Now about myself – I am first and foremost, a Christ follower. He was so good to bring me into His kingdom at the young age of twenty, and then to save my husband a few months later. Ever since then, He has been everything the Scriptures describe Him to be to us – fiercely loving, ever faithful and abounding in mercy. I am secondly a wife. I am very blessed to be married to a man who has a strong frame and faith in Christ. I am thirdly a mother and stepmother, and what a joyous calling this is! We have five children, all beautiful and wonderfully made in their own ways (Psalm 139:14). My joys include teaching my little brood at home, reading the classics, and watching true crime documentaries! Yes, I know – odd combination. I am a newly published author. I am the author of a children’s picture book, “What can I do for you, God?”, published by Westbow Press.

My purpose for this blog is simple, to challenge and encourage other mothers and wives in their calling to be helpmates to their husbands and teachers to their children. Our children are like arrows in our hands (Psalm 127), to shape and sharpen for His glory. Let us be good stewards of all we have been given!
