A Leap of Faith...the Journey Continues

In 2011, I took a Leap of Faith and journeyed to Sierra Leone, Africa. My husband followed six months later, and this mission work revealed a bigger purpose in our lives. We continue to love this home away from home...and the journey continues. I'm excited to share this with my mom, daughter, and nephew. I can't wait to see what God has in store for all of us!

Chris and I have been happily married for 16 years. We have a 13 year old daughter, Ella, and a 9 year old son, Andrew. I am an Elementary Principal with Metro-Nashville Public Schools, and Chris is a Director of Operations with Cigna-Healthspring. We thank God for our many blessings and want to live a life committed to doing his work! I know that God has great things in store for our family, and he is continually revealing that to us...like a polaroid picture!

Quotes to Live By

"We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love."-Mother Teresa

"Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God."-Bob Pierce, founder of World Vision

"For I was hungry, while you had all you needed. I was thirsty, but you drank bottled water. I was a stranger, and you wanted me deported. I needed clothes, but you needed more clothes. I was sick, and you pointed out the behaviors that led to my sickness. I was in prison, and you said I was getting what I deserved." Richard Stearns version of Daniel 7: 13-14


"Stillness of soul is increasingly rare in this world addicted to speed and noise. I am pleased with your desire to create a quiet space where you and I can meet." -Sarah Young, author of Jesus Calling
