Our victory is in Him!!!

My Testimony (about me)

I am a Spirit filled believer blessed with a wonderful husband, two wonderful children, ages 27 and 15, and four awesome grandchildren. I was saved in high school but had to wallow in some pig sties. I came back to Him and I have been seeking God's face and growing in Him for about 20 years. I was successful in the world but quit my career three years ago to focus on my family; primarily my daughter, Joy, who was then in sixth grade and being sucked in by the world.

I am a member of an awesome church and a vulnerability group who keeps me transparent (sometimes more than I want to be). I am blessed beyond measure with the number of friends I have in my home church and the family I have around me. My blessings have expanded with this site and with affiliation with Spirit Life Church and many of the members there.

We frequently open our home to youth who need a place to stay and I am known as "Mom Bugg" by many. I especially love having the RAD kids around. (For more on RAD see www.RADministries.com.)

Last summer we were faced with the total rebellion of our daughter, Joy. We sent her to counseling, we tried to talk with her, we read A LOT of books, and tried to implement many different methodologies. However, nothing seemed to reach her. We ultimately made the difficult decision to send her somewhere to get her away from negative influences to try to get her back. A pregnant Joy left for Second Chance in September 2008 and returned to us March 2009 transformed. Her heart is toward our God, her family and her child, Braiden, who was born prematurely, one week after her return.

Little did we know the instruction and coaching we would receive from Second Chance while Joy was away. The amount we grew in the Lord, in our marital relationship, and in our parenting skills is beyond measure.

I have been honored to be asked to be the Parent Support Liaison in Second Chance and would be happy to talk with anyone who has a rebellious teen. Chances are we would have things in common!
