Raised in a disciplined but secular military home, she never imagined she would one day be filled with the Holy Ghost in a revival service far from anything she’d known. In this episode of Paths to Glory, she shares her remarkable journey from a childhood shaped by intellect and structure to a life surrendered to the will of God.

What began as a faint awareness of God in a dusty Sunday school room became a lifelong calling—through heartbreak, surrender, unexpected obedience, and a burden for Christian education that would touch generations. From art studios to one-room schoolhouses, from single motherhood to finding love again, her story is a powerful testimony of transformation, trust, and the joy that comes from simply saying “yes” to God.

She was only eight when her mother nervously walked into a church after eighteen years away—still clutching the last drag of a cigarette in the parking lot. That Sunday marked the beginning of a new life, not just for a mother rediscovering God, but for a daughter quietly watching everything change.

What followed was a childhood shaped by prayer and anchored by a faithful church family—but also marred by silent battles with shame, insecurity, and a hidden eating disorder that lasted into adulthood. After marrying young and slowly drifting away from truth, she thought she could come back whenever she was ready. But sin doesn’t work that way.

Years passed. Faith faded. Until a dying grandmother’s terrifying warning and a sermon on Holy Ghost Radio jolted her soul awake.

This episode tells the story of a woman who left—but didn’t stay gone. A mother who returned before her husband did. A teacher now shaping the next generation in the same school that helped save her.

Because no matter how far you’ve gone, God never stops calling.

And when He restores… it’s like you never left.

If you’ve ever felt bound by your past, your guilt, your secret struggles, let this closing chapter be your invitation: when Jesus steps into your life, chains don’t just fall—they’re replaced with a future bursting with hope.

Your path to glory starts now.
