I’m Jill & I am so glad you are here.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I am a writer, lover of the outdoors, Jesus follower, KidMin Director, momma and a wife.<\/h5>\n

I have been filling journals since I was a little girl, writing \u00a0is my way of \"\"<\/a>seeing the world, of processing my feelings and connecting with others.\u00a0 I am a number 4 on the Enneagram, so things get pretty heavy quick around here.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I worked in college admission for 15 years before beginning a whole new career in Kids Ministry, where I get to partner with families and teach kids about Jesus and I love it. When I am not working or chasing my kids, you can find me outside, with my nose in a book, or of course…writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On this blog, I share thoughts and reflections rumbling around in my heart. How I see the world, what I am struggling with, and how I am coping with the everyday challenges of being a parent\/wife\/human. I hope this blog helps you feel seen. I hope it helps you find the blessings in the mess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
