My Journey

Writing is my happy place. My journey in writing began when I was just 8 years old. At that time, I was given a diary for a Christmas gift from a friend in Grade 3. That opened up something that had been stored within me. Journalling throughout the years has helped anchor me in the storms of this life. And it always pointed me back to my Source and the Mender of broken hearts...my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

My Life

Jesus, family, ministry, homeschooling, adoption, special needs, health, beauty...I have had experience or interest in all of these at some point in my life! I am happy to share all of the tips, insights, encouragement...and mistakes!...from my life's experiences with you all!

Next to Jesus, my husband and children are my dearest treasures in life. I wouldn't be where or who I am today without their love, encouragement, and support.

"We may never fully understand why things happen to us on this side of eternity, but if we could only see the end from the beginning and what the Lord sees, we would rest in His perfect will."

"No matter what your circumstance may be, know that the Lord is there, waiting and able, to solve your problem. Give your burden over to the Master, and before long you will see that He carried you through it all."
