I'm Kristen.

I'm a thirty-something wife to Lee, momma to three kiddos, blogger, and redeemed sinner.

I love studying God's Word and I'm passionate about confronting hard things with the truth of the gospel. I definitely do not have it all together but my desire is to encourage others by sharing what the Lord is teaching me along the way. 

Nine years ago I was in a deep depression and God brought my eyes to Psalm 16:11 where the psalmist cried out to God and made this statement: 

"...in Your presence is fulness of joy."
 

Those words ignited a hunger in me for joy.

The world is full of brokenness. We see it. We feel it. We are tormented by anxiety, we are struck with illness and chronic pain, we suffer loss and experience trauma - and in the middle of so much darkness, it can be hard to remember the truths in Scripture. That's when we need the blessing of other believers! 

The purpose of this little corner of the web is to elevate the cross as the true source of joy and to encourage you to seek Jesus with all your heart - in every season and in every circumstance. My prayer is that you will find encouragement here in my words. I'm running with you.
