Stacy is a pastor's wife, momma of four kids ranging from ten to twenty, writer and speaker. My aim in writing is to point others to Christ through the beauty of words, application of the Bible and lessons I'm learning in my own life. 
 
She's always loved the beauty of words that are strung together well. In college I began journaling my life experiences and newfound faith in Christ. I never imagined that many of those lessons would later be used in articles designed to minister to others. God's surprising and good plans are so much better than anything I could have dreamed. Several years ago I was going through a particularly difficult season of life and ministry. As I studied the life of Moses and the wilderness journey of the Israelites, I saw reflections in my own life. Some of my first published articles originated from that wilderness time and later led to the publication of my book entitled Wilderness Wanderings: Finding Contentment in the Desert Times of Life. It's a poignant reminder that God doesn't waste our suffering.
