I was born in Yakima, WA in June of 1980. When I was one my parents divorced. My Mom got remarried when I was five. When I was four my parents started going to a church and became Christians. When I was five, I made a decision to follow Christ. I really didn't understand much about it until I was 13 and became a true follower. The biggest blessing that came from knowing Jesus was the reconciliation with my step-father.

     All through grade school until I was 16 we lived in Goldendale, WA and were involved with the Grace Brethren Church there. I grew up a lot in my faith with help from many faithful adults who were involved in my life. When I was 16, I moved to Granite Falls, WA where I first got involved with the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. My faith was tested and strengthened there. Because I was new to the area I didn't have many distractions from the Lord.

     I was 20 when I met Garrett Bemis and he decided to follow Jesus. We were married a year later. We have been married over eight years and have three beautiful children that help me to remember how God sees me! In my life and through all the ups and downs that go along with it, Christ has been faithful to me and I hope to share that and pass it on to my children and others.
