Favourite Scripture verse:
1 Timothy 4:12, ‘Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.‘ (NIV)
Her most memorable quote:
“With as many secular things as there are going on in the world, it’s a hard thing to follow God’s Word everyday and look out for what His will is,” But ultimately the reward of heaven is going to be better than anything else we could imagine. I know the idea of heaven is hard to imagine for some people, but God has told us from the beginning that earth is not our home. As much as we’re going to have struggles and trials here, that’s what we have to focus on and that’s how we get by.”
