Becky and her husband, Jonathan, have been married since 1997. They have two children, James and Faith, and have been attending Faith Church since 2002. I am a blessed woman to be doing exactly what I always prayed I could do when I got older: Marry a man who loves God, stay at home with my kids and work for the Lord. I enjoy reading books on prophecy, fishing, spending time with my friends and visiting family. But most of all I enjoy cuddling up next to my hubby and being with my children.
