a bit about me.
I am an ambitious soul, saved by the grace of God, with a heartfelt desire to share His light, love, and truth with the world around me. I am... Daughter of the Risen King Jesus. Wife (to my best friend and the true love of my life). Mom (biological, adoptive, and bonus). Marketer. Designer. Organizer-par-excellence. Health-driven, quirky, silly, ME. Truth is, I am a bit of a mess...but that's ok, I am reminded by my Savior daily - perfect is not the plan this side of heaven...GRACE is. And I like to think I compensate by keeping the cleanest house you will ever see. Haha, just kidding (maybe not though?!). Alrighty, moving on to the good stuff... I am Kingdom minded and Spirit filled. I love Jesus first and foremost. I love my husband. I love my children. I love my family. I love life. I love creativity. I love everything Christmas...at all times of the year (yes, true fact). Safe to say that I love LOVE. But, there is nothing I love more and nothing that fires me up like sharing HIS LOVE. With a world that is darkening daily, a culture that is desensitized, and a rising of counterfeit "christianity", we need to be on guard, on alert, and filling our minds, hearts, and lives with the Word of God. Jesus, the Word made flesh, gives us great warnings about the days we are living in, and I have a weight on my heart to be a light of truth to women, as we navigate living life well unto the glory of God in a world filled the devil's lies. Feeble and frail as I am, I know as believers, this is our calling. There are people walking this earth all around us with a real need of the Savior's saving grace, and we, as blood-bought sinners, have the honor and privilege of sharing that life-changing, life-saving truth!
Other bits of life that I enjoy are... My adorable lab pups. Creativity in every facet. Fitness (I love running, biking, and working out). Photography. Writing. Experimenting with recipes (both cooking and baking). Reading. Exploring the wonderful creation around us. Everyday adventures. People. History. Oh... and ps: I am kind of a perfectionist. So you see, that doesn't really work well in my species, being that I am a human, and we are by nature, flawed, fallen, and sinful. But see, I have a GREAT BIG GOD, who loves me, and graciously grows me and molds me in this area of my life every single day. Even better, He has come to show me the good I can create in the world by allowing this "perfectionist" side of me to paint the world a little prettier, a little brighter, and a little tidier. And ultimately, it points me to the PERFECT ONE... Jesus Christ - my all in all, my beautiful Savior. God is indeed good...in all things. And that is my SINGLE GOAL - to shower the world with His goodness and His grace, even by this tiny little world of encouragement and exhortation found here. My ultimate goal is that while we discuss and navigate through the ups and downs of our faith, our journeys of fitness, walking in freedom, and our family lives, that we are all brought closer to Him, following Him, loving Him, and knowing that we are loved by the King of kings! To Him be the glory forevermore! Hallelujah! Amen!
