I started A Place For You with the goal of encouraging others. Over the years, it’s covered topics from homeschool and Jesus to book reviews, recipes, and tough topics like abortion. I am beloved by King Jesus. I have been graciously gifted with a husband and 5 children (one who lives with the Lord).I am not one for small talk or people pleasing. I long to share deep, reflective conversations that honor God and spur you on in faith. I hope you get a glimpse of that here.
