I'm a mother, author, Veteran, future minister, and future psychologist. Everything I've experienced is not just a life lesson for me, but a chance to help others and guide them through the same mistakes or keep them from making those mistakes. My life is an open book that some may think is too open. I don't. I believe that it's the kind of vulnerability and accountability that can help people see that yes I'm a Christian, no my past isn't perfect, yet it doesn't define me. It just shaped me into who I am and who I'm becoming.
