| Here at The Cornerstone, I guess I would officially be considered the new kid on the block. So let me tell you a little about myself. |
|
| I was born in Cocoa, lived a few years in Tampa before moving to Jacksonville in the second grade (Yep, I am a true Florida native!). When I was in the fourth grade we moved to Palm Valley in southeast Jax. We lived directly on the Intracoastal Waterway where I could fish, crab, throw a cast net and lay out on the dock anytime I wanted to! Not to mention the beach was just a few miles down the road. A little piece of Heaven on Earth! |
|
| In the fourth grade I became friends with two sisters, Janice and Annette. Their mom, Millie, took me in as one of her own, which meant we went to Sunday school and to big church every Sunday. I found myself spending almost every weekend with them. Their dad, Ronnie, would take us fishing and hunting on Saturdays and then off to church we went on Sunday. It was at this church that I accepted Christ into my life. As we entered High School we were forced to go to different schools. We eventually met new friends and started seeing less and less of each other. This meant I got further and further away from church and God. You see, my family never really went to church, not even on Easter Sunday or Christmas. |
|
| In an effort to get out on my own and away from my home environment, I married young and soon found myself a single mom raising my daughter on my own. I was determined that my daughter Crystal would have a Christian upbringing so by the grace of God I was able to afford to enroll her in a Christian school. Even though we went to church, I wasn't living a Godly life and I continued to make wrong decisions. It wasn't until much later that I began to see that my way wasn't working very well. I rededicated my life to Christ in 1996. Unfortunately, I didn't completely surrender it all to Him and I continued to make dumb choices but I knew God wasn't giving up on me on the contrary He was molding me into who He eventually wanted me to be. I continued to grow in my Christian walk, getting involved in my church, small group Bible studies, sharing my life experiences with non-believers, etc. I finally reached a point in my life where I felt I had finally surrendered my entire life to Jesus Christ and was completely at peace with my life, being a single mom and raising my daughter and doing God's will. Selah has a great song that really describes this area of my life. It's called Bless the Broken Road. God had blessed my mistakes (broken road) that finally led me to surrender my life to Him and what He wanted for my life. |

| My life verse is Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. God is so faithful É In August of 2003, the Lord placed a wonderful, Godly man into my life. After lots of praying and making sure we were following Gods will for our lives, Rami and I married on April 2nd, 2005. When I moved to the Port Orange area, Rami brought me in to meet the gang at the radio station. Rami had been a faithful listener of The Cornerstone for years and had contacted Edie and Bill at The Cornerstone before he and I had even met about advertising in The Cornerstone Magazine for help in the afternoons with picking up his boys, Alex and Ryan, from school. Who would have thunk it . (cept God of course ( Jeremiah 29:11 ) |

I started volunteering at The Cornerstone
and well now the rest is history! I am so thankful to our Lord Jesus for His love, grace and compassion that has led my broken road to Port Orange with my new family (Rami, Crystal, Alex, Ryan and Daisy our doggie) and to my other new family at The Cornerstone. |

| I feel so blessed to be a part of this great Christian radio station with such loving, sweet and Christ-centered people working for His Kingdom. |
