Wealthy Living Bio

I thought you might want to know a little about me and why I authored this website.  So please continue if you're interested.    

I always new that I was called to a ministry, but not as the pastor of a church.  I would have loved that, but it wasn't my calling.  Instead, I became a Christian teacher and life coach in 1999 and have continued with that work as well as writing Christian materials to help Christians learn how to apply Biblical principles to their every day lives. 

At present I mainly coach for financial growth, using God's Word mixed with practical knowledge for money growth and debt relief, but I also counsel adults who have been abused as children.  Growing up in an abusive environment I understand the mindset and the problems that come with this insidious and sometimes debilitating condition.  However, God's Word brings victory and "new life!" 

Because God has delivered me from the affects of childhood abuse, I feel much gratitude to have the opportunity to help others heal much sooner than I did.  My past abuse had also affected the way I related to money issues, causing me to go in and out of having money and then getting back into debt.  It took some time for me to understand how to take responsibility with God's Word in relation to money combined with a practical means of action for financial growth and debt relief.   

By God using my past for positive growth in others, I'm blessed each time I'm able to help someone find their victory in Christ as I did.  No matter what problems we face, with God at the center we can take an attitude of "I can" rather than, "I can't." 

However, for me victory didn't come so easy.  When I tried to find help for both my personal and financial difficulties from my family church I had little success.  That's when I decided to turn to God on my own for help.  After much prayer and faith that God would help me, I found my way.  It was a slow path because I had no one to help me, but it led to this ministry, so I'm thankful for what God has done with my life.  

I used the information that I had documented during that period to write It Makes Perfect Biblical Sense which teaches faith and prayer principles for receiving answered prayer to overcome all difficulties. 

My husband and I attended Cottonwood School of Ministry in Southern California, and I have an Associate Degree inChristian Studies and a Bachelor Degree in Church Ministry from the Sure Foundation Ministry where I received my pastorate license.  However, I do not have a church as many believe, so I do not receive tithes or offerings.  Many people write and ask me to support them or their church but I have to work for my income as most people do. 

To help people caught in a financial trap I have written the two e-books How To Use God's Wealth Plan and God's Ultimate Wealth Plan as independent studies.   

I live in Southern California with my husband Jim.  We've been married for over thirty years.  We have three children and eight grandchildren.  You can also visit me at: http://www.child-abuse-victim-recovery.com for more information about adult child abuse recovery.
