shared with others. I agreed.
First, I responded with, “Who is The 700 Club?”
What We Enjoy
Our home is nestled in the heart of Missouri. We enjoy boating and UTV riding. Our family faithfully attends Lake Viking Church, where we find solace and community. We strive to walk with love, spreading kindness and generosity wherever we go. We live our lives by the word of God and Jesus Christ as our Savior.
My Background:
Being tech-savvy, I find fulfillment in the process of bringing my ideas to life. It was during my studies in computer programming that I came to the realization that it wasn't the right path for me.
With a degree in nursing, I have experienced various roles in the field. As a floor nurse, I provided direct patient care and support. As a Care Plan Coordinator, I developed and implemented personalized care plans. As an MDS Coordinator, I ensured accurate documentation and compliance. As a Nurse Manager, I oversaw a team of healthcare professionals. As an Intensive Care Nurse, I dealt with critical cases. Finally, as a Vascular Access Nurse, I spent twelve hours starting intravenous lines, ensuring patients received the necessary lines. I hold a great admiration for others and derive satisfaction from offering support. However, being away from my family for an average of 14 hours each day was not a pleasurable experience for my family.
My husband and I delved into diverse sectors such as billboards, laser engraving, commercial roofing, and commercial property ownership. Eventually, in 2019, we sold all of our businesses. I am deeply passionate about undertaking tasks independently. Engaging in the purchase and sale of properties was equally unchanged. I held a position as a real estate agent, facilitating the purchase and sale of our properties. Eventually advancing to the role of a Real Estate Broker where I ranked 43rd in SW Florida sales. I'm grateful to have been able to write devotions in two published books: Ephiphany and Trusting God.
I would love for you to join me on a journey together to build friendships.
