Welcome! I am glad you are here!

 

Ever feel like you are kinda weird? Like you just don't fit in? I recall someone saying to me once, 'oh you must have been a popular cheerleader'- uh- no! I didn't make the cheerleading team (didn't like yelling) and I recall many awkward lunch times when I would walk into the cafeteria and not have a 'place' to sit- no one waving me over with a smile to come sit with them. Well, I AM SMILING AND INVITING YOU IN TO WALK this WHOLEHEARTED JOURNEY WITH ME.

  

I have walked an uncommon path, one of eight children on a family farm, working with our business in many capacities, going to college and leaving after my second year to pursue the Lord in a more intentional way through a Discipleship Training School with the Interdenominational "Youth With a Mission', finishing a B.A. in Family Studies at Messiah College, Volunteered with an Abstinence Education Program sharing my testimony of 'renewed virginity', Teaching Middle and High School Family & Consumer Sciences for 3 years, married my college-sweetheart and having 4 children ranging from 12-2, adventures (mostly unsucessful) in homeschooling, teaching ZUMBA dance fitness, designing a Princess Camp Curriculum to instill confidence, life skills, manners, etc. with my friend's makeup company (Prophetic Beauty), and so much more!

 

Need some refreshment and encouragement? While soaking in HIS presence should be FIRST, I invite you to visit me here and take a peak into the life of a fellow sister-in-Christ who has had many moments with Him in this 20+ year walk with Him and IN HIS WORD. I will share prayers I prayed and comfort/guidance that I received that I know will both encourage and challenge you to discern His voice in your own life. Some of my crazy stories might just let you see that He is not beyond using license plates, traffic lights, animals and nature to meet us where we are. Heck, He used a donkey to speak verbally in the Old Testament so in this better covenant we have now, we can be assured he is speaking. Verse: Don't despise He who is speaking.

 

Do you feel bound? Limited? Directionless or powerless? Been there, done that...and while I have come far from where I was, He is still conforming me into the image of His son and will be doing so til I breathe my last. And while I don't have all the answers, I am compassionate AND passionate about broken hearts being healed, captives being set free, the mourning comforted, the oil of gladness poured out on those who have risen from an ash heap and crowned with beauty. I want to see the spirit of despair crushed so that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. (Isaiah 61:1-2)

 

If you have never been prayed for or over before, please take a moment to listen to a prayer and keep me posted on how the Lord shows up in your life as a result. Because prayer is POWERFUL!
