About Me

I'm a sinner saved by grace. I'm a wife and a momma. I am blessed with two wonderful children, here on earth, and an angel baby. I am also blessed with a stepdaughter.

I am also a medical zebra. I have several chronic illnesses, some of which are rare, making me a zebra. This makes life tricky, crazy, painful, and interesting. But the main thing is, God is in control.

I write about life. About my sicknesses. About my past. And, mostly, how God helps me through it all because, without Him, I wouldn't be able to face life every day. I hope to bring others the same joy and peace that I have.


My first blog was born out of my needing a place to vent and share my experiences with others. It grew from there. I have been writing for several years now. Run on Coffee and Grace was born out of love and support from my amazing husband and mother, without whom I would not accomplish anything. I share raw, personal experiences. I share the love of my Lord and Savior. I hope that others are able to find the same hope that I have found. Ephesians 2:8-9

Are you ready for a battle?
If you have followed Jesus for any amount of time, I'm sure you've faced a battle or two. Several years ago I watched the movie War Room (if you have not seen it, I HIGHLY recommend you do!), and it inspired me to create my own War Room. Mine is in o...

Fighting Battles
As a medical zebra, I fight battles against my own body every single day. Sometimes the illnesses win, other times, I do. I also fight mental and spiritual battles practically every day. Being physically and emotionally abused will do that to a perso...
