My Beginning
I grew up learning about God throughout my childhood, but didn’t develop a real relationship with Him until my early 20’s. I knew God was real and that I loved Him, but it look much longer for me to see the value of truly following after Him.
My husband and I started dating after I graduated high school and started attending church together. It was a church experience I hadn’t had before. I felt welcomed, called and deeply moved every time I walked in. I truly knew God was working in and through me and that His presence was BIG.
Getting plugged in at my church, and eventually working in children’s ministry, helped develop and mold my relationship and thirst for more Jesus. I learned not only more about Jesus, but how to disciple, shepherd and lead others towards Him. For the first time in my life, I really felt I had purpose. Being a Christian became an act of worship and service to the Lord, and not just a casual title I took up.
My Why
Being a wife and mother have been the two biggest blessings in my life. My husband and our two sons have encouraged me to be a better wife, mother and overall follower of Christ. They’ve also helped me see more in depth the love that God has towards us, His beloved children. My purpose is to show others the love of God and experience His grace fully, because it’s truly the best gift I’ve ever received.
Better Together
Walking on the path Jesus lays out for us, is not always easy to do. I hope to encourage you to keep persevering in your faith by sharing my journey, and more about the truth and grace of our Savior.
**All of which will be done with a cup of coffee in hand.
I hope you’ll join me on this sometimes challenging, but incredibly beautiful journey of growing closer to our beloved Father.
