Wife, mama, scribe

MyAwesomeOliveShoots
This is the life of a former strident existentialist, agnostic feminist who came to know Christ. I'm a wife, writer, and mama of three sons ages 22, 17 and 15. My oldest son is a 2012 graduate of the United States Military Academy. My lifelong goals are to raise three sons who love and serve Jesus their entire lives and also put the toilet seat down after using it. If I do that, my work here on earth will be done.
