About Me

My photo
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

A Sweet Surprise

 Remember how I said I pray for God to surprise me some way each day? Yesterday His surprise completely warmed my heart.

After church, Mike and David and I went out to grab a bite to eat before getting some groceries. Several times during the morning, I found myself really missing Juan, realizing that I'd let several days slip by without connecting with him. I knew I needed to reach out to him sometime later that day.

As we sat waiting for our food, I scrolled through Facebook on my phone. I started to scroll right past Stepping Stones Church's video from their morning sermon when a quick glimpse of Juan caught my eye! He was standing near the front talking to someone, then looked toward the back of the church for a second, before walking to his seat. For that split second, I not only got to see him, but I got to see his face. :) Mike and David thought I was crazy waving at my phone and getting all excited. Guess it's a mom thing. Such a sweet surprise.
