mother's day...


Mother's Day 2022. 

When I was going through high school & then college I was repeatedly asked what I wanted to be; what I wanted to do with my life. I had absolutely no idea. I was always at a loss. Career-wise, that is. "Maybe something having to do with art..." always led to the response, "You'll never make money with art. No, you need to major in business." 

Despite not knowing what I wanted to do for a career I could tell you with absolute certainty that I did NOT want to major in business. This led to me eventually dropping out of college. I worked in two retirement planning firms, a couple of temp jobs...nothing felt right. 

God ultimately revealed that what I was really meant to do with my life was be a mom. It may not have earned me a fortune. There may not have been opportunities for advancement. But it has been one of the greatest joys of my life. It is what I was born to do. I am thankful every day that God blessed me with Ashlyn & Landon. Through every season of parenting, both difficult & smooth, I have considered it an honor to be their mom.
