I’m a communicator, writer, thinker, disciple, mother, wife, and many more things. My husband and I have been married for 14 years and we have two girls. Austin, TX has been my home most of my life.
The oldest child in a pastor’s family (more about that here), my mother says I was in church from the first Sunday after I came home from the hospital. My husband is also a pastor’s kid. After we got married we both served for six years on the launch team and leadership of a church plant in Austin.
Having spent our entire lives and countless hours attending, volunteering in, and working for conventional churches, the past several years we’ve found ourselves participating in something completely different. We are part of a simple church (also known as a house church or organic church). Our church family is part of a network of simple churches called BridgePoint.
I work from home part-time writing Sunday school curriculum for Sparkhouse and I handle communications for a private sales consulting firm. I also homeschool my girls part-time. They attend a private, University Model school two days a week. It’s a pleasure to be helping teach and guide the children in our group on the path of spiritual formation.
