My name is Heather. My passion in life is to encourage and inspire others to seek out and know Jesus Christ. I believe this heart-sore world needs a life-breathing, encouraging word. I cannot say I have all the answers and know why everything happens as it does. I don’t. I have experienced both success and failure, sweet joys and deep sorrows, tender love and bitter loss, good health and life-draining cancer, life-long friendships and the dagger of betrayal. Perhaps, you have too. As a result, I am more determined than ever to live out the mercy and grace of Christ as best I can and share a word of His hope.
I am the wife of John, the most generous, real and authentic man I know. He loves and cherishes me – just as I am – and for that I am beyond grateful. I am the mother of three incredible young men – Micah, Jake, and Caleb – who teach me the importance of being true to myself and inspire me to seek joy in every moment. I am a missionary in southern Africa – embracing the incredible truth of God’s infinite love, tender mercy and divine purpose for us all.
There is a verse in Mark which says, “She has done a good work for Me.” This is my aim as I write this blog – that it is a good, honoring, and hope-filled work – to bless you and to bring honor to my Lord and Savior.
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a great New Year.
