I was born in Newcastle, Wyoming, but graduated from Bellingham High School in Bellingham, Washington. I have been married to my husband Rob for 14 years. We have four beautiful daughters, Kylie, Taryn, Ciara, and Sophi. I am a fulltime mom and wife, and also homeschool our girls. My parents became Christians when I was in the fourth grade and so I became a "Christian", too. It wasn't until our first daughter was born that my relationship with Christ became real to me. And still, I'm a slow learner, it was another six years before I would give my life completely ove and decide to live my life FOR Christ, and not just allow Him in to the areas of my life that I wanted Him in! It is a daily challenge to let go of control and not live for myself, but God is changing me more everyday!
Favorite Verse
Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
