Bio

For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy... through Jesus Christ our Savior
— Titus 3:4-6

I see my life as divided into two clearly distinct categories: before Christ and after Christ.

Before Christ I lived and walked through life sinning and following after the wrong things, and desiring what is now to me wholly undesirable. After meeting Jesus Christ, I had a complete change of heart and literally became a different person. 

Because of Him, the new me was and is much more attractive! And that’s why such a wonderful man as Paul Helseth introduced himself to me over twenty years ago and eventually asked me to marry him. We now have three beautiful children, one that is already with the Lord, and a very smart black Lab named, Ruby. 

Because Jesus Christ defines who I am, I am always a Christian first. After that I am a woman from a multi-ethnic background with many differing loves and interests; one of which is writing. Thank you for reading my blog!
