I am a reluctant risk taker. I like to play it safe, but ten years ago I took the biggest risk of my life. After finding pornography on our home computer, I said no more. That decision lead me on a path of great sorrow and great joy. A path chock-full of unknowns, divorce, healing, and more risks than this introvert wanted to take.

One of those risks was taking a job at my church where I serve as our Director of Women’s Ministry. Talk about a learning curve. After being a stay-at-home mom for ten years, I had to reorient my brain, wear real clothes, and put on makeup.

I enjoy playing board games, deep conversations, Sunday afternoon naps, and a giant scoop of peanut butter with dark chocolate on top. College-aged twins and a dopey black lab fill my little corner of the world in North Carolina.
