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.

God's timing, not mine

As I read through my Bible study this week in preparation to teach (Living Beyond Yourself by Beth Moore), I came across something I'd written in it nearly fourteen years ago that touched my heart. 

Question:  In what area of your life are you most needing to trust in God's faithfulness right now?

My answer: My desire to be a mommy, both naturally and by adoption

 (Within a year or two later, God gave us David, naturally.  We waited nearly 12 more years after that before God officially gave us Juan David, by adoption.)

Trust in His faithfulness.  If He put the desire in your heart, He will be faithful to give it to you. 

Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
