My Family
My family is made up of his-mine-ours, but we consider them all ours.
There's my wonderful, Godly husband Greg, who works in the transportation industry. Due to an incident in November 2015, Greg is now a paraplegic but doing well. He was shot in the back during an attempted armed robbery in a rest stop coming home from a Thanksgiving family trip.
Son Sam is 28, has autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. It's a struggle, but also one with blessings -- often disguised -- but blessings nonetheless. I love to see Sam with his hand raised in worship during a praise song in church. In an incredible success, Sam lives on his own with his two cats. I'm so proud of his independence--and so is he!
Son Jacob, 25, is married to a wonderful woman, Allyssa. They live near Baltimore with their two cats and work full-time. We talk a good bit but I miss them both.
Ellison, 24, is married to Justin, who is in the Navy. They live in Virginia at the moment, so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like, but I'm proud of them (and miss them, too!).
Laura, 12 years old, is a beautiful pre-teen hurdling toward her teenage years. She loves Jesus, watching YouTubers, and her cat, Oreo. She is homeschooled.
I'm a Christian wife, mom, author, and content creator who also practices suburban homesteading by doing some serious gardening, raising chickens, preserving food through canning, freeing, and dehydrating. I homeschool Laura and take care of Sam and Greg.
The incident in which Greg was paralyzed has kicked up an ancient bout of PTSD related to previous domestic violence with my ex, so that's a struggle. Laura gets her migraines from my side of the family; I've been diagnosed with about six different kinds. I also have autoimmune diseases. These things play a huge part in who I am and what I do; but this I know: God is sovereign.
We have five cats, a very large dog named Katie who's a mix of Great Pyrenees, Karakachan and mareema -- all giant livestock herding breeds, six chickens and a duck. I never knew how boring my life was until I got a duck.
I hope that you will find encouragement in this blogsite. If you are interested in me speaking on Christ's peace, power, provision, and sovereignty despite hardship, stress, overwhelming struggles, or homeschooling, please visit here.
May God bless you richly as you explore this site!
