I am blessed beyond comprehension, but life has not turned out the way I dreamed it would be!

• I lost my mom to cancer when I was 21
• many of our children have food allergies & medical/special needs from mitochondrial disorders & immune deficiencies
• our 5th child died 88-minutes after his birth in 2011
• I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Sarcoidosis in 2012.

Through it all

• I have been led to the feet of Jesus where He has faithfully reminded me of my blessings & wiped away my tears, brought joy & purpose to my life, & given me new strength to stand… over & over again.

Meet my family!
