“In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.” ~ C.S. Lewis

The sunflower is my spiritual metaphor. Did you know during the sunflower’s bud stage it tracks the sun’s daily movement across the sky? As the flower follows the sun, so I view my purpose in life to follow God’s Son, Jesus. I am an imperfect Son-follower learning to enjoy the grace of Jesus and on mission to nurture others to enjoy it, also — especially the one who thinks she shouldn’t.

I am happily-mostly-aftered to my hero of nineteen years and am a homeschooling mama to two crazy-wonderful kids in Michigan. I’ve written for (in)courage, Breathe Christian Writers Conference, and Keys for Kids.
