About Heather

Hi, I’m Heather!

Welcome to my little online “home.” If you were to ask the essentials about me, I’d tell you I’m the wife of my beloved Judah, and mom of six delightful kiddos: Jude (11), Jenesis (9), Jeneva (7), Javan (5), and Jack (3). And more than anything, I desire my life bring honor and glory to my Savior, Jesus Christ, in all I do and say. This takes shape practically in various day-to-day happenings, one of which is writing.

Writing wasn’t always what you’d call a passion of mine, but in 2013 God gave me the opportunity to start writing for the ministry Set Apart Ministries, and what began out of obedience has turned into a deep delight as a means of encouraging other women on the “narrow road” with me. The means and capacity of writing has ebbed and flowed over the years, but I’m grateful it’s remained fairly constant as a tool to put to words what the Lord has taught me through the various seasons and circumstances of the life He’s entrusted to me. Along with writing, I love encouraging other sisters in the Lord face-to-face, and being encouraged by them; in fact, this is my favorite—where the rubber really meets the road in growing in all the “one another’s” that come along with the Christian life. Along with this, my husband and I also have a burden for hospitality, and I continually seek to deepen in my understanding of hospitality and the beautiful, life-giving things He intends to take place within the four walls of a home.

My book Expectant: Cultivating a Vision for Christ-Centered Pregnancy launched in May 2020. Along with continuing to be a contributor for Set Apart, has also have the joy of writing monthly for Revive Our Hearts, and have written guest articles for Well-Watered Women, Wholehearted, Risen Motherhood, and Val Marie Paper. I’ve also had the privilege of sharing on various podcasts over the years.

And since a little bit of history always adds some dimension, I’ll share a bit of mine. I spent 12 of my childhood and teen years living in Mongolia with my parents and seven siblings. That’s where I met Judah, whose family also moved there when we were young. We married in 2011, and shortly after moved to Windsor, CO to attend Ellerslie Leadership Training, and the Lord has kept us here ever since. The Lord has blessed us intensely in the church family and community here.

I love spending my days with my kids doing all assortment of things: homeschooling, crafts, working together, and cracking up over mad libs in the evenings (among other things). In the mornings you can often find me sipping a cup of coffee with Judah, and find us sipping a cup of tea together once the kids are in bed (maybe dreaming about the future or coordinating our calendars or chuckling over the three-year-old’s quotes).

Podcasts are my currently preferred learning source, and you’ll often find me listening to them while getting ready in the morning or folding laundry. I’m not sure what my favorite book of the Bible is, but if I had to pick I’d say Proverbs in the Old Testament, and James in the New Testament. I have a goofy streak that pops out at unexpected times (an important thing to note, since it’s caught some people off guard who think I’m always real deep). A few of my little joys are painted nails, fresh flowers, playing piano, and modern calligraphy. I had a black thumb for years, but with some coaxing it’s beginning to turn green. 

Thank you, friend, for stopping by. I hope my little corner of the internet world will bless you!
