My name is Mara Gouge.  I am 28 years old.  I grew up in a
Christian home in Northern Illinois.  My mom led me to Christ
when I was 5 years old, and since then I have come to know Him
as my all in all.  I have been married 8 years to my best friend,
Michael, whom I met in college.  He is now the Associate Pastor
of Student and Family Ministry at Pinecrest Baptist Church.  We
have two wonderful daughters.  Makiya is 6 years old and in 1st
grade at Kirby.  Alysabeth is 4 years old and one of Mrs. Lana's
Loyal Lambs.  I have been teaching children in church programs
for over 6 years.  Two years ago I taught a 2 year old class at a
preschool in Fort Worth.  Most recently, I was a kindergarten aide
for Mrs. Jill.  I also have a Bachelors degree in Christian
Ministries/Intercultural Studies form Southwest Baptist University
in Bolivar, MO.  That's a little about me.  I can't wait to meet you!
