I am an imperfect person loved by a perfect God! I am mom to three amazing daughters and married to my favorite person ever, Matthew.

ONE INTERESTING THING ABOUT MICHELE
I love the beach!  I could sit and watch the waves roll in all day long.  There is nothing like the roar of the ocean.

HOW DID YOU MEET AND BECOME FRIENDS WITH JESUS? 
I accepted Christ in elementary school, but really started growing in my walk with the Lord my senior year of high school after attending a Billy Graham Crusade event in Cleveland.  It still leaves me speechless that the God that created the universe loves me just as I am.

FAVORITE VERSE
“Fear not for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;  I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those that take refuge in him.” Proverbs 30:5

YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME WITHOUT… 
My phone because I am always taking pictures and you never know when you’ll want to capture another moment.  My girls get a little irritated with me!

 WHY COMMUNITY BIBLE CHURCH?   
I know I am one that likes to stay in my comfort zone because it feels safer there, but my story at Community is my favorite example of Ephesians 3:20 in my life.  “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.”

 We came to Community during a time in my life that I didn’t feel like I had much to give and it was a big step out of my comfort zone to join the launch team.  The Lord showed me through that step of faith that He is mighty and faithful. Even though what I had felt small, I had a willing heart and I had Him and that was all I needed.  He has taken that small amount of faith and grown it in so many ways over the last few years as a result of us being at Community.  I never would have thought the Lord would be using me the way He is, but  I am so grateful and hope my story can encourage others in their walk with the Lord.   I love being a part of this body of believers.  It truly is a place where I can be authentic, feel loved and grow in my faith and walk with the Lord.
