A feature of our town that I love most are the mountains. They fascinate me with the varied heights of the peaks, the textures, and shadows, and best of all the variety of colors from day to day and season to season.
I’ve looked up almost every morning and evening for more than a year hoping to see big horn sheep grazing. One early morning I saw movement. Way up at the top. I could see something white and it was definitely moving. Focusing my eyes on a landmark to remember, I ran to our bedroom to grab our binoculars.
Earlier sunrise. No filter.
It took me a minute or so to find my landmark and then focus the binoculars to that area. There was something up there for sure. To my disappointment it was not a big horn sheep, it was a man hiking in a brilliant white t-shirt. I watched him as he zigzagged his way quickly and carefully down a path.
I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions.
I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words.
In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community.
My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love!
I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups.
I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith...
Bold feet, humble heart
