In 2004, I had a choice to make, leaving her hometown of Phoenix, AZ, to move to Ft. Worth, TX, with Rick's job or stay in Arizona with him unemployed. There wasn't much of a choice. We moved to Ft. Worth with our two boys and two dogs. Now both boys are in college and on their own. We have three dogs (two the boys left us their dogs when they moved out), a cat, and a bearded dragon. I miss the summers in Phoenix and the dry heat.

One night in the house we were renting, I heard God tell me to write Bible studies for women. I tried to pull a Moses and explain why I was not good enough to do that and found an online study that allowed me to lead an online group in. Then in 2014, God used friends and other circumstances to write her own Bible study and started More Than Just Coffee. You know if it didn't work for Moses, it won't work for you, either. God doesn't take our excuses and will work on our hearts until we surrender to his will.

One of my early studies, Healing the Wounded Heart, is published on YouVersion and has helped over fifty-thousand people.



I am a member of Word Weavers International, as the president of an online group I have received encouragement and am constantly honing my skills. 



In 2016 I became the head admin for the Facebook group Network of Christian Women Bloggers and have written several articles for their magazine His Daughters' Letters.



 In 2017, my youngest son went on a mission trip to Rwanda working with Africa New Life. He fell in love with the people and the country. After his second trip, I became a mom/mentor to a young woman through Facebook. At twelve, she started raising her two younger sisters by herself. It has been amazing to see God at work in her life. She is training to be a worship leader. My two boys met her in 2019 and are planning on seeing her and her sisters in 2020 when they go back.
