About Me


Hello!  My name is Denise and I'm so happy you decided to stop by my blog.  :)

I'm a wife.  On July 7, 2007 I married my best friend - Joshua.  We've had our share of ups and downs like any married couple.  God is creating something beautiful out of the messiness of our lives, I'm sure of it.

I'm a daughter, sister, and friend.  I'm the only daughter in the middle of two brothers.  My family means the world to me, even if we are a bit crazy!

I'm a missionary.  I serve as the outreach coordinator for Centerpoint.  I have the amazing privilege to lead a team of people who are passionate about showing Crazy Love to folks both locally and globally.

I'm a follower of Jesus.  My past does not define me, but motivates me.  My desire is to love and be loved.  My passion is to share the love & grace that God has so graciously shown me.  My hope is Jesus.

This blog is as simple as the title - it is my personal ramblings on faith, family, grace, hope, and love with a mixture of book reviews and recipes.  My heart is that each post will leave you encouraged and filled with hope, but will also challenge you.

I typically post 2-3 times a week.  To ensure that you don't miss a post, you can subscribe via email.
