"I am a dedicated wife, mother of four adult children, and a successful entrepreneur who emigrated from Iran to the United States in 1978. Raised in a Muslim household by an open-minded father, I was encouraged from a young age to explore various religious beliefs to find the one that resonated most deeply with me. This spiritual curiosity led me to invite followers of Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Christianity into my home to learn about their faiths. Despite my fascination with spirituality, I faced challenges reconciling my Muslim upbringing with accepting Christianity. It wasn’t until a profound experience in October 2023, during a moment of reflection on global events, that I felt a deep spiritual call which led me to embrace Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at Calvary Chapel Irvine. My career journey began as a car salesperson in West Covina, eventually rising to the role of General Manager at Orange Coast Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Costa Mesa. In March 2023, I left the automobile industry to pursue my passion for crafting environmentally friendly, plant-based candles alongside my husband. Our commitment to producing healthy, non-toxic products reflects our dedication to wellness and sustainability. Through my life, I have exemplified resilience, openness, and a continuous pursuit of personal growth and spiritual understanding. I remain active in my church and committed to my family and new business venture, always striving to live a life of purpose and faith." |

Monthly DevotionalBy Pastor Jim Gallagher, Calvary Chapel Vero Beach
The Morning “My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.” (Psalm 5:3) On a regular basis, how would you describe your mornings? Do you wake up grumpy, dreading another day? Or late, rushing to get your responsibilities done? Or perhaps you arise and rush to get the morning paper, check the news, or peruse Facebook, or the web. David declares that his mornings began with the Lord. Even in the midst of difficult and trying times, he would start his day off enjoying fellowship with God. David determined that before he spent time walking about in this life, he would first spend time with the Lord. There is something special about beginning our days with the Lord. Like the early morning offerings sacrificed at the Temple, we should bring our lives before God as a morning offering. When we give the Lord first place in our day, we will find that He prepares us for what is ahead. There have been so many days where I have had encounters with others, and realized, what I read in my morning devotions, proved to be the very counsel they needed. I have found that during morning prayer, the Lord will impress upon my heart someone who needs prayer; and later find that they were going through something difficult. I was able to participate in their victory by simply praying for them. Most of all, I have observed when I start my day with the Lord, I avoid many of the pitfalls that I trip over on the days that I neglect to give Him first place. Begin today making a commitment to start your day with the Lord.
