Hello and Welcome!

I am a Christian...I love Jesus and have much to share about how He is changing me to be more like Him.

I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. Not unlike many of you...gender aside. God has blessed me with my son, and subsequently has used him to provide me with knowledge of God, the Father. I'll be sharing lots of analogies based on this beautiful blessing God has given me and my husband.

I am a teacher...I have been blessed with this gift in all areas of my life. You'll most certainly read more about this in future posts. But simply, professionally, I develop and manage learning experiences, personally I teach in every role I play, and spiritually as God allows.

I am an optimist...I believe that there is a reason for everything and finding the silver lining in every situation is a choice we make.

I am not perfect and have made mistakes.
Being a student as well as a teacher, I distill the lesson learned in hopes of not repeating it and saving others from doing the same.

Why a Blog?
I have been planning on creating a blog for a very long time, and like many things in my life, I have postponed and procrastinated. So what's changed? I am tired of pressing the "pause" button on aspects of my life that God is pressing the "play" button. So I figured New Year's Day would be a great time to start. Not sure where this is going to lead me, but I know this is one of the things God has been nudging me to do for a while...a long while. I'll be sharing why I haven't in later posts that might help you take action on those nudges you have been ignoring from God.

What's your "pause" button? Think about it...and share if you'd like below.


Why You?
I believe in community and teaching each other about life's lessons or developing a channel or platform to share and encourage each other to find God's customized path for us.
