Where pages carry more than words


Once upon a time, I was a third-grade teacher juggling lesson plans and sticky notes — and before that, a missionary, a filmmaker, a church staffer… and somewhere in the middle, a woman quietly holding a thousand stories in her heart.

I spent years helping build ministries, championing others’ dreams, and showing up where I was needed. It was meaningful work — and I don’t regret it. I am grateful for those seasons. But somewhere along the way, I realized I’d quieted my own voice.

Then came the ache.
An ache that whispered: There’s more to your story than this.

It showed up in a children’s story that made grown-ups cry.
In a whisper from the Lord: “Why are you hiding who I made you to be?”
And in the unshakable joy I felt when I picked up a pen again and met God on the page.

I left the classroom — again. I stepped away from roles that no longer fit and returned to the calling that never left. I wasn’t chasing success — I was chasing joy.
And the God who still meets me in the quiet of the page.

I write for the ones who need to know God hasn’t forgotten them — for the weary hearts, the almost-quitters, the ones still longing for something sacred, even if they’re not sure where to find it anymore.

I write stories hoping God’s kindness and love will break through the pages for kids and adults alike — that each one would know they are deeply loved, fully seen, and tenderly held by a very good God.

And maybe, just maybe, that knowing would awaken who they truly are — and free them to live bravely, reflect His goodness, and carry His story into the world.
