Every day is a brand new adventure for me. It's exciting to see what I and others around me will create in the 24 hours ahead. I anticipate divine appointments that continue to allow me to serve others. I have everything that I need, and all that I want, and I have learned to have joy in every circumstance.
It wasn't always this way.
At one time, I was a troubled youth, and many events, attitudes, behaviors, and emotions nearly destroyed me.
As I spent decades researching, questioning, and searching for happiness, what I discovered gently guided me back to true contentment with a few simple truths.
Through my search, I discovered a newfound joy for life, my marriage, and for parenting that I never knew before.
I share this with you because sometimes, when life hits us hard, and we lose our way, we need some help. As a spiritual mentor, I have dedicated my life to serving women like you, to succeed by the metrics God counts as worthy.
You have a purpose. You have been placed by grace to be a Godly leader in your home, in your marriage, and in your community. My purpose is to encourage you to be all that God has called you to be, using His Word, to guide you.
Christ is able.
I choose to trust God in all circumstances.
I am able to face the challenges and changes because Christ is not just with me, He lives in me.
He has given me the tools, granted me the knowledge, and allowed me to be a witness. I know I have not been saved only to be silent.
It is in Christ’s body of people whom we call the church, that we have a loving and supportive family.
Thank you so much for visiting my website! This is where I hope to do something worthwhile. Something meaningful. A chance to share the One who gives hope and makes us whole. My prayer is that after you spend a little bit of time hanging out here, you will feel equipped, encouraged and loved. Not just loved by me, but loved by the King of Kings! - Kat
We often use an invisible scale to judge others based on our own experiences. Some will condemn such transparency, and others wish they had the courage.
And then there are those brave souls, those champions of faith who have chosen to come forward to share some challenging experiences to reach just one person;
That one person who believes they have no hope left.
That one person who feels all alone in the world.
That person is ashamed and embarrassed because those things happen to "other" people, but it happens in their family.
That one person is waiting for change, praying for a miracle, and tired of holding on.
It's with great confidence that I believe the intended reader or listener will be reached. Unveiled in each story is a gift of hope.
When Faith and Business Collide
Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that if you’re a Christian woman, especially a mom, you shouldn’t care too much about business—or making money. That ambition was somehow “worldly.” But here’s the truth I’ve come to embrace: walking boldly in your God-given calling includes using your gifts to build, lead, and even profit, when it's done with purpose and integrity.
I used to chase success on the world’s terms—more money, more recognition, more of everything. But as I grew in faith, I realized I didn’t have to abandon my business gifts; I just needed to surrender them. That shift changed everything. Now, I build with a different blueprint—one that puts God’s kingdom first and trusts Him with the outcome.
Faith and business aren’t at odds. In fact, I believe they belong together. The Proverbs 31 woman didn’t just serve her family—she invested in land, traded goods, and ran a household with wisdom. She was strategic, resourceful, and deeply rooted in the fear of the Lord. That’s the kind of woman I aspire to be—and the kind I want to encourage you to become.
If you’ve been holding back—afraid that launching a business or raising your rates is somehow unspiritual—I want to release you from that lie. You can be generous, grounded, and profitable. Your business can serve as both a ministry and a means of provision. It’s not about chasing money—it’s about honoring God with how you create, serve, and steward what He’s given you.
Let this be the year you stop playing small. Ask God to lead, and then build boldly. “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” —Colossians 3:23
Even now, with all the tools and experience I’ve gained, I still consider myself a full-time mom first. My home is my primary ministry, and I structure everything around my husband and children—because no amount of success matters if I lose connection with the people God has entrusted to me. The systems I share here are the same ones I use to run a business while homeschooling, homemaking, and building a life that reflects our values.
After stepping away for nearly three years to fully focus on adopting and bonding with four of our children, I’m in the process of rebuilding my businesses in a way that fits our current season. What’s exciting is that several of the income streams I’m building now make money even while I sleep. Whether it’s digital resources, print-on-demand, or affiliate partnerships, I’m leaning into projects that bless others and keep working long after I hit “publish.”
This website is new, and I’m sharing the journey in real time—what works, what flops, and the grace that carries me through both. If you're looking for practical tools, honest encouragement, and faith-centered strategies for building a business without compromising your family, I’d love to stay connected.

Our family of 8 made the Exodus out of California in 2013.
I was a tired Mama. I was also a worrying kind of Mama too.
I worried about the rising costs associated with living in the state of California.
I was worried about the drugs and crime plaguing our Community.
I was worried about the safety and mental health of our children.
I was always busy and my husband was always working, but we still never seemed to be able to get ahead.
I was worried about remaining in a place I wouldn’t deem safe any day of the week, let alone the direction it was heading under Demonocratic leadership.
I hope these stories inspire and empower those of you who have a heart for the Lord and desire to reclaim their marriages, their families, and perhaps even their faith.

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
— Ephesians 6:10-18

Through God’s work in my heart, I have discovered the importance of praying for my husband and the power of praying for him. I believe that prayer is a vital part of a successful marriage because you are inviting Christ into your marriage to shape each of you as He desires.
In the Bible, God commands, "All of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous" (1 Peter 3:8). Paying heed to these five directives can change your life and your marriage. Praying for their needs will prepare you for the total gift of self that is marriage.
Rather than focusing on your own desires, praying for your husband helps you to put your trust in God rather than in your own effort and ability to change your husband or your marriage.
If you are unsure how to pray or what to pray for, we have a gift for you!
