Grew up going to a Methodist church. Changed to a Baptist church at about
the age of 14. Soon got saved, but was
difficult to convince me as I already loved Jesus Christ and had even been
standing up against the lie of evolution
taught in class at school.
Before switching churches, I'd been told
by others that people like to hear me sing. Ever since around when I was 10...or so, and even when visiting other churches as an adult, people have just
turned around right during singing times
in the congregation and told my parents
as to she can really sing beautifully or
said it to me and whomever I was with
at the service.
Soon after changing to attending that
Baptist church, my mom was asked by
a missionary guy there if I would help with his work of doing puppets. It was all new to me and great fun! You had to
memorize lines and we even did performances at hospitals for groups
of kids!
Had been taking private guitar lessons since
a young age. What started me wanting to learn to play that originated from being a Girl Scout. We were around the
campfire singing, and I mentioned as to
we should have a guitar player. No one
else seemed interested, so that then led to "I will do it!" Went home and told
my parents about what happened. They
soon took me to the music store (already had a flute/band) and I chose mine, even though an employee kept
showing me others. This guitar would later go on a mission trip with me! I was
fifteen, met teens from elsewhere and when we arrived at the church we were going to help work at, they started telling that I can sing. My guitar and I were very quickly leading in song after
song in the pulpit area of that church!
First, a few of their people listened to me sing up by their piano, and they enjoyed it, so had me lead the singing!
This trip was great! Met a guy...age 16...
and I stayed with the family that owned the malt shop! Lived a dream! All meals
were free if I ate there! Rule of my parents was..no dating till I'm sixteen. What was I to do? Thought about it, then had the time of my life for then! I stayed with a few other girls in a camper in the
driveway. We went on to date each other for about a year, even though he lived about an hour from my parents.
My guitar has been many places, different states, even played outside at
work on the picket line! I convinced others to bring their instruments and we
had quite a band going!
At this same age, around 16...got my
love for flying! Had a guy friend (a son
of a bank executive) that was taking flying lessons on Pipers, and he bought
me the lesson material as a gift! I learned how to check the planes before flights, and sat inside them pretending I was the pilot!
