About Me

It all started when…

I am a stay at home mother of two children, a wife of a loving husband for 15 years, and a follower of Jesus Christ with every fiber of my being. I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with a B.S. in exercise science. I was a fitness director/personal trainer for 12 years until I quit to stay at home with my children. So, don’t be surprised if I throw in a few health and exercise tips.

I have a passion for teaching, studying, and writing about God’s Word. I strive to learn everything I can about Biblical history and theology. I enjoy sharing my testimony, gardening, spending time at the lake, exercising, and volunteering with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Through many years of living a life of being thrown into situations that I did not ask for, God called me to teach His Word and help other women that are dealing with the burden of life.

I grew up in a Christian family and learned about Jesus as a child. I feel very privileged to have parents that raised me in a Christian home, but we also had our struggles. Our family struggled with a family member’s teenage pregnancy and drug abuse. I saw how my parents suffered from the pain this caused our family and I vowed to myself that I would never disappoint those I love, including God. I developed a perfectionist mentality and put pressure on myself to make everyone happy.

My perfectionism grew as I grew into adulthood and saw there is so much out of my control. My husband and I miscarried our first child and it took 3 years to conceive again. I was a caretaker of a 3-year-old, 8-month-old, and my husband as he battled cancer for 3 years. None of these things did I sign up for. But through these experiences, God grew me closer to Him. I have accepted that I am not in control. God guides me in my daily life so that I can get through the struggles that come my way.

I feel called to guide and advise women on how to live their lives as imperfect women growing closer to Jesus in an imperfect world. I try to live every day to glorify God.
