Christina has a passion for teaching and sharing God's love with women and children. The Lord is using her and her life in many dynamic ways. Christina has dealt with many difficulties in her 32 years. Her beloved step-father unexpectedly died when she was sixteen years old, while just a junior in high school. She had to grow up fast and help a grieving mother get through the day; along with stepping in as acting parent to her younger sisters. Married at the young age of 18, the first year of her marriage almost ended in divorce but was stopped on the very day it was to be finalized. Madelin was a very sickly child and became deathly ill twice in her first year of life. There were many nights that Christina cried unto the Lord to heal her precious child. Christina is a strong believer that the Lord has allowed her to experience suffering so that she may share her experiences with others and give them hope.
