She loves Jesus and has found her life, purpose, hope, and healing in Him. She hopes to encourage other women who have felt rejected, abandoned, and like their shame defines them to know that Jesus truly can revive their life. She wants to share the truth of His amazing love that sets us free. She enjoys writing, the mountains, fall, warm coffee (or tea), and most of all, being with her family.
