Faith

Life hasn't always been easy or happy, but there have been so many overwhelming and powerful moments of joy that have only been possible because of my faith.

Since we all struggle I share stories when I'm able that I hope encourage others and help carry you through hard times.  Because of Jesus there is always hope.

While I really focus on sharing recipes here on my website when people want to know more about me, the recipe creator you can come here for some more depth and inspiration.
