My husband and I have been married for 25 years, and he is my hero! We met each other in high school, where I fell head-over-heels for him while in 9th grade and told all of my friends I would marry him one day! Our story includes him going off to college for a time, reuniting later in my high school years, and marrying when I was just 21 years old.
We now have three rewards from God, and we homeschool all three. They are 18, 17, and 15, at the date of writing this.
We live in the great state of Alabama now, though we are originally from South Carolina. Southerners in every way, except that neither of us talk like southerners! Don't believe me? Let's talk one day! :)
I am excited to be writing here on topics such as marriage, motherhood, homemaking, homeschooling, womanhood, and about my personal journey! The Lord has been so faithful to continue to work on me. I'm not "done" yet...but I know He is working extra hard to complete the work He has begun in me! I'm not perfect. (There, I said it.) I'm REAL. (Some may say TOO real.) And my heart is for women.
I am excited to get started here at His Created Female, which is a rebranding of my former blog (Far Above Rubies). I have much to say, now that I am an older, "aging" woman. My hope and prayer is to provide you with resources and encouragement as you run your own race in this life. I'm here to pray for you, answer your questions, and to share what the Lord lays on my heart as often as I can. My heart is for Titus 2 ministry to younger women, but if you are older/aging like me, there will be plenty for you, too, as we get more equipped to do the urging, encouraging, and admonishing of the younger women, as the Lord has called us to do.
The journey I have been on for the past few years has been painful, and yet so good. I look forward to sharing it with you!
