Beth

Fun Stuff…

Activities:
Being a Mom, whew…that takes most of my time! With a few hours on my own you’d likely find me at a local coffee shop with a gardening magazine.

Interests:
Listening to music. I also enjoy gardening, shopping for antiques, & small projects around the house, going for a drive with my husband and kids. Getting out of the house is the best way for me to relax.

Favorite Music:
Anything Christian primarily…from southern gospel to rap. I like it all. Smooth Jazz is my second favorite.

Favorite TV Shows:
Little people big world, Home repair and house flipping shows.

Favorite Movies:
It’s a wonderful life

Favorite Books:
Gardening books, Bad girls of the bible, The Furious longing of God by Brennan Manning

Favorite Quotations:
Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.

About Me:
I love laughing with my kids, sitting in the living room and having a cup of coffee with my husband. Wishing my parents and brother’s family lived closer. Wonder what incredible plans God has in store for the future. I wonder what my kids will look like and be like when they’re teenagers. I’m really beginning to understand how fast their time goes living with us!

Although she accepted Christ as a child, she choose a rebellious attitude  during teen years. Beth reflects, “As a teenager I searched for something to fill that void in my heart. I thought a lot of parties and a great career in secular radio would bring me happiness.” Nearing her 20′s, Beth was already achieving broadcasting goals, and her self prescribed goals didn’t attain the desired effect. “I was lonely and miserable. I could go into any bar, or other places around the city and was treated like a local celebrity, but inside, my heart was aching with emptiness.” It was during that pivotal moment that Beth realized her dreams and goals were nothing without Christ. She realized that she could return to her faith, and ask for help. “I prayed to Jesus and asked him to guide my life. I didn’t want to guide my own any longer.” Soon after, Beth returned to her hometown, and began her love of radio in a whole new way, taking a new career path in Christian radio.

Since then life has been richer and joyful. Her choice to follow Christ to her best ability is now her life’s goal. “I’m just a flawed human doing my best to follow Christ. We’re all on the same path of trying to rely on Christ in our lives. If I can encourage someone by something I say or a song I play on the radio, I’m thrilled!”
