School shopping √ […]

My hardened shell covered insecurities. xx Through God’s […]

[Tweet “Do you have to lose your life to find it?”] Some of my childhood memories of family nights, consisting watching a 19 in black and white TV with only 4 channels!

Hi, I’m Cindy- 35 years of “livin” with my prince charming, Jeff. I’m a home maker, not a house wife, parent of 7, memory maker, mama bear, Nana to 11 & counting, Pastor’s wife and I’m daily amazed by the depths of God’s love.

I love reading, home schooling, encouraging others, playing the piano, worshiping, dating my husband, and planning parties and retreats for our clan. Someday, I really want a horse and learn to play the cello and viola.
