Thanks for stopping by my blog here at Have a Little Faith!<\/p>\n

I am a wife and mother who is striving to do the best she can each day in raising 3 kids, encouraging a hard-working husband, and living my life for Christ.<\/p>\n

I’m a country gal at heart – our family currently resides in a rural part of Wisconsin – surrounded by some of the prettiest Dairyland you’ve ever seen. We dream of owning our own hobby farm…someday…and adding to our love for animals and the quiet country life.<\/p>\n

Speaking of animals…We have one spunky dog that we adopted named Annie, two crazy cats named Luna & Hermione (Harry Potter nerds, anyone?), a friendly white fish named Blizzard and a whole brood of chickens. I love my feathered ladies!<\/p>\n

You can read more about our adventures in raising backyard chickens here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve worked in the non-profit world for 10+ years, mainly in Marketing & Communications.
\nI’m a writer by trade. I like to look at my job as professional storytelling.<\/p>\n

I also volunteer part time at my children’s school as a librarian. #booknerdforever
\nMy love for DIY and re-purposing also keeps me busy.<\/p>\n

I collect vintage items. I have a slight obsession with home improvement projects & rearranging my furniture, but bottom line – I love creating anything with love and a little faith.<\/p>\n

More About My Blog<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have always had a love for the written word. As a child, one of my favorite places to go was the library, where I could check out a book and escape into stories.<\/p>\n

As I grew up, my love for writing evolved. I have a degree in Mass Communications and have written for many different venues, and published everything from poetry to non-profit newsletters to magazine stories and local newspaper editorials.<\/p>\n

But my absolute favorite kind of writing is journaling\u2026telling a story through life\u2019s events. I still have a collection of filled journals from throughout my childhood tucked away in my closet.<\/p>\n

I am very passionate about children\u2019s literature<\/a> <\/strong>and can’t stress enough the importance of spending time reading with your kids.<\/p>\n

Creating All Things with Love & a Little Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a creatively minded person can be a blessing and a curse. I sometimes have a hard time shutting off my brain when it comes to ideas\u2026and don\u2019t even get me started on Pinterest and the hours of\u00a0\u2026wasted<\/del> invested time I\u2019ve spent on there! But here is an awesome message on creativity from one of my favorite devotionals,\u00a0Jesus Calling<\/em>, written by Sarah Young: (hint: she writes this as Jesus would be speaking directly to you)\u00a0<\/em>\u201cI, the Creator of the Universe, am the most creative Being imaginable. I will not leave you circling in deeply rutted paths. Instead, I will lead you along fresh trails of adventure, revealing to you things you did not know. Stay in communication with Me. Follow my guiding presence.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I have such a love for using my creativity, it is a wonderful opportunity to bless others. I love the art of re-purposing items. Finding something old, forgotten and castaway and breathing new life into it is my specialty. Each item is one of a kind, and many are thrifted or tossed away items just waiting to be turned into a new purposeful creation.<\/p>\n

I am a child of God and Jesus is my Rock and Savior. God has empowered me to do bigger things than I could ever imagine possible. Everyone is called to experience their own unique faith journey<\/a> <\/strong>in this life. I pray that you would be inspired to find yours! #keepthefaith<\/p>\n

He replied, \u201cBecause you have so little faith, Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, \u2018Move from here to there,\u2019 and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.\u201d Matthew 17:20-21<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
