I have been married now for twenty years, have homeschooled nine wonderful children and have the honor of enjoying three awesome granddaughters. The year I was married the Lord put on my heart to write an encouragement book for women, but lacking the courage and skills I tucked it away and only wrote thoughts in my journals. Now He is tugging at me again and I need to take courage and pursue this. With His help and all He has taken me through, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
