2019 was not at all what I expected. When our pastor spoke 2019 to be a year of great joy for our family, I would never have imagined the journey these last 12 months would take us.
As I’ve been reminiscing the last couple days, it truly was a year of great joy!
Naturally, there were surprises – good and bad. There was sadness, frustration and pain. But there was also joy, laughter and clarity beyond understanding.
Here are the highlights of the

As we begin a new year and a new decade, I’m expectant. Phenomenal things have happened these past 10 years in addition to the lowest of the low. But the Lord has done some insane & unexpected things in my life these last 10 years. More than I could have ever imagined. I’m thankful, challenged & blessed.
