A friend told me I should be an influencer…I was like -a what?-  she proceeded to educate me on the details.  At the time she was talking about budget friendly style, interior design and just simple life style.  I gave it some thought and decided I didn’t want to put myself ‘out there’, I’m not much on posting anything!  Then I was reminded of this thing God had put on my heart years ago, more than I care to admit! I’ve never followed through, thinking I wasn’t good enough to share it.  Funny how Satan works so diligently to get us to procrastinate, or like me, even paralyze us so we won’t share what God is up to. Fact is when God puts a calling on your life it’s going to keep coming up. Writing was not my thing but telling a story, in my family it’s an art form of it’s own.  I never thought I’d be writing but here goes nothing or here goes everything! Fact is…People influence the core of our life’s.  I spent a lot of time applying Isiah 61:1 to bind up the broken hearted…it wasn’t till I felt so broken that I realized I needed the binding up.  I realized I was trying to attain some unreasonable form of perfection.  My goal now is for Jesus to be seen through all my broken pieces.  I was at a horse clinic with Jack Brainard and he said “a goal without a plan is just a wish”.  I don’t want to look back another year and wish I’d done something with ‘Salty Sisters’.  My plan is to share JESUS in a way you can relate through the stories of my life and give you scripture anchor points that held me through the hard times and hopefully give you a laugh through the funny times.  I’m thankful for the sense of humor in my family.  God has blessed me with a loving family and friends.  We laugh, we cry and sometimes laugh till we cry.  I’m just a simple preacher’s kid who’s story hasn’t worked out like I’d hoped for but I’m no longer ashamed and I know first hand the power in sharing TRUTH.  I hope you find encouragement and laughter here.  I want to be real with you in a world where it is easy to feel less than because we don’t measure up to someone’s seemingly “perfect” life. The world does not define me, my Savior does and that’s the anchor I desire for you to have.  I’m using one of my Daddy’s favorite quotes “I’m going to do what I can, where I am, with what I have. “ Is it uncomfortable? Yes but contrary to the world’s option it’s not about my comfort. I’m excited and nervous but mainly I want you to leave here thirsty for JESUS, my ANCHOR, my SAVIOR, my REDEEMER, my ROCK, my LORD!
