Meet Heather

Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I am so glad you are here! I am a wife to one wonderful man, a mother to three little blessings, and a daughter of the most high King! I strive to glorify my God in all that I do, whether it be changing stinky diapers (which seems never ending!) or sharing the life changing message of the gospel. Every moment of everyday is a gift given to me from His hand that is for His glory and my good. Beautiful easy moments and really challenging difficult moments are all from Him. He is working through it all to make more like His Son Jesus, so I welcome them. I believe I can face anything and everything because of the hope I have in Christ and the grace of God's spirit working within me. I can do NOTHING apart from Him. I am a great sinner who has a Great Savior, and I trust in His work on my behalf.

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe."  Ephesians 1:18-19a


A little peak into my story

I grew up in a small town and went to a big church that preached the gospel faithfully. I definitely had a good foundation of the things of the Lord at a young age, but it took a while before truth took root and changed me inside and out. I was really good at talking like a Christian and claiming to be a Christian, but inside I was as lost as I could be! I had dark days of rebellion in college and threw caution to the wind. I lived for myself and for my selfish desires.  But God had a greater plan for me than living for things that promised happiness, but never delivered.  Through His kind providence in my life he led amazing people to me to show me something, SOMEONE greater! I was told that I had to die to myself and live this life with Christ in control. So in my college apartment I died, and then came to life in Christ. I praise God everyday for His work in me and that He didn't let me continue living for things that will never satisfy. 


"For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ." Colossians 3:3


All This From His Hand

As I said earlier, I am a wife and a momma! God has blessed me with a wonderful husband who loves the Lord more than me (something I am so thankful for!) and is just perfect for me in so many ways. We met while serving the Lord on a summer mission trip in Santa Cruz, CA. One year later (almost exactly!) we were married and dedicated to glorify God together in our marriage. We have had our ups and downs, but God's grace and kindness to us is abundantly clear! Three years into marriage (again, almost exactly!) we welcomed our first little kiddo, and now have 3 little blessings. I affectionately call them my "little sanctification machines," as God has used them more than just about anything else in my life to strip away things and make me more like Jesus. Patience, grace, mercy, love, love, and more love I have learned with these 3! Our days at home together have rewards and challenges, but I know the good, bad, and ugly of this life are from His hand, and for a glorious purpose!


"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
