I have a passion for learning and teaching. I have a masters degree in Theology, as well as in Education. I am a former United Methodist Minister and missionary, where I won The Global Peace and Justice Scholarship from Saint Paul School of Theology for my mission work in Guatemala and Bolivia.

I am a writer, teacher and blogger. I live with my husband Dusty, in Western Oklahoma where we are raising our son who is a target-shooting, horse-riding freshman in college and our 16-year-old animal-loving, ball-playing daughter.

As a woman in the ministry, I have heard the voice of God clear at times but also wrestled with doubt and fear, especially when I heard these words: “You have to go. You have to serve the Church.”

These words were whispered in the stillness of the night by the Holy Spirit, and it began my lifelong journey of finding faith and always searching to remember God’s goodness.
