Life is not about me but is instead about the beauty God’s Spirit and my soul creates when brought together. We can face anything and do anything, even the impossible.

To Know Someone is to Understand Them Deeper than a First Impression.

Who am I? Aren’t we all still trying to figure that out?
And as time moves on, we change even more.
The person I am today is different than the teenager I was. And soon I will be different when I’m 45 than I am now.
I could write you a list of self-labels or identities that I have given myself, but that would never fully show you my soul, the essence of my being. My personality, my desires, my responses, my emotions, and my life experiences. They are the things that make me different from everyone else, that is my soul.
The soul that God gave me in my mother’s womb.
The soul that has been cultivated throughout my lifetime. That is me.
Let me instead bear my soul to you.
I am the type of person who gets frustrated when I can’t understand what to do or how to do it, especially when I’ve been working so hard on it.
I am always looking for the next project to be done, the next person who needs a friend, and the newest book to read.
I am a wife who has found her best friend and lover, but who sometimes fails to have the right reactions to problems that arise.
I am a mother who can’t seem to perfectly raise my children but, Lord knows, I am doing my best and I will never give up on them or myself.
I am a woman who loves her church and all the imperfect people inside it, although we sometimes need to talk and confront one another in love.
I love God so much that it scares me to become a leader to other Christians because my sinful nature could hurt my Savior.
In my blog, I want to not just show you the labels we give ourselves, but how our deeper soul interacts with God and His Scripture. I want to show you my flaws and my strengths, my encouragements, and my convictions.
I want to see you through a much deeper lens too. I don’t want to just know what you are, I want to know who you are.
I have several goals for this blog. First, I desire that this blog will help me to increase my own faith and bible knowledge. Secondly, to help you increase your faith and bible knowledge. Thirdly, to create a community that encourages and convicts each other in love. We all need a great Christian friend to walk with us through the hard seasons of life.
My last goal for this blog is that God can use the words written to touch hearts and transform lives. His Spirit is strong and looking for those wounded, scared, hurt, unhappy, unsatisfied, and even those who seem to have perfect lives because, in this broken world, that is all a lie. They need God too.
I hope that in every blog post I write you will be able to see a glimpse into my soul and the Spirit of my God. My soul is guided by His Spirit. My desire is to help your soul become stronger in your faith and more in love with God’s Spirit from each new post that He guides me to write.
About Me
I am a wife, a mother of three girls, a Christian, a PCOS warrior, a Zumba and kick-boxing lover, cat cuddler, real estate enthusiast, lover of all things vintage, avid book reader, always the optimist, constant project leader, Bible Counselor wannabe, etc… As life keeps going, my personality will keep growing!
But in all things, God is the one my heart desires and loves beyond measure, even if I am still a work in progress.
I am
