My relationship with Jesus sustains and transforms me daily. I love to share the healing heart of the Lord with anyone who is seeking God’s answers and watch as Jesus lifts us all into abundant life with Him.

I graduated from Mount Mary with a degree in fashion design and worked in children’s and specialty woman’s clothing manufacturing. Currently, I serve as an administrative assistant dividing my time between Oakbrook and Kettlebrook Churches.

My husband, Bill Bauer and I reside where the Milwaukee River bends west and we enjoy the twists and turns of the river as we love to paddle our canoe together in God’s beautiful creation. On warm summer days, you may find us on a sandbar, tenting on the Wisconsin River or we’ll be flying kites along the Lake Michigan shore.

Four adult children and their spouses bring joy into my life along with five granddaughters and one grandson. So many smiles, not enough time!

Creativity is my favorite activity and I find outlets in drawing, watercolor painting, designing and sewing clothing and knitting. I love the process of vision, planning and execution and it brings me to wondrous awe of God who alone creates “ex nihilo,” out of nothing. Glory be to God.
