A few weeks later, Calvary Commission became my new home. During my one year stay at this wonderful ministry, The Lord healed me of my past hurts, delivered me from a hardened heart, and restored my spiritual condition.

We met and got to know one another while ministering at a Mardi Gras outreach in Galveston, TX. On March 6, 2008, we were married.
