Terra Sisco - God Loves Me Regardless of My Mistakes
Terra Sisco, minister at Marlow Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma shares how seeking perfection gets in the way of her accepting God's grace and forgiveness and how God's love has always been there for her regardless of past mistakes.
Reverend Terra Sisco shares: I was born and raised in Pope County, Illinois in the southern part along the Ohio River. It is a county that is large in geography with a large population of deer, fish and wildlife but small population of people. It is a beautiful place to live however it doesn’t have much for people.
After graduating Pope County High School in Spring, 1997, I attended Bethel University which was then known as Bethel College in the fall of 1997. I graduated from Bethel in the Spring 2001 earning a Bachelor of Arts. I then attended Memphis Theological Seminary (MTS) in the fall of 2001 and graduated from MTS in the Fall of 2004 earning a Master of Divinity.
I am a first-generation Cumberland Presbyterian who has a unique story to tell in how I became a "C.P.". I served five years in youth ministry and I am now in my 16th year of ministry. I have served 7 years in Illinois, 5 years in Tennessee, 4 years in Kentucky, and now 5 years in Oklahoma.
Music has always been therapeutic for me. It has helped me get through some hard times in my life as well as enhanced my prayer life. I decided to learn how to play the guitar when I was 19 and I do not regret that decision! It has blessed me tremendously! I have two cats named Albert after the former first baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols and Kallie, because she is a calico.
I really like to go to the beach, and dream of having a small beach house one day. I love God’s creation, and I really enjoy all the things about the ocean. I really like to cook and bake, when I have time, and play games with my church members like Mexican Train Dominoes. I really enjoy visiting people on porches and patios. And I absolutely love the gifts of joy and laughter! If you hang out with me at all you are going to see those two gifts of God in me!
