"Some of the greatest joys in my life include: being a mother and wife, reading, volunteering in the community, and learning new things whenever possible."

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

And do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He will make your paths straight.

- Proverbs 3:5-6, NASB

"He who dares to teach must never cease to learn"
