FROM TAMI
Aloha Jesus's beloved ones! I'm so honored to be a part of WIML 2024 and look forward to getting to know you! To share a little about me...I was an Air Force kid so I have lived in Michigan, Tehran, Iran, Maine, Texas, and finally Hawaii where I've lived for 48 of my 59 years of life. Wow! I don't FEEL old but thank You Jesus for all these years! It goes by fast, you beautiful younger women, so live your days as close to Jesus as possible. :)
I've lived most of my life here in Kaneohe Hawaii, and currently so blessed to live here with Mike, my sweet husband of 29 years in our humble home in Haiku Valley. (Come visit! We have a guest room!) We have 2 fur babies...Jack, our affectionate, 15-year-old fluffy gray cat, and Maggie, our sweet, 5-year-old white lab mix. Mike and I were never able to have children of our own, which has been a sweet part of my journey with Jesus, continually seeking His face with brutal honesty in the pain and disappointment of infertility and then the complete surrender, trusting in His goodness through so many years. He is so good and so faithful.
Before I got into ministry, I was blessed to work in the hotel industry for 20 years as a pool concierge and on a catamaran (where I met Mike), when I really felt the Lord calling me to quit. Thinking it would be the season for me to finally have children, I quickly started serving in my church with the women's ministry and within a year said yes to being women's pastor, thinking I'd just fill in until the real women's pastor came along. :) Well, our Father had other plans, and I've been on staff at Anchor Church in Kaneohe for almost 15 years now. Although I didn't have the children I desired, I do have many spiritual daughters and sons whom I've had the honor of loving and walking alongside. My current roles at Anchor Church are women's and prayer pastor and our Anchor Cares ministry.
In my free time, I LOVE to take long walks with Jesus or a friend in Haiku Valley by my house. It's my healthy addiction amidst my unhealthy addiction to sugar. :) My passion is to be one with Jesus and so filled with His presence that everyone I meet will encounter Him and His absolute love and truth for them and their lives.
Pastor Marion and the WIML cohort were that fresh encounter with Jesus for me while going through an extremely hard time in ministry when I had forgotten the purpose and passion Jesus had placed in me and forgotten who I was to Him. I am forever grateful and as a result, so excited for all of you here to encounter Him in a fresh powerful way! Get ready to be sweetly loved and reminded that you are known and seen and perfectly loved by Him with wonderful purpose!
