I guess it depends on who you ask...
To Scott, I am "Wife." And Friend, Confidante, Love of my life.
To Max, Sam, Emma and Aaron, I am "Mom." And (sometimes) Chauffeur, Housekeeper, Chef Extraordinaire, Nurse, Referee... But mostly just "Mom." To Katie and Kinzie, I am "bonus mom." (I love that role!)
To myself, I am "just me." Imperfect, terribly flawed and just doing my best to leave my mark in this world.
And not really my mark, so much as the imprint of my Savior.
Because to Him, I am: Redeemed, Loved, Gifted, Beautiful and Purposed.
If you want my credentials, here are those, but really, the most important thing you need to know about me is that I am a Daughter of the One, True King, surrendered to His purpose for my life and determined to speak out on His behalf:
Where I came from:
- I grew up in the little town of Greensburg, Kansas where I learned to love small-town values and dreamed some big-city dreams.
- I attended Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri and graduated with a degree in Biblical Literature and Music Ministry.
- In May of 2020 I finished a Master of Divinity degree through Abilene Christian University.
- In February of 2020 I joined the pastoral staff of Crossroads Christian Church as the Minister of Worship and Media Communications. My family and I attended that church from the fall of 2011 until February, 2025.
- In August of 2024, I stepped down from full-time ministry and began teaching Philosophy, Ethics, and Death & Dying at Hutchinson Community College. I fully relinquished my role as the Minister of Worship at Crossroads CC in February of 2025.
