As a child of God I have spent over 40 years in Developmental Infant and Toddler care. Now retired, my education was in Early Childhood Education. As a teacher, supervisor, director and grant recipient I wanted to bring to children and parents a greater understanding of raising our children to all they can be as adults and children of God, praising Him and learning to trust Him in a real relationship with our Lord. My husband Monte and I raised two daughters and now have four "breath-taking" grandchildren and two great-grandchildren in Lincoln, Nebraska. I believe God does have a plan for each of us if we seek Him with our whole hearts. My hobbies are being involved in my church through quilting, hospitality committee, women's Bible studies, singing, drawing, and amateur gardening, and of course spending time with a large extended family.
