About me

Gender Female
Location Midwest, United States
Introduction I'm a knitting farm girl who loves to worship Jesus! Growing up on a farm in the midwest, I chose to earn a bachelor's degree in agriculture from a Big 10 university. I've recently re-entered the full time work force after a long run on the "mommy track". Happily married with some pretty cool grown up kids who we homeschooled through 8th grade, hopefully I can be an encouragement to homeschool moms and single income families. I have a desire to encourage anyone I come in contact with to continue to grow in their relationship with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Through much of this time I battled mild to moderate depression and anxiety, and have come out victoriously on the other side.

You're going to the moon! What did you forget to pack?

It definitly wouldn't be my knitting. I would be more likely to forget my cell phone.
