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.

A Camping We Will Go
Thursday Jan 23, 2025
Thursday Jan 23, 2025
The more I read and research, the more I realize how important it is for children and adults to be out in nature! This aspect of life has become so important to us that we are seeking to make outdoor time a part of our family culture. That effort has led us to camping together! While it is so good to get away from everyday responsibilities and tech and get immersed in nature, it's not aways easy to tent camp with five little children!
On this episode, I share tips that have helped us fall in love with camping adventures!
- What to pack
- What we eat
- Fun facts about camping in Australia
- Creating an adventure playlist
- Navigating hard things and unexpected challenges

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
Join me as we study Hymns for the Heart each month throughout 2025. We will be meditating on the words and truths of twelve beloved hymns of the faith.
On this episode, we hear the story of Captian John Newton and the events that led him to writing "Amazing Grace." We learn about our gracious God. We think through discussion questions that delve us deeper into biblical truth.
You will walk away from this episode amazed by our gracious God and with a song of worship in your heart. "We've no less days to sing God's praise then when we've first begun."

Summer Rhythms
Thursday Jan 09, 2025
Thursday Jan 09, 2025
We are in the middle of summer here in Sydney, Australia. I have come up with a simple rhythm for our mornings during our break from homeschooling. I have found that having a bit of structured time together at the beginning of the day helps keep them from wandering around with no direction. This is a fun time of reading, learning together, music practice, and activities!

What is My Highest Calling?
Thursday Jan 02, 2025
Thursday Jan 02, 2025
God has a will for every person and a plan for every person. His will is the gospel. He desires that all people come to know Him and to make Him known. His will is the bedrock from which the plan develops. It is in His will that we find our identity, but it is through His plan that we live out our daily callings for His glory.
This podcast is called No Higher Calling. What is my highest calling? What is your highest calling? In this episode, I share my heart and what God is teaching me from His Word in regards to the thought of His will and His plan for our lives.

NHC Family~ Couples of the Bible: Joseph & Mary
Monday Dec 23, 2024
Monday Dec 23, 2024
We finish our Couples of the Bible study with Mary and Joseph. Why add this couple to the "undesirable couples" list? Though God saw them as highly favored, man misunderstood and deemed this couple undesirable. That did not matter to them! They knew they had received a command from God, and they were willing to fulfill it, no matter the cost.
Simeon and I talk about what it means to be wholly given to the Lord as a couple, even if that means that others misunderstand your choices.
Scriptures Referenced:
Matthew 1:18-25; 5:11-12
John 8:48
I Peter 2:23-25

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
There is a scarlet cord woven throughout all Scripture. God had a plan for the redemption of mankind. His plan was Jesus Christ. For centuries, women wondered if they would be chosen to be the mother of the promised Redeemer. Out of the pages of history, God chose Mary to have that honored privilege.
Jesus Christ has come and paid the price for our sins. He fufilled all the longings of man's heart. That is why we celebrate Christmas! But He is coming again! Come thou long expected Jesus!
