About/Contact Us



I am a story lover. Stories people share around the dinner table, listening to people in line at the grocery store, novels, dreams, testimonies, and children's books. I love them all.  As a child I did my fair share of daydreaming until my mother said I could no longer simply sit around and think. That's when I began to write. If I was writing it would look more like homework and I would be free to create characters and plots to my heart's content. 

Since those days of pen and lined paper I have graduated to a laptop, though I must say there is something almost magical about the pen and paper way of going about things.

Besides writing I occupy myself by being a companion for a friend in a wheelchair, teaching piano lessons, working on an English BA, and being involved in my church and community. 


Jesus is my best friend. I fail Him often. But He is faithful. 

 Through my writing I want to bring Him glory. God is the Creator and as His image-bearers we are given creativity and imagination. God is truth and as His image-bearers we are to be truthful. My desire is to praise Him and bless others through articles and novels.

Tell the truth beautifully ~ Andrew Peterson

I love music, bike rides, swimming, tea, black licorice, water, visiting random hole-in-the-wall type shops and restaurants, walks, the stars, and visiting friends and family. 

I also love hearing from you! So if you have any questions or ideas please leave a comment under the post.

Body Image (1)

Contentedly situated in lawn chairs with our toes in the sand and the baby playing on a blanket at our feet, my friend and I watch her girls digging holes or running between the beach and the lake. Periodically, the girls run up to us to display the shells and rocks they've found. At one point, as the girls surround us, one of us adults comments on the baby being chubby (which she is, as a baby should be) after which one of the girls looks at me and says, "you're kind of chubby." She wasn't trying to be rude or smart, she was just being bluntly observant as children are. As I looked at I her and considered an answer, I thought of the baggage of body image that women have carried for generations, and I thought, I don't want her to carry this baggage too. I want better for her.   I replied, "you know, being a little chubby is actually a good thing. Our bodies function better and it helps keep us warm." This deep lesson was probably lost on her as she s...

Surprise Sin

Over Easter weekend I had the opportunity to visit my grandparents. We caught up over soup and egg salad sandwiches and then migrated to the living room with cups of tea. Gradually the conversation turned to a couple young siblings from their church whom they've observed seldom fight. Sometimes these kids do get angry or annoyed with each other and then they fight, but that is not their normal relationship. My grandfather made this observation, "isn't that just like sin? You are living your life of obedience and then all of a sudden its like sin gets the better of you." It was a comforting statement coming from my elderly grandfather who has been walking with the Lord for over 80 years. Even as a seasoned saint, sin still creeps up on him. But it has also made me think quite a bit. Sometimes I am tempted to think that if I do everything right (regular devotions, get enough sleep, listen to good music, eat well, have Christian fellowship, exercise) then I won't fal...

Actually, I'm engaged

If you are a Christian you are part of the greatest love story every told to mankind. This story begins with God speaking and it ends with an "amen". It's found between the covers of this book called "The Bible" and if you haven't read it I suggest you begin immediately because you will be amazed at the love recorded there. If you are a Christian you are described as a member of God's church and if you are a member of His church you are also part of the Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5). You might say that Israel in the Old Testament was God's church and He made His love story very clear to them as well...though not because they deserved it. Song of Solomon tells the deep, intimate love of Christ for His church and the adoration of the church for Jesus; it's the story of how it should always be . Sadly, in a few books later we read a story that is heart wrenching. Ezekiel 16 is titled "The Lord's Faithless Bride" because this bride, t...
