I am a beloved child of God. I know and love Him. I pray for trust in His holy will. Since God knows the depths of my heart, I hope He sees my progress toward Heaven.

I am a happy wife. Robbie would say he loves the warmth in my eyes and is grateful we may journey through life together. He would lament that I am hard headed and never wash and dry our good knives immediately after using them.

I am a mother blessed with four wonderful children. My vocation is love, and I love each of them – No Matter What! They know that I expect a lot from them, since to whom much is given, much is expected. I hope they would tell you that I urge them to follow the Golden Rule, love one another, and have faith.

I am a daughter and a sister who aims to love well.

I am a friend blessed with rich, authentic relationships with women with hearts so big and beautiful that they model the attributes of selflessness, inner beauty, and faith.

I am a lover of words. I relish the gift of an impromptu family dance party and sing-along in the kitchen. It brings me joy to nourish my family and friends with carefully prepared meals, or to arrange a vase of flowers freshly cut from our backyard garden. I love snuggling my cute puppy in our favorite chair, or piling onto our furniture for family movie night. I delight in the comfort that comes from holding a hot mug of cream and sugar (with a little coffee) or a cup of tea. I love sharing my heart’s highs and lows on long walks with those dear to me, and I fully recognize the gift of shared trust.

Now, I am an author. God’s ways are mysterious and great are His blessings. May my debut title, “Hope Upon Impact: A Miraculous True Story of Faith, Love & God’s Goodness” touch your heart and encourage you – no matter what life brings your way.

Have faith. Hope on! God is good.

Wishing you every blessing,

Julie
