Real Life Follower

Real Life. Real Truth. Real Grace.

Following Jesus.

The Journey Begins Here

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”

This is how it all started…

Sitting at my desk at work, I felt like God was telling me to write. So, I opened up a blank page on my computer and started typing trusting that God knew what He was doing and I just needed to obey.

As a Christ follower, I find myself in many different roles: pastor’s wife, mother to 3 children, 5th/6th grade teacher, friend, and more. It is my prayer that writing down my honest thoughts, feelings, and experiences as I seek to follow Jesus everyday, through the power of the Holy Spirit, might help others who are seeking to do the same.

If you are looking for perfection or a polished how-to manual for following Jesus, you won’t find it here. What you will find is Real Life, Real Truth, Real Grace, Following Jesus.

The name of the second book of the Bible comes from a Greek word that means “going out.” That meaning holds true as it is the story of how the Israelites left Egypt and began their journey to the Promised…
