You ARE an Artist!
Hello, there! I’m back! I’ve missed being part of this space the last couple months, and I’m excited to join you all again. My family and I have successfully and safely moved across the country, and seen God’s gracious provision for our family every step of the way. Rather than tell the stories all over again, feel free to check out my personal blog to
Time. . .it is precious, it goes by way too quickly, and we only have a certain amount of it. How am I using my time?

Do you love watermelon as much as I do? Well, we discovered another yummy way to eat it! I try to keep my family eating as healthy as possible. . .and in summertime, that means making our own popsicles.
