Meet Laura
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! It is my joy and passion to encourage women and provide practical ways to experience the hope, peace, and freedom Jesus Christ died to give us in the middle of our real-life worries, stress, and relationships.
I hope you enjoy learning more about my speaking and writing ministry. Most of all, however, I hope that while you’re here you will be reminded how deeply the Lord knows and loves you.
In Jesus’ Love,
Laura
