About the Author
I have a passion for knowing God’s Story… and my own personal story powerfully and meticulously woven into the tapestry of God’s story. My story is a rich and varied one. When viewed up-close, an apparent patchwork of disconnected experiences. But, when viewed from further away, and in the context of how counterintuitive… even comical… God’s ways are. My story is ordained from before time and a miracle in many, many ways. Just like yours!
I have a very eclectic background that has all contributed to, and coalesced, into the fulfillment of one dream: “I have a heart for the heart of the heart”.
