Getting to Know Mr. Janise

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
I like to play games with my boys, stream my favorite shows, and write stories. It’s my dream to be a published author one day.

What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Mt 6:33 “Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.” God has seen my family through such a wide range of trials, and I’m sure more are to come. I have always found that when I remember to place God first, lay my fear and anxiety in his hands, and then truly strive to do the best I can in whatever situation I find myself in, God has provided, every single time. Not always the way I wanted or thought I wanted, but every time none the less.
