Meet the Design Team - Tanis Giesbrecht

Hi Salt Readers!!

I'm Tanis and I wanted to start by saying how much I am enjoying this team :) It's great to study a topic and then have the opportunity to "create" what you've learned.

I grew up in a Christian home, came to know Christ as a little girl and have continued to grow in my faith. I'm thankful for the blessing of being raised up this way, and for God's amazing grace for me each day of my life.

I am a stay at home wife and mom to hubby and 4 kids (12, 10, 8 and 5).
I'm attending a Baptist church in Winnipeg, Manitoba right now where I teach preschool Sunday School and play piano and sing on our music team.

I have a boat load of favourite verses and passages of scripture, but here are 2 of my favourites...
Both are things I need to be reminded of daily!!

Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special. {1 Peter 3:4}

----------------------------------------------------------

I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!

I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. {Philippians 3:10-14}

Thanks for reading
