Hello, friends! I’m passionate about living boldly, fearlessly and purposefully! But I am most passionate about Jesus and His truth. I get excited about sharing how His love transforms our lives, redeems our past and gives us hope for tomorrow.
I’m a lover of reading, traditions, family, feasting, His Word, nature, tea, dancing and all things creative. Most importantly I have the honor of being called mom by 3 precious boys. I’m married to an amazing man who was my first boyfriend and first kiss. We served in the mission field in South America close to a decade from 2008-2017 working with international youth, street kids, missionary care and girls rescued from abuse, exploitation, and trafficking.
I’m a writer, speaker, Family Life Coach and Bible teacher. And as of recently an author! I had the honor of publishing a book! It’s a Bible study for women. You can find it HERE. I have been in ministry for more than 20 years sharing God’s truth and hope by mentoring, teaching and leading workshops for women from all over the world.
I graduated from Columbia International University with a Masters in Christian Education with a focus in counseling. I am a certified Life Coach through the Association of Christian Counselors program. This Fall I will be a certified “The Blessing” Coach and Mental Health Coach via the Association of Christian Counselors.
I am excited to expand my ministry here on my blog by offering life coaching sessions and mini-courses beginning in August 2017. Scheduling sessions now!
We must let go of the life we have planned. So as to accept the one that is waiting for us.” ~Joseph Campbell
