An Abundance of Mothers

 I grew up with an abundance of mothers. My mom had me young so I was raised up in a family where I had a lot of people looking out for me and my mom.


I have three brothers, but I grew up as an only child. I have itty bitty cousins that feel more like nieces and nephews. And I have a niece and a nephew that feel more like cousins. My aunts feel like sisters and my mom is my mom but probably not like your mom. My bio dad has an entire family I don’t have a relationship with except for an uncle that checks in every once in a while. I have a really awesome stepdad, and my grandpa was the most premium of fathers ever.

I share this with you because I want you to know that families look different. Healthy families look different.

Researchers have an idea of what a “normal” family looks like, but there is often no consistent pattern on what causes someone’s life to turn left or right. There are risk factors. There are likelihoods. There is probability, but nothing is as sure as God.

Statistically, my life shouldn’t be how it is. I don’t live life in the deep end nor have I ever as precedence would suggest.

Hear my heart: no matter where you come from, God makes all things work together for His good. There is a sure hope in Jesus. I know because I gave my life to Him meaning I surrendered my life to serve him. I know that’s why I don’t live life in the deep end. I can see how God’s hand was over my life before I was even born.

I am meant for this.

God created me to help you discover what it’s like to have your own healthy, thriving family that can defy the odds so history doesn’t repeat itself.

A healthy family starts with a healthy you.
Let’s work together to make that happen
