I first stepped through the doors of Council Road Baptist Church in 1997, as a single, 24-year-old woman. I attended Quail Springs Baptist Church, until leaving for college at Oklahoma Baptist University. After graduation, I lived in Shawnee for an additional year, working at a facility serving adults with severe mental illness. There are a handful of moments in my life when God has spoken in a near-audible way, and this was one of them. I was sitting at my desk, writing treatment notes for clients, when I heard, “It’s time to move home.” Looking around, no one was in the room with me; I knew the Lord was speaking. Two weeks later, I resigned from my job and moved back to Oklahoma City; at that time my family was attending CRBC, so there I went.
