 Carol's earliest memory is of sitting in front of a picture window. At the piano. Her answer to, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" changed from one day to the next. All she knew is it included a family and music. And a lot of time to devote to both.Raised in a church heavy on the legalism and light on the grace, she accepted Christ at age 14, then left the church while in college. After more than a dozen years spent buying into the world's lies and worshiping herself, she met Jesus again, this time allowing Him to take the lead. The result is a sometimes serious Christian woman with a heart for ministering to God's girls in a variety of ways, but with only one boss: Jesus! After 20 years of marriage, and with two children, 14 and 10, she's finally getting the hang of being a wife and mother. One day she hopes to actually be good at it. She enjoys reading, gardening, scrapbooking, and playing music. But not cooking. She'd rather leave the cooking to someone else and do the clean up afterwards. Considered a bit edgy and something of a health freak, Carol believes soft words make for hard hearts and hard words soften hearts. She doesn't soften words as she speaks biblical truth into the lives of others. She'd rather set a Psalm to a 12-bar blues pattern than play Kum Bah Yah on that bass of hers. And she isn't easily offended. Carol believes she has been called to serve and worship the God of the Bible. That calling includes the different tasks to which God leads her, requiring her to use the gifts given to her by His Spirit. Knowing her greatest blessings come when she believes God, Carol holds to Luke 1:45, "Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished." Currently, she actively serves in women's ministry, leading Bible studies, directing women's retreats and playing bass guitar in Jesus' name in two Christian bands. She thanks God that He has chosen to use her to help accomplish His kingdom work. Carol would love for you to visit her at She Lives where she blogs out her faith in Jesus. Bring your Bible and your sense of humor. Labels: Carol's Articles, The Blog Team

I totally agree with Darlene--you are gem. I am so glad that God has crossed our paths. I hope that we will meet one day in person--before we get to heaven.
I was thrilled when I saw that you're part of this new team blog, Carol. Excellent choice! I'm a faithful reader of She Lives and I'll be a faithful reader here, too.
Carol, I am in awe to be listed with you. I enjoy your humor and deep thoughts. You always give me stuff to "chew on" for days. Keep up the great work!
