My Story

Before I was a published author and a speaker, I was a wife to a man with a very public career and a mom to three energetic, curious, growing boys—doing my best to build a life of peace and presence in the midst of a world that rarely slowed down. I’ve moved 33 times, across cities, countries, and cultures. Never a dull moment—but always an opportunity to see how God meets us in the unexpected.

Before I was writing about faith, I was living it—sometimes boldly, often quietly, always with a deep longing to find God not just in the sanctuary, but in the school pickup line, the kitchen sink moments, and the deep conversations after bedtime. My journey has taken me from the firm roots of Calvinism, through the beauty of Anglican tradition, and into the richness of Roman Catholicism. Each season has formed me, widened my view, and deepened my trust in God’s grace.

Before I had a book to offer the world, I had journals filled with scribbles, prayers whispered in the dark, and reflections shared with the people I love. I’ve always had a yearning to learn, and just as deeply, a yearning to share—to offer what I’ve found to anyone searching for a glimpse of God in their own story.

Now, I write and speak to create spaces of welcome—places where faith feels less like a formula and more like a shared table. I believe God is not just found in the grand and miraculous, but in the daily and the ordinary: a quiet morning, a shared meal, a deep breath. And I believe He’s always inviting us closer.
