About the Author

My motto in life is to have fun. I believe God created us to live life to full—which to me means— to soak in the beauty of every sunset, delight in the giggles of my children, and splash into the deep end of the activity before me.

I met my prince charming in high school drama class, he woo-ed me with poetry and pursued me until I said yes. He is the superhero dad to our four children and the calm to my crazy. Our couple superpower is supporting each other’s dreams to the bitter (and sweet) end.

I’m not a neutral kind of person–vibrant colors go best on me, and one of my friends has described me as a pen of many colors. You can find me serving tea (or wine) in my cabin in the woods of Northern Calfornia, to anyone and everyone who finds themself at my table for rousing and thoughtful conversations.

My writing journey began in the fourth grade when my teacher read my adjective-infused story aloud to the superintendent. I was hooked. I discovered journalism in high school with delightful Bruce who let me sneak off campus for donuts and gave me behind-the-scenes access to everything with my press pass. I learned some more at Azusa Pacific University and put my skills to work at a small-town publication in Pasadena. Then I told God that I wasn’t meant to be a writer, but a baker and extravagant hospitality giver.

With many tears, I answered the call God set before me to endeavor to write a book. I questioned Him many times if I heard Him correctly. But here we are, to the detriment of my housekeeping, the book he gave me to write is available to anyone who needs its message.

I pray you find the message of hope uplifting to your soul. My mother-in-law asked me to write down her story where she met the God who sees her.

God is absolutely in control of every single detail of your life. Will you entrust him to handle those details and stop worrying or trying to take control? Do you believe God can redeem anything, including diarrhea?
