I love books. As a school librarian, I get to share books with kids all day. Then I come home and write.

As a follower of Jesus, my goal is to share stories that not only entertain readers but also bring glory to Him.

I'm a fan of trees, cardigans, Alaska, and the Houston Rockets. ...more

I'm Debt Free!!

I realized I never blogged about being debt free! I gave my testimony of what God did on my journey to becoming debt free at church, so I'm just going to copy and paste it here. Maybe it will encourage someone on their journey. (Feel free to reach out if you want to talk while you work to becoming debt free.)
Sorry there are no pictures or anything to break up the long text. :)

This book is well written and shares the author’s story in a way that respects and honors her siblings, which I admire. It also reminded me why I don’t follow social media accounts that use their children for content.

Quotes by Laura Jackson (?)

“He grabbed her hand and pointed her finger to the stars that filled the sky. “That’s you. Life is dark, but you’re going to keep shining. You can’t see how bright you are in your dark situation, but if you step outside of the pain, you would see what I see.” “What”
― Laura Jackson, Worth the Wait
