About Me

I am a sinner by nature – left to myself, there is no sin I am not capable of committing – no vile thought I am not capable of thinking. 

But God….

Redeemed to Himself and made me His own.  He loves me with an everlasting love and my life has never been the same since the day He drew me to Himself, forgave me of my sins, and adopted me into His family.

I am the wife of a man I do not deserve – God’s gift to me.  He loves me unconditionally – despite the fact that he knows me better than anyone here on earth.   He seeks to love me the way Christ loves the church; and because of his love to me – I have grown in my walk with the Lord. 

I am the mother of six children.  Four homemade – two handpicked.   I view my role as Mom to be one of my highest callings.   Despite the fact that I love my children more than my own life, I have failed them many times.   I have been awestruck with their ability to love and forgive.  Any good they accomplish with their lives is a result of God’s work in their lives.  Any failures – a result of the sinful nature I passed down to them. 

Family life is far from perfect – in fact, it’s downright messy sometimes.  It’s God’s avenue to grow us and sanctify us.  Growth is always painful.  We’ve learned together that we can love unconditionally, forgive radically, and that grace is big enough to draw us back to each other.  We understand grace because of God.  He's what holds us all together.

I am passionate about loving children with special needs, foster care and adoption. 

I love to write and play piano and lose complete track of time when doing either.

I am middle aged, and in the forty-seven years I have lived here have found that this fallen world has nothing of eternal value to offer me.   I long for Heaven – that’s where I’m headed.   Until that day, I seek to love the Lord with all my heart and soul and mind – and my neighbor as myself.  I fail much.  Grace is always there.  

One thing I know for sure – God is good – all the time.  I want my life to count - - for eternity and for Him.
