My calling in this life: to walk a closer walk with God, being the best wife and mother I can be. Most everything I do is focused on improving myself as a person in these three areas. If I am at my best with God then that will make me at my best in the other areas of my life.

I currently home-school 5/8 children, work a part-time job, and fulfill my duties as the caregiver in our home.

On any given day, you will find me in the kitchen preparing something for my children --a meal, a snack, refreshments-- something that will keep them healthy and happy for the long hot summer days and the shorter, drearier days of winter.

However, if I'm not preparing something in the kitchen, you will find me keeping my children entertained with crafts, playing outdoors (only on warmer days though), encouraging them to prioritize their walk with God and forever preparing them for this life. We are life-long students and devoted to God which, for us, means we are constantly learning about our faith and trying to help others.

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."

~Ephesians 4:2~
