About me

Occupation Loved and Delighted in Child of God, wife to a steady rock of a man, full time mom to three creative, talkative, WILD, often dirty kids!
Introduction This blog is my attempt to "exploit my weakness for the glory of God," as my favorite pastor, John Piper, puts it. We all have weaknesses, some more severe than others. And in those weaknesses God is delighted and most able to put his strength, love, and power on display. For my family, mental illness is the weakness we wrestle with each day. And I want to trust God to do mighty things in our hearts and lives as we watch him to be strong where we are weak. I want to put him on display. And the best way to do it is through our weakness. So this blog is my little spot in the world to process how God is encouraging and upholding our family in our battle with mental illness. Hopefully along the way, others with these same weaknesses will be encouraged and strengthened as well! To God be all the glory!!
Interests I enjoy writing, drinking coffee with my friends, creating beauty through gardening and home design, long conversations with my husband...we are both talkers!!!, and cooking spicy Chinese food! Yum!
