Grateful to Announce…

This is me.

Me Florida

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m a wife.

Michael and Me kaboda

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a mom of four kooky kids.

Kids

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m also a writer.

I’ve written three books with my friend, Tricia Goyer. That was really fun.

Lonesome Prairie

Victory Heights (greater fading)

Summerside Glacier Bay

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, I died–my husband and kids almost lost me–but God brought me back.

CA 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I healed, Jesus taught me many heart-transforming truths about the beauty of life and especially love. Love like there’s no tomorrow.

Loving the Kids

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to encourage others with these precious truths, so I started writing them down.

Fountain Pen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It wasn’t easy. I wrote not only about the wonderful new truths, but about painful wounds from my past.

I didn’t know what God would do with these words that erupted from my pain and joy and love. I offer them to Him.

And then…

God surprised me with this!

It’s not just my story. It’s also my family’s story. What would I do without them?

I’m so thankful to all of you who have traveled with us through this incredible journey, so far. It’s only the beginning… We’re excited to see where God will lead us, but we know one thing for sure. He loves us like there’s no tomorrow.

And he loves you, too.

I’d sure appreciate your prayers as I finish up the book and we go through the launching process! If you’re interested in joining a launch team, let me know!
