About Me:
I am 55 years old. For most of my life, I was quite thin, but in the last 15 years, I have put on over 50 lb. It's been hard to adapt to the mind-set that I need to lose weight. I have been married to a wonderful, godly man for almost 7 years. I am a veterinarian (almost 30 years), in small animal practice. Currently, my husband and I are establishing a nonprofit organization to help financially strapped pet owners pay for life-saving emergency vet care. It is called the Veterinary Emergency Funding Mission, Ltd. (VEFM.org).

"The LORD will perfect that which concerns me;" --Psalm 138:8a
"Whoever will not take time for prayer may as well give up all hope of obtaining the fullness of power God has for him. It is 'they that wait upon the Lord' who 'shall renew their strength'."
--R.A. Torrey
"But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."
--Isaiah 40:31
