me

 I am a mess. A beautiful, simple mess. I cling to Grace. Each day I discover more of my immeasurable need of Him.

 I want more. More of my Heart. More of who I was Created to be. I want to love with His Love. I want to pour it out.

 3 Boys...  I am a single mother, a teacher, and an explorer. I spend my days washing away yesterday's adventures, kissing scraped body parts, and praying I don't miss one second. Not one fragment. They are my love, my joy, and my humility.

2 Girls... Continents away, living in Kenya and Dominican Republic. Each born of another womb, children of my heart. They are the girls I always knew I would love, I just didn't know how they would come to be part of our family. Thanks to the wonderful ministry of Compassion International, they are.

I adore photography. A moment frozen... like holding your breath and never having to let go. The one way I find comfort in their relentless growth.

I love adventure. Long for the air of the outdoors. To Breathe Him in and feel the Warmth of Him on my face, the touch of His Breath on my cheek. To live. To run. Wild and free. Fully.

I love food (gluten-free by necessity). It is my freedom of speech. My favorite place is barefoot in the kitchen, creating, writing recipes. My love of food and words has birthed a new series of projects. The first, "lovelycrumbs: A Gluten-Free Cupcake Obsession" will be available, Lord willing, May 2013.

I am filled with words. They spill out of me like waves rushing to the shore. And whatever else I am or will be, I will always be a writer. I was woven together in Words and I will never be without them. They are like breath and food. The fire that warms my soul when nothing else can move it.

I am a Compassion Advocate and blogger. We must speak for those that are in need. To advocate for all of God's children. And most importantly share with them the wild love of Jesus. It is a passion of my heart, a calling.

I hope you’ll grow, laugh, learn, eat, and sometimes cry with me. May you find what you need each time you visit.  Lets walk a while together.

 It's the tiny bits of Grace that carry us, the Relentless Pursuit of our fragile hearts.

 For everything is Grace.
 
           Here are my lovelycrumbs...
                                                         Thanks for visiting,

I would be honored if you'd share my crumbs for His Glory...
