About Me
I grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa with my four sisters. My parents nurtured us to love God and love God’s creation. God’s handiwork was all around us on the farm. It still amazes me how from one tiny seed grows a bush full of beans. I have always been fascinated with the animals. How did the cows know the exact time to come to the barn to get milked? You could set your watch by them. I have never been able to separate God and nature. For me nature is God’s lesson book about Himself.
Years quickly passed and I became a mother of four wonderful children. Like me, they were nurtured in the love of God and grew to appreciate the outdoors. To this day they spend hours kayaking, rafting, mountain biking or hiking in the mountains. All of us enjoy planting flowers and gardens and I enjoy trail riding my horse, Dolly. Even my young granddaughter loves to pick flowers and play with her cats. Every time the door opens she is ready to go outside.
Jesus Christ taught on the mountain side, sitting in a boat on a lake or in the wilderness. He used nature to explain the ways of God. He used a mustard seed to explain believing and the birds to show how God will provide for us. His way of teaching inspired my daughter, Jenny, and me to put lessons and activities in a book to help young children understand God. “Enjoying God’s Word Together” will help any adult nurture their child to love God and His creation. God made laughter, so have fun and enjoy all God is and all God has given every day of your life.
