Anxiety: The Monster That Haunts Our Kids
November 17, 2020

I’m Emmalyn. I’ve dedicated my every goal and aspiration in life to my Savior. My husband shattered any doubt in my mind that a near-perfect man did not exist, because if perfect were possible… he would be. I’m a mother to six BEAUTIFUL kids that are not biologically born of us, but are ours in every way that matters. I’m strong willed, opinionated, fervently passionate and I love to laugh. I’m also human. It is my hope that through my family’s transparency in this small corner of the interwebs, we can inspire and sow into those that might be walking a similar road. This is a book of our lives; It’s our blessings, our hardships and most of all, God’s provision and grace. Please open your book to “Chapter 1” and join us on the journey.
