Meet the woman who gave me life...

If you know me personally you know that I'm incredibly thankful for my Mom!  Not only is she the best Grandma to our boys, not only is she the most incredible Mom in the world, she just happens to be my very best friend! 

This incredible woman raised 2 kids (me & my brother Josh) all on her own after her divorce from our Dad.  Putting herself through nursing school to support our family.  Sacrificing so much for us.  I hope someday I can come close to paying her back for all she's done for us, although I'm not sure I will ever come close to paying her back! 
Me & My Mom!

My Mom Lauretta is the Mom that took us to church 3 times a week, every Sunday morning & evening service, and every Wednesday service.  A lot of people could resent that by the time they are 18.  Not me, I'm so thankful each and everyday that she planted the seed of faith in my life, that she helped to water it and nourished it...that she stood by the seed while it began to wilt and continued to water it until it came back to life.  She's an incredible woman of God who possesses so much Godly knowledge it's fascinating.  She's a tremendous speaker, I love all the times I have had the opportunity to hear her speak.  She's an amazing teacher of God's word.  She's so wise. 
My Mom has an amazing daily blog called The Plumbline.  If you are someone who is interested in developing your faith, or growing your heart and passion in understanding God's word please take a look at her blog.  She's an amazing writer and really puts things into a simple easy to understand read.  So go HERE and check her out.  And make sure to follower her if you like her writings!  I promise you won't be disappointed!
