From Alabama to Colorado to North Carolina, a place I would have never thought I’d be. But here I am 16+ years later with my husband and 2 Colorado born kiddos. At first, I did not like leaving everything and everyone I knew to come to a place that I knew nothing about and I knew not a soul. When we follow God, we know firsthand from personal experience that His ways and thoughts are on a whole new level.

Moving to the Rocky Mountains was one of the best things God did for me, my walk with Him, my marriage, and kids. Over the years I have had to learn what resting in God truly looked like, how to stop “doing” in my own strength, and how to walk in the freedom that comes from trusting God’s will, His plan, and who He created me to be. If that was not enough, I have had to walk some dark and lonely roads, learn some painful lessons, forgive, ask for forgiveness, obey, die to this flesh HARD, and leave the rest to the Lord.

Much of my process has not been easy but I would not trade it for anything. It is my heart’s desire to see everyone experience God's rest in every area of their lives. It is pure joy I get when someone comprehends the beauty and blessing of rest that paves the road for God's grace, power, and freedom. This is the assignment that the Father gave me sitting in the carpool line for pick-up at my children’s school and I have grown so much since then. You will learn more of my story when you subscribe for my content and updates. My process and journey are not over, and I don’t proclaim to be an expert. But what I will say is that I love my Jesus like crazy. My heart is for anyone who has an ear to hear to experience God's REST.
