It’s been about 20 years since Jesus and I began our committed relationship. His Spirit had pursued me before then, but until I had a “chance” encounter with him at a Sunday service during a business convention, I had not fully recognized his Presence in my life or how loved I am by him! Before KidZ, ministry was via my practice of medicine for over 30 years. Then I married into KidZ at Heart a little over two years ago to my beloved Gordon West.  Currently, I have the privilege of serving as the Executive Ministry Coordinator (HQ & Advancement) at KidZ.  Gordon and I live in Mesa, AZ, USA with a geriatric pup. Our family include two daughters and two sons by marriage, one handsome, smart, amazing- (shall I go on) grandson, and the young-at-heart, Nonna B (my mom). We are part of the Red Mountain Community Church family.  As I continue on this sacred journey with the Lord, I find that each season brings different areas of leading in which spiritual practice creates the best space for me to abide with Holy Spirit in my life. This season has been one of learning Sabbath and applying it to daily life and our life rhythm.  I am most excited about how God continues to form each of us here at KidZ and KidZ at Heart itself! He is faithful and our source in all ways. And I am grateful and humbled to be part of the KidZ community and the work God is doing!
