Gifts from God

I believe that God has a unique plan for each of us. In January 2018, I was called to radically change many things in my life. In October of 2019, I completed an 18-month program to be a jail & prison chaplain. I also transitioned from administrative work to driving a school bus for Head Start. I am a wife and mother with 2 adult children. God encouraged me to start this blog, so I write when & what he directs me to. This blog is constantly evolving. I am currently in a season of reading and reviewing books, and writing about causes/services that I believe in.
