About me

I’m a busy, Christian mom to four sweet kiddos 6 and under. My husband and I have been together for over 10 years and own a business in our local community. I also have a Master degree in School Counseling and a passion for helping others activiate transformation through the power of Christ in their lives. I help encourage other moms to embrace their faith in the middle of their day-to-day parenting moments.

I remember what it was like before we found out we were pregnant for the first time. I knew exactly how I wold parent my future kids. In my mind, I was made to be a mom, so it would be easy and I’d always know what to do.

When we actually started trying to have our first baby, I realized pretty quickly that my plans for becoming a mom weren’t actually going to happen the way I pictured it.

I quickly realized just how much I would have to trust God and surrender my ideas and plans to Him in my motherhood journey.

From the moment our first child was born, I knew I was in over my head.

It is like Jean Thomason says in her book Sharing God’s Big Love with Little Lives, “I just wanted a baby, but I got a person! And now I am the one responsible for this person!”

I’ve fumbled my way through parenting my kids.

I’ve been overwhelmed with their constant neediness and demands some days.

I’ve wondered if I am screwing them up.

I’ve sat in my bathroom floor and asked God to help me because I just don’t know what to do as I try to steward the ones He’s entrusted to me well.

I’ve read tons of parenting books and stayed up all hours of the night looking for tips on Pinterest for my specific parenting needs.

I’ve seen the best of myself and my husband come out in our children’s personalities…..

and I’ve seen the worst of us come out too.

Through all of it I have learned that the only way to parent my kids from a place of joy and peace is moment by moment surrender to God.

I can’t control my kids. I can’t make them turn out how I want them to because they are living, breathing people born with their own free will.

What I can do is partner with God in this holy calling of raising them up to be kingdom-minded in a broken world.

So each day as I try to parent, I choose to remember that these little lives were entrusted to me and I choose to allow my faith and my relationship with God lead me as I try to raise up kingdom-minded kids.
