Happy Mother's Day!

I Promise to Hold Your Hand

You entered this world and your tiny wrinkly fingers curled around my own

In that simple gesture, you gave me your trust and I promised to hold your hand, forevermore

Through first steps and new adventures

Through sprinklers and mud puddles

As you become conscious of your beautifully perfect, God-formed body

Through achievements and wrong turns

Through new love and heartbreak

As you learn about Christ and walk into His water

Through finding the one and becoming his bride

As you welcome your very own miracle of life 

And although I promise to hold your hand through every step of life, I know that one day you'll be the one holding my hand

Through wrinkles and loss

Through aches and change

As I enter into His glorious gates

Your hand now rests in God's

He will hold you, guide you, love you, delight in you

And on the day you join the angels in Heaven, you'll find me waiting to hold your hand, once more, forevermore

​Welcome, Friend!


​​I'm so happy you're here! You are a beloved child of God with a meaningful story to tell and a calling to answer. I pray that while you visit my little corner of the world you discover that there is hope in the midst of your struggles, and it's found in the Scriptures. 

I'm a military wife, homeschooling mama, author, and nationally recognized educator whose deepest desire is to help you cultivate a loving relationship with Jesus.
