No Higher Calling
God has given me a passion for motherhood and homemaking. From that passion, a ministry has birthed- No Higher Calling. There is no higher calling on my life than to be wife to Simeon and mama to my littles. Join with me on my motherhood journey as I seek to encourage moms and point them to Christ.
