Although she loved working with teenagers, her heart was called into her current role, serving full time in the field of <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>ministry and missions. She is an ordained minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ as she travels abroad to foreign mission <\/em><em>&nbsp;fields teaching about the \u2018hope\u2019 found only in Jesus.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Becky is humbled at all the opportunities she\u2019s given working with students and adults. She feels privileged and blessed <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>to be given opportunities to speak to various churches, ladies\u2019 conferences, ladies\u2019 retreats, youth events, business <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>events, as well as other venues to share about life changing experiences. Becky is the founder of &#8216;<\/em><strong><em>One Day Closer <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Ministries&#8217; <\/em><\/strong><em>where she is a Christian Motivational Speaker who travels across the US and globally to bring uplifting and <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>encouraging messages of <\/em><strong><em>perseverance and hope<\/em><\/strong><em>.

Becky is also a missionary as ODC Ministries partners with <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>other non-profits to help meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of others, both here in the United States and <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>abroad.<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Becky has been married to her husband, David for 31 years. When asked what is her greatest accomplishment, she will <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>not hesitate to say it is her <\/em><strong><em>two beautiful daughters<\/em><\/strong><em>. Her oldest daughter Shelbi who graduated magna cum laude from <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>Texas A &amp; M University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology and recently completed a Master\u2019s degree in Social Work. <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>Shelbi is a full-time elementary teacher and loves working with children who struggle with the challenges and tragedies in <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>life where she can also share about the hope found in Jesus.

Shelbi and Matt in October, <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>2019, brought into this world a handsome baby boy named \u2018Carter\u2019 and these 3 little humans have given Becky the title of <\/em><em>&nbsp;\u2018Bebe.\u2019&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Becky\u2019s youngest daughter Skylar is a free-spirited, fun-loving typical teenager who illuminated the light of Jesus as she <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>loved everyone unconditionally in her own, animated and contagious personality. Becky shares the journey that began in <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>2011 when her youngest daughter Skylar, at the age of 15, went home to be with Jesus as a result of a tragic car crash <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>while traveling on a school trip. Becky was the HS Vice Principal at the time and arrived on the scene to discover the one <\/em><em>&nbsp;student fatality was her own daughter. <\/em><strong><em>The journey of seeing \u2018hope THROUGH tragedy\u2019 began that day<\/em><\/strong><em>.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Becky is not a speaker who dwells on the tragedy, but rather <\/em><strong><em>shifts our perspective toward the light <\/em><\/strong><em>even while<\/em><em> <\/em><em>traveling \u2018through\u2019 the darkest of times. She uses humor and laughter throughout her presentations and the audiences <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>leave with both tears of laughter and tears of joy as she allows others to SEE joy and believe the HOPE that awaits those <\/em><em>&nbsp;who follow Jesus.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Regardless of her resume, accomplishments, or travels, Becky is now known best as \u2018a typical mom.\u2019 A mom who\u2019s<\/em><em> <\/em><em>relaying the message of her youngest daughter Skylar, who is changing the world&#8230;one person at a time. <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><strong><em>\u201c\u2026in this world you will have trouble.
