about

I’m a heart-on-her-sleeve, wisdom-seeking, swing dancing child of God. I’m also the military widow of a godly, fun-loving Lt Col in the Air Force & a young mom to the sweetest kids ever.

I was honored as an AFI Military Spouse of the Year in 2022. And I’m the multiple award-winning author of When Mountains Crumble: Rebuilding Your Life After Losing Someone You Love.

Join me as we learn to carry joy and sorrow in the same breath.

I help women find creative ways to draw near to the Lord.

I’ve suffered incredible loss, mental health crises, autoimmune disorders, chronic sleep deprivation. I’ve also suffered postpartum depression, spiritual oppression, debilitating fear, and more ridiculous trials than you really could imagine as we moved in the military.

Most recently, I lost my husband while he was hiking in the Sangre de Cristos.

And yet, I have still found the Lord to be faithful. It almost sounds outrageous and absurd to say such a thing, but it’s true. Even through all this, I’ve found Jesus has proven faithful.

I’ve learned to offer the excruciating sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise, even in the thickest of the storm. Through fasting and prayer with my husband before he died and with my friends, the Lord healed me, delivered me, and completely set me free.

I’m here to testify to the saving power of Jesus’ blood, His redemption, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the saving grace of surrendering all to a trustworthy God.

I’d say I’m a pretty darn good mix of everywhere we’ve lived together:

grounded Texas dirt,

refreshing Colorado streams,

and Florida’s life-giving gulf breeze.

Throw in a little vintage flair & some beijinhos and we’re golden.

I loved every moment married to that beautiful adventurous man— dancing, praying, and laughing together. We have two little girls who bubble over with joy, glitter, and really big love.

Yes. I’ve lived through heartache after heartache and refining fire after fire.

But that’s why everything I write is laced in

the power of prayer,

the intimacy of surrender,

and the hope of redemption.

I am a firm believer that-

the God of all hope will fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you can overflow in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).

Stick with me and as learn to trust more in the Lord, and you’ll experience God’s promises of peace and joy too.

I’m so glad you’re here!
