Faith: I live that Christ might be glorified. That I may become less and He may become More.
Family and Friends: Oldest of seven and continuing to experience the joys of a family that believes, lives, works, and plays together.
Siblings: Josiah, Liberty, and Jacob
Friends are the family that you find along the way... There is no greater gift than one of friendship.
Work and Play: Currently I'm working for The American Vision, a Biblical Worldview Ministry that is dedicated to Exercising Servanthood Dominion. I also serve in other capacities for other ministries, including: JEMfriends, Biblical Worldview Learning Center, Covenant Academy, and Stanton Healthcare.
I also count it a joy to be actively involved in the community here on Homeschool ALUMNI. If you ever have any questions or suggestions for the community, please drop me a line!
I love to use words. Sometimes they are so inadquate, but other times they can paint pictures and change lives in ways that we never imagined possible.
My Dad and I have co-authored a book about establishing and maintaining Godly Father-Daughter relationships called Fathers and Daughters: Raising Polished Cornerstones.
If you want to know about my passion and *who* I desire to become...I encourage you to watch these short videos. They explain it far better than I ever could.
Snapshot of my life:
Depending on the day, you can find me being a speaker, author, event coordinator, mentor, administrative assistant, political and social activist, daughter, big sister, friend, avid traveler, and dreamer. In this season of my life, I have been especially blessed to work with ministries that are intentional about spreading the Good News and making a real difference- being the hands and feet of Jesus!
My life's dream is to be a dedicated and loving wife and stay-at-home mom. In the meantime, I am living out God's amazing plan for my life, which is better than any dream I've ever had...
I am passionate about motivating and inspiring young people to make a difference by engaging in the cultural struggles of today...by living every part of their life to the Glory of God. My generation must stand in the gap and rebuild the walls that have been broken down in our culture.
