Meet your Hineni Gathering Ministry Team

Here I am. My name is Nicole and I live in Denton, Tx. I’m married to Ron and have 6 kids plus 2 bonus step kids. I’ve been a nurse at a family practice office for 13 years. Contemplative practices have enriched my prayer life and have drawn me closer to the Lord in ways I never knew were possible. I love cozy blankets, warm fires on a cold night, good wine and good food, and spending time with people I love. I’m a 9 on the enneagram.

Here I am. I’m Jessica a contemplative who is a 4 on the enneagram. My soul is shy but it longs to be seen, known and loved by God and His people. I have learned, ‘that creative thing in me that wants to make something beautiful is holy.’ I adore rabbits, crave guacamole & enjoy traveling. Through writing & teaching I passionately desire to witness to the furious love of God. I’m blessed with 2 adult sons & a badass husband I treasure. I’m living my best life at a Hineni retreat where God has called me to serve.

 

Here I am. I’m Debbie, a curly-haired contemplative, country as a turnip green. I’m a 2 on the enneagram and I’m often accused of caring too much, as if that is even a thing. I am a wife to a horse-loving cowboy, a mother/step-mom to 3 boys & 1 precious girl and Grammy to 7 adorable humans. I am a life-long student of the enneagram and follower of “The Way”. My passion is people and their stories as I believe we are all connected in one way or another.

 

Here I am. I’m Michelle. I love life and passionately love people. I'm the wife of an amazing man for 17 years, and a Mom to three hysterical almost all adult kids. My quite time with Jesus is my favorite part of my day just learning and Him quenching every ounce of my being.  I love live music, good food, dogs, fashion and to laugh until I pee my pants. I'm a 2 on the Enneagram, helpful, altruistic and sometimes possessive but I love to the core. 

Here I am. I’m Amanda an Enneagram 8. I’m strong on the outside, tender on the inside and a warrior for those I love. I am married with one son and one dog. I love Jesus, shoes, coffee and naps. I am currently studying to be a Christian Counselor and my passion is ministering to young women.  I choose the contemplative life because it’s the one place I can stop fighting the world and rest in His presence.

Here I am, Karla from New Jersey. I’m a recovering co-dependent Enneagram 2, who is still learning to be friends with myself, loving all the parts of me! Always on the move, I love running, swimming and long walks with deep conversations. I’ve been married to my best friend for 40 years (a high energy Enneagram 8) and a mom to 4 incredible human beings who have blessed me with 9 little ones who call me Nonni! We play hard, laugh till we cry, dance till we drop and celebrate the small things…and I always have time for a snuggle! I learned the contemplative life from my dad and continue to seek new ways of being in this world with God. In this season of life my favorite contemplative practices include yoga, and painting to help me appreciate all the beauty in this world. I crave good coffee, dark chocolate and daily stillness and quiet to catch up with myself and allow God to show me the sacredness of it all with Him by my side.

 

Here I am. My name is Teri and I consider Texas my home even though I spent my childhood years in Charlotte, NC. Being a 6 on the Enneagram leaves me indecisive a lot of the time, but one thing I know is that I love serving the Lord through women’s ministry. It has been my passion and calling for many years. Married 29 years to Jim we are blessed to call 3 young men & a beautiful daughter our children. In this season of my life, I have rediscovered my love for reading & I’m learning to practice the contemplative lifestyle. I continue to be amazed with the presence of the Lord in my daily life.

Here I am. I’m Cathy. My favorite song by Casting Crowns sings,  ‘I’m just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, about Somebody, who saved my soul! I’m living for the world to see nobody but Jesus!’   I love Jesus, I love music, & I love to sing in my car when it’s just me and Him!  I am a 1 on the enneagram, often referred to as the perfectionist. My husband Joe and I had 2 sons, then gained 2 daughters-in-love, & we now have 5 GRANDchildren. Contemplative practices have helped me to live out Isaiah 46:10. I am greatly blessed as I continue to grow in my love for the Lord and experience Him in new ways.

Here I am. I’m Cindy, a contemplative in progress, loving the Hineni journey, the path of realization of what I’ve already become in Him, to discover my True Self. I’m an Enneagram 3 whose soul desires to rest in the truth that I am loved for who I am rather than what I do. God has most recently called me to work with children identified with Dyslexia, a treasured joy. I love cats (especially tuxedo males), a close circle of trust, reading books and Audibles. My husband and I we were blessed with a beautiful daughter, who married her long-awaited prince and blessed me with a bonus set of twin girls before the gift of my grandbaby boy, the love of my life.

Here I am. I’m Shannon Moran. I have one daughter I adopted from Russia who blessed me with 3 amazing grandsons. I never imagines the joy I would feel as a “Beebs.” I enjoy a sunny spring day, singing along with Sinatra while scrolling through my camera roll. I LOVE Karaoke, ‘Jesus take the wheel’ fits me as an enneagram 8. Staying strong for others is important to me but I have a soft side as I truly care about the burdens of people. I strive to inspire others to rise up and have their voices heard. The greatest gift I have received is the display of unwarranted kindness & love-GRACE- given from God both directly from Him and through others. I remain forever grateful for this gift.
