I love Jesus, coffee, and family, and I’m pretty sure that humor is my love language.
If you make me laugh, I’m yours forever.
When not looking for my keys or forcing my kids to play a board game with me, I enjoy eating chocolate, sipping on a hot latte, leading worship at my church, studying the Bible with the beautiful ladies at Abba’s House, and speaking truth from God’s Word at women’s events, retreats and on podcasts.
My current mid-life crisis includes pursuing a Masters Degree in Biblical and Theological Studies at Western Seminary and Transformational Life Coaching accreditation from the Global Center for Coaching (ICG and CCNI certifications).
My husband and I have been miraculously married for 30 years and are parents to four adult kids (two from the womb and two from the heart), a beautiful daughter-in-law, and one spoiled pup we rescued in a weak moment.
I write and speak from experiences of disappointment, discontentment, and disillusionment. But I do it filled with hope and humor because God has given me all of Himself. I look for ways to practice His presence and to engage more fully with His Word as I live out the life I’ve been dealt. Sometimes, it stinks—the said dealt life, not the engaging with Jesus—but ALWAYS, he’s good. And he’s trustworthy. And that’s enough.
I am a writer/podcaster living in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. My husband is the President and CEO of the Ridgecrest Foundation, which owns and operates Ridgecrest Conference Center and Summer Camps—the place we met and now call “home.”
My free therapy is Rocket. He’s a hot mess and as ADD as I am. We were clearly made for one another…
