Welcome!

I’m Mary–a coffee lover and Jesus follower.

Pull up a chair, bring your coffee and join in the conversation!

I empower women to walk toward brave faith one step at a time. Martin Luther King taught, “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” Thirty years as an elementary school teacher and a mom of two sons taught me that taking the first step is always the hardest. It is only with God’s grace that we find the pathway to Him and His provision.

What I Know

I am nothing without God. His love, grace and truth are my strongholds. Encouragement flows from who God is and His desire for us to walk with Him. In this second part of my life–my sequel–I write about brave faith and God’s grace in the ordinary moments of life. I am a speaker with a heart for empowering women to walk bravely in any season of life and the author of Brave Faith: A 31 Day Devotional Journey. God has so much more for us than we can imagine. My sweetest joys in life are God, family, hanging out here with all of you and of course starting my day with coffee.

What I Don’t Know

That’s a loaded statement. I don’t know how to maneuver this journey called life without God. I am a broken child of God who has been redeemed by His precious grace. My story is one small piece of God’s kingdom story and it is no mistake that you and I are here today.
