A Texas Girl...

I am a Texas girl, born in the '60s and bred in the '70s!  I grew up in a small central Texas town that loved its high school football and in the Fall under the Friday night lights is where you would find our town cheering the team on to victory.  The 70s had some of the greatest music of all time along with a unique style all our own of hip-huggers, hot-pants, bell-bottoms, colorful pantsuits, and Farrah Fawcett & Dorothy Hamill haircuts. We roller-skated to disco, danced to country music, sang with Donnie Osmond, and gathered at the drive-in movie theater on weekends.  My first car was a sporty 5-speed yellow Pinto which daily lived up to her lemon color and always kept me in fear of a rear-end explosion (google it).  But she was fast and loud... and I loved her! 

I love the Texas sun and being outdoors running, biking, walking, hiking, skiing, and watching sunsets on the porch.  Being in God's creation breathes life into my soul.  I live in t-shirts and flip-flops and my favorite foods are Tex-Mex, Chips & Salsa, and Diet Coke... of course! 

I am a "creative" that loves exploring new ideas, experiencing new places, meeting people, and hearing their stories. Hospitality runs through my blood thanks to my Grandmother who was the greatest servant I know and exampled to me what serving and taking care of others look like. She also had a "gift" of storytelling!

My passion now is reaching brokenhearted women and saying... COME  as you are... ALL are welcome to the table... YOU are loved!

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOUR STORY!

I have heard many stories of pain and heartbreak that women secretly carry deep inside that often leave them numb, disconnected, and standing at the edge of a cliff. I walked along the edge of that same cliff for many years feeling unseen and unknown by those around me, fearing rejection if they knew who I really was.  My heart lived in exile convinced God had turned away and would never see or love a girl like me. 

His name is "El-Roi" ~The God Who Sees Me~ and my story is about what God can do to a human heart shattered and tethered to the many hidden secrets of a painful past.  I am not the same as I was. I have been changed by the One who sees, pursues, heals, and loves me more than my human heart could ever understand or know.  God brought me out of exile and set me free to share my story -- a story of how the pain and grief of abuse, abortion, and loss impacted my life and the miracles Jesus did to redeem the shattered pieces of a broken and fragile heart.  

My joy is to speak life back into the broken hearts of women and bring a message that Jesus still works miracles today!  Our stories resonate and bring hope to women saying, "you are not alone", and it is here, together in community that we can begin to heal.  Hearts in exile back will feel safe to enter into authentic relationships with others and with the One who created her, desires her, and loves her more than she knows.
