About


My life has been defined by a deep desire to know God. From the time I was a young girl I remember staring up at the stars in the sky and asking the hard questions. I’m now a 51-year-old grandma and I am still learning. My husband and I have led youth groups, college ministries, and small groups in our home. I’m a 7 on the enneagram with a strong 6 wing, which means I love to have fun and also have dealt with a whole lot of anxiety and depression for the past 26 years. I’ve never quite figured out how to fit in with the women in church. However, I have grown comfortable just being me. My journey has had many ups and downs and I would love to share all of it with you. It’s in telling our stories that we realize we are not alone.
