Tell us a little about yourself. I am a 6th grade Math and Science teacher. Teaching and writing are my passions. I am married to the most wonderful man. We enjoy outdoor activities, and have a dog named Molly.
What was your motivation behind this project? When I wrote A Beautiful Season, I was hurting and looking for healing. As I began to realize that Jesus was my only hope, I reached for His hand, and He became my Savior. Writing was form of spiritual self-therapy; a place where I felt closest to the Lord. I experienced a newfound confidence and joy in seeking Jesus while being single. My confidence from the Lord enabled me to reach out and become involved in my church. As I formed meaningful friendships with Christian women, I became the best version of myself in and through Jesus.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? My initial prayer for the book was that God would be able to use it as a vessel of light to women living in darkness; struggling, and hurting after a dating relationshipsÂ’ end. I hope that young women will seek the Lord through this time, having ears to hear, and hands willing to obey; always being hopeful in the timing of God's plans.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Ladies, cling tight to your Bibles, and stick to your guns. When it comes to waiting and dating, stay strong and true to your spiritual values. Take deliberate steps of action to guard your heart and mind. Remain faithful in waiting, surrounding yourself with women who will encourage, and bring out the Jesus in you.
