What do you do at Suncoast? Life Group Director and Saturday Night Children’s Director

 

My Life Goal: To do all God created me to do and to do it for His glory

 

What is so special about Suncoast:  The fact that people can come here with out the expectation of perfection.  We are all works in progress.  I also love the incredible team of volunteers who I have the privilege of working with.

 

Favorite Suncoast moment:  Just to name a few:  The day my husband and daughter were baptized at Siesta Key, anytime Sissy cooks for Munchfest, Pastor Dan’s Saturday night Cappuccino, Teasing Pastor Kevin about Dippin Dots, Sitting in the front row when Terri M and Lora Z sing harmony, I guess the list could on and on.

 

Best day of your life:  The day my daughter Samantha was born

 

Proudest Accomplishment:  Letting God heal my marriage after 13 months of separation

 

Favorite TV Shows: The Apprentice, the NEW Martha Stewart Show, Fox and Friends, The O'Reiley Factor.

 

Favorite movie:   Finding Nemo, the Incredibles, Ice Princess, Steel Magnolias, Life Time Movies

 

Favorite meal: Spiedino Di Mare from Carrabas

 

Favorite restaurant: The Mexican pavilion in Epcot or The Canadian Steak House, also in Epcot

 

Favorite books: The Bible, Too Busy not to Pray, I read a ton of books about small groups

 

Favorite quote:  “Don’t ever forget the reason why we do all this, it’s for the glory of God and the salvation of souls” Pastor Larry in every staff meetings.

 

What do you do in your free time/what are your hobbies?  I like to watch TV Food Network while I cook.  I even have a cool chef’s apron from Williams Sonoma so I look like a TV cook.  I also love digital photography and going to Disney World.

 

Someday I hope to: Win the HGTV dream home give away

 

Things I am thankful for: My Life Group

 

When I grow up I want to:  Keep my sense of humor and not be uptight or crabby

 

Greatest life lesson learned: God is the leader I am the follower

 

Amazing or interesting fact about me: When we drink our coffee in the morning our dog Emma whines until we give her a bowl of coffee, we are pushovers and she is a junkie.

 

I will never try: Food that is described by the phrase “taste like chicken” Why not just eat chicken?

 

Most embarrassing moment:  See Sherrie’s answer

 

Fun Fear:  Chewing gum in front of Sue Hickman
