About Me

Welcome! I am glad you stopped by!!! Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in a different country as a missionary? My desire is that this blog will be a blessing to you in your journey of life wherever it may take you as I share what I’ve learned!

Since returning in 2020 (prematurely as many of you would understand from the pandemic), I have continued working in missionary care and following Him wherever He leads me. Deep in my heart remains a desire for others to know God's Word deeply for themselves and to grow intimate with their Creator.

Now for a bit about my history … I became a full-time missionary in 2009 with my husband and four children. It brought me to live in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. Through the years, I have learned much about culture, living outside the U.S. and enlarged my worldview. Married for thirty plus years, I am also a home-schooling, stay-at-home mom who has experienced life outside the states with children in tow. I experienced the heart-ache of separation from friends and family. I learned how to successfully send my children to boarding school for their high school years in hopes of preparing them for their future shift back to the USA. I have loved people of another culture fully. I was forced to discover ways to care medically for my family in a place where medical care wasn’t what we were used to. I figured out how to not only survive but thrive in a culture not my own.

My unique perspectives have taught me much which I desire to share with you. May the insights God has given me bless you as you also travel this beautiful world He has given us! And may He draw you ever closer to Himself because you were here.

Here’s A Glimpse of Us …
