I am in love with Jesus. He has rescued and redeemed me. I still have very far to go on this journey of redemption, but I am thankful for His grace and love. The more I know Him, the more I am in love with Him. I want to live my life as one that honors and glorifies Him since He is the reason I live in the first place. He has blessed me beyond measure. I hope I live life fully alive since He has made me so.
I am married to my best friend and first love, Brad. I met him when I was only 10 years old and fell in love with him when I was 15. We have been married for almost 18 years. We have four beautiful and amazing kids. Owen is 15, Wyatt is 13, Mason is 11 and little Chloe is 8. I am humbled so often that I have been given the priviledge to raise these souls for a time. They inspire and complete us.
I am an avid runner. I have been running since I was about 9 years old. Running is a huge part of who I am. Not because I am very fast or impressive at all. But, because it is part of my heart. I love to run. I get lost when I run. It often is a time spent talking to, listening to and sometimes battling with the Lord. It is a time when I find out more of who He has made me to be, what is really important and where my motives lie. Truth is revealed when I run. Sometimes it is not very attractive...sometimes it shocks me...sometimes I am grateful for understanding...it is always growth. The older I get, the more I want to run and run hard. I can spend hours lost in the woods running like a little girl. I enjoy long, hard miles on the pavement. I love to compete. I make an effort to find races and train to run them as best as I can. I know that it is a gift to love it and have the health to put one foot in front of the other. I will run as long as I am able.
So, this is me. Not all of me, but the biggest part. The parts that are important and make me whole.
