I’m a housewife, mother of three, military spouse, aspiring writer, Children’s Church Leader and a cuddly lap for one very cute cat! I might have dishes in my sink and laundry piling up in the hamper, but I have Christ in my heart. I hope to share the joy I have experienced knowing Him. And within the crazy, chaotic and often humorous day-to-day activities in my life, I hope to extract some Godly wisdom to share with you.
