Why are wildflowers welcome? Simply stated, wildflowers are Christian women called to lead but haven’t been raised to realize the fullness of that calling in their lives. In 2017, while my husband worked in south Texas helping the Houston area recover from the effects of Hurricane Harvey, the Lord began to […]

Every life is a story unfolding, waiting to be told. I pray you find encouragement as I share mine with you: Freedom came to me after years of full-on rebellion, extravagant living, and pure desperation. I never thought that one could live in complete freedom. I mean, yes, of course, I know we live in the land of the free. Christ died to set us free, and, well, that freedom is not… FREE.
The truth is that life in this fallen, outside-of-Eden world I was born into teaches me that freedom is the absence of rules and responsibilities. When we launch ourselves in the direction of that definition of freedom, we are looking for that day when we are not obligated to do or be something specific. Freedom, though, when we consider what we are looking for, is not found in what we do, nor in how we define ourselves or our circumstances – Freedom is the life-changing presence of God at work in the life of those who yield themselves to it.
I affirm these statements as my own true and personal beliefs. I further state that my profession of faith in Jesus Christ as both savior and Lord has been a constant confession from the age of 12 and that I was baptized in water at salvation in October 1982 and again in February 2005, after I received personal revelation and a renewed commitment in my life as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
After years of struggling to realize my identity, purpose, and calling through traditional ministry and life experiences – I stepped out, took a risk, and discovered a life I didn’t even know I dreamed about!
I sought out mentors and leaders in my life. I desired to be raised up and equipped for my purpose in Christ. But God had other plans. He raised me up.
Today, I believe God has given each of us an unlimited potential wrapped in His infinite possibilities and supernatural power.
I can’t wait to help you grow your dreams into a blooming inspired life!
