Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Janet Hedin Pickett


After NCHS, I did one year of Bible College at Moody Bible Institute which was an amazing year of studying the Bible, doctrine and theology. After that I returned to Normal and attended ISU for prerequisite work in order to apply for Physical Therapy school. I was accepted and graduated from Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago, fall of 1986. At my home church in Normal, Grace Bible Church on Hovey Ave, I had met my future husband, Tom Pickett. He was transferred from Houston to Il. on an engineering assignment. We married right after graduation and I gladly moved to Texas and have loved it here in every way! We have been married for 35 years this year because of God’s grace and have three children who are a huge blessing to us. I worked full time as an outpatient Physical Therapist in orthopedic clinics until I had children. My third child was diagnosed with dyslexia and so I stopped working to home school him which began a new love and passion - education and specifically Christian education. After home schooling for 6 years, I learned so much and found great fulfillment in working with children who struggle, and thus decided to open a small school in the Richmond, After closing the school, I returned to my original profession part time. Since then, I have retired and hope to focus on the Lord, family, and my family in Christ.
In the Christian life, we suffer, go through great trials and bear many tears along with the rest of the world, but ultimately, God uses it for good in our own life and ususally uses it to bring help and blessing to someone else's life. In Christ, nothing is a waste or futility - all things have a purpose.

I have the fondest of memories growing up in Normal and am grateful to have been in school with each of you.
