It is my desire first and foremost to honor and exalt my Savior. A worshiper of the One True God, I sing, write, teach, and speak. But those are only part of worship. Worship is something that happens in every moment of life... it's the overflow of a heart that adores and seeks to honor and exalt the One who has transformed her life. That overflow seeps into in every part of life. I've often been called a pondering woman, passionate and thoughtful. I see Him everywhere. I hear Him in the big things and in the small details. I desire to encourage noticing God. It'll sure make you ponder! So, in short....sharing His Word and the thoughts pondered in the journey of recognizing and knowing Him more is something I am compelled to do. My desire is to encourage and strengthen others in the Lord through the truth of God's precious Word in the dailiness life. In doing so, I pray that more than the dailiness will be pondered. Eternal perspective...it changes everything!
A bit about me that has brought me to this place... My most favorite joy and blessing in life is being the mother of two precious daughters. I've been blessed to be home with them for so many years. I returned to school late in life and I recently completed a Bachelors in Religion, with minors in Biblical Studies & Church Ministries, and special interests in Worship Studies and Judaic Studies. I love to travel... give me sun, sand and surf any day! I've been known to retreat to such at a moments notice. I started a travel business in and have enjoyed seeing more of the world in the last 5 years than all my years prior. I've been amazed at how He has used it and what He has taught me through this area. My favorite place...Israel and I aspire to one day be fluent in Hebrew. Travel will no doubt be referred to in my writing. I went on staff at my home church in 2011... I love serving in ministry. Still trying to balance these areas.
I've facilitated and taught Bible study for many years. Over those years the Lord has also used me to speak, provide special music or lead worship for women's events at area churches. I'm amazed at His works. I've often refered to myself as a writer and songwriter in hiding.... However, that may be about to change. Others have been increasingly surprising me in agreement and encouragement to share more publicly.
So... here I am!
