How do you even begin to share all of your experiences in 800 words or less? You can't ... which is why I'm writing a book. 😏

 

Suffice it to say, I've lived a lot of life. I've done some crazy, unique things and I've endured a lot of pain. Looking back on my life I can see how God was there for ALL of it,  even though for most of my life I wasn't seeking him. 

​

Motherhood is what brought me closer to God.

 

​I had my first daughter at the ripe age of 30, and while nursing her one night, I felt God's love for me for the first time. It was so palpable - how had I missed  it before?! As I sat there loving my own child, I finally understood how much I was adored by my heavenly Father. 

 

This is why I feel so passionate about supporting moms. Motherhood is a critical time of life – for us and for our kids – but because it's a grueling and often thankless job, we often become bogged down by the demands of life and begrudge the journey. Unfortunately this causes us to miss the many spiritual moments God is trying to teach us! 

 

That said, everyone's journey is different. 

 

You can't visit the inner jungles of Tana Toraja (as I have!) without realizing how seemingly different yet connected we all are. Every mother has a unique quality she adds to her parenting, and I believe that if each mom works toward love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, we will find there's a lot more uniting our motherhood than separating us.

 

So wherever you're at today, welcome.

 

This is a safe space for you, and I'm so glad you're here. I sincerely hope we get to know each other as we adventure on this crazy journey of motherhood, life, and faith.
