I am a wife and mother who is passionate about Jesus and about simplifying things so that others may see Him in this crazy world we live in. God is teaching me what it means to grow where I am planted... to really live for Him. This blog is just a collection of my ramblings along this journey. We all struggle. We all have weaknesses. My desire is that this will be a place of transparency in a world that makes us think we need to be perfect. Here is a little of my story...

1 Timothy 1:16 says, "...I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life."

We all have a story.

After 37 years, I have finally come to the realization that God has given me a story to tell. Although I have made my own choices down the path of life, He has always known what those choices were going to be. My testimony is a GIFT that He wants to use as a blessing and encouragement to others. The place where I am "planted" is a true miracle, a clear example of what God can do in a life.

Why "grow where you're planted"? God does not want us to "run" to try and find greener grass. If we are living for Him, within His will, we are to allow Him to use us right where we are. There was a time in my life when I thought I could find greener grass, and God set me straight. The goal for this blog is to be a continuous story of how we can grow and be used exactly where we are at any given time.

Again, we all have a story...
