​The Lord saved me when I was six years old, and it’s been such a sweet journey with Him ever since. When I was twelve, God opened my eyes to His purpose for my life as a believer and gave me a heart to serve Him, specifically impressing upon me a desire to encourage girls to grow in Christ.

This led to a girls’ discipleship ministry, Virtuous Daughters Ministry. I reflect with gratitude to my parents for graciously supporting me, to the many young girls (and their mothers) for their enthusiastic response to that first issue in April 2001, and especially to the Lord for taking my heart’s desire – to encourage young ladies to grow in their walk with Christ – and fulfilling it beyond what I could have asked or thought. Proverbs 11:25 says that those who water will themselves be watered, and this is exactly what has happened through the ministry of Virtuous Daughters. I truly have received the greatest blessing and encouragement as God has done much work in my heart and life - not only as I have written articles and books (there is nothing quite like sharing truth to be convicted of the need to walk it out!), but also as I have read the readers’ articles and been continually pointed to Jesus.

Although the printing of Virtuous Daughters magazine came to an end at the mark of its 20th anniversary, my heart to encourage young ladies in their walk with Christ continues. It is my goal to point Christian girls and young women to the victory and purpose we have in our Savior Jesus Christ. He is our ultimate source of joy and fulfillment.

Our ministry website (VirtuousDaughtersMinistry) contains hundreds of articles and recipes from past issues of the magazine, as well as a way to subscribe to my free quarterly e-newsletter, "Snippets." While I hope to write more books in the future, for now I am beyond grateful to be living my answered-prayer life as a wife and momma, treasuring each day of working alongside my husband to love and disciple our very own "little ladies" for the glory of God.
