Favorite Bible Verse:
“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10
I was born and raised in Wisconsin Rapids, and I feel blessed to be part of the Immanuel teaching family. Every day is an opportunity to share, learn, and grow in Jesus and His love. And every day is an adventure! As a reading interventionist and an art teacher, I get the chance to share two of my passions with my students: reading and art! I also enjoy road trips, spending time at the lake, campfires, and spending time with my family.
Our school’s theme this year is “Endure” (Hebrews 12:1-3). Briefly share a time in your life when you felt you needed the endurance that only God can provide. How can you use your experience to share God’s love with the students and families in our school?
With God’s guidance I’ve found the strength and patience to endure some health issues in our family. It’s hard to watch family members go through ongoing issues. My family and I find ways to help but often times we end up feeling helpless. There are things in life that we do not have control over. Our students and their families will sometimes experience things they do not have control over. In those times we need to trust in God and go to him in prayer. He has total control and knowing we can always lean on Him brings great comfort.
Which celebrity would you like to meet? Why?
Reese Witherspoon, because not only has she been in several movies that I enjoy, but I also really enjoy her book recommendations. I love Reese Witherspoon Book Club picks! I feel like we could go to a coffee house and talk books for hours!
