My name is Shawna.  I am a 45 year old follower of Jesus Christ first and foremost.  I am a happily married wife of 18 years, mother to a gorgeous 17 year old young lady, career woman, and co-ministry leader for Celebrate Recovery at our local church.

All that being said, “Life This Side of Heaven” can be glorious, interesting, intimidating and just plain hard at times.  This is my walk as I pursue a relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and try to navigate life this side of heaven.

I hope you will join me as I learn, fail and pick myself back up again.  Hebrews 12:1-2 is a perfect reflection of my previous statement, “Therefore we also,  since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

I look forward to sharing with you, my life this side of heaven!
