"Take the very hardest thing in your life - the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into blossom."

Mess & Majesty

I'm a life-long learner documenting a messy journey toward God's Majesty. On life's most tumultuous days, God remains faithful and good. He chooses to meet me in the middle of my mess, bringing order to my chaos. He loves to reveal the wonders of His Majesty and this is the space I share what He teaches me how to navigate this earthly paradox with His peace.

Hatyai Home

In 2015 my family traded the food carts of Portland, Oregon for the street foods of Thailand. After living in Bangkok for a season, we relocated to the city of Hatyai in the Deep South region in 2020. There is much beauty and complexity in my expat life, and I'm strive to embrace both.

My Crew

My amazing husband of 16 years is the love of my life. Laughing together is my favorite thing in the world. We have a bit of a Little Women vibe happening in our home with 3 daughters, a teenager and two preschoolers. I never imagined I would be navigated PMS and potty training at the same time, but here I am and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love my little family!
