I’m a stay-at-home mom by day, freelance writer and blogger by night, and non-profit consultant and volunteer somewhere in between My purpose in life is to glorify God in all I do and be a good steward of what has been entrusted to me. I’m never perfect in that endeavor, but I strive to make the balance tip more and more towards the “better” times.
