Born in the Amazon jungles of Peru to missionary parents, I began life with a different perspective. Spanish was my first language. I learned about flushing toilets and air conditioning when I was seven. Living in south Georgia, I studied in English until I graduated. My adventures since then have included time in Alaska and Canada. Needless to say, I've enjoyed a broad range of climates over the years. Now, as a single mom, homeschooling three boys in Tennessee, I am enjoying a whole new set of adventures. We enjoy swimming, hiking, roller skating, and playing board games. I am grateful that God has healed me of so much over the years. My past does not define who I am or what my life is like. I am a living testimony of God's healing power--body, soul, and spirit. I hope my writing always brings glory to my Creator!
