As I sip on my favorite essential oil-infused tea and steal moments between carpool runs and meal preps, I find solace in the power of words and the soothing aroma of lavender. And let’s not forget about navigating the delicate dance of faith and motherhood – loving Jesus is at the heart of everything I do. So join me as we embark on this whirlwind journey through parenthood, literature, and all things scented with love and laughter!
Early Life: Childhood and Background
So, I was born and raised in the sunny paradise of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The saltwater runs through my veins and the sand is practically my second home. But at the tender age of 8, life took a turn and we packed up our beach gear to head to North Carolina. Little did I know that those green mountains would become my new backyard playground.
Fast forward a few years, and there I was marrying my high school sweetheart. We were just kids playing dress-up in our grown-up attire, thinking we had it all figured out. Turns out, life had a whole bunch more surprises up its sleeve for us!
But isn’t that what makes life so fascinating? The unexpected twists and turns that shape us into who we are today? It’s like one big rollercoaster ride – thrilling, terrifying, and utterly unpredictable. And hey, I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Hobbies and Interests: Personal Passions
So, picture this: I’m knee-deep in mud with my husband, wrangling some stubborn cows and battling weeds the size of Godzilla. Yes, it’s ALWAYS farming season, and let me tell you, there’s never a dull moment on our little slice of land. We’ve been at it for 25 years now, and the farm has become more than just a hobby – it’s a way of life. There’s something truly satisfying about getting your hands dirty and reaping the literal fruits of your labor.
And then there’s the other part of my life that involves playing chauffeur to a pack of teenagers. From soccer games to chior practices, I feel like I should have my own personal fan club for all the miles I’ve clocked driving these restless souls around. But hey, what can I say? It keeps things interesting! And when I’m not shuttling kids around town or mucking out stalls, you’ll find me at church working with the little ones in Sunday school. Let me tell you – wrangling toddlers is just as challenging as wrangling cows!
Now as for DIY projects… well let’s just say I have more Pinterest boards than actual finished projects. The desire is definitely there – fueled by lofty dreams of transforming our home into a DIY paradise – but between taming nature on the farm and keeping up with teenage shenanigans, finding time for craftiness feels like trying to corrall kittens in a tornado! But mark my words: one day those DIY dreams will come to fruition…hopefully before retirement!
Values and Beliefs: Core Principles
Believing in Jesus isn’t just a casual hobby for me; it’s the foundation of my entire existence. His sacrifice on the cross is not just a story to me but a powerful source of hope and redemption. His love and grace have changed my life in incredible ways, guiding me through challenges and celebrating victories with me. Embracing His sacrifice on the cross reminds me that we are all created equal in His eyes, with unique gifts to offer to the world. This belief fuels my passion for unity and collaboration because I truly believe that when we work together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
But here’s the thing: while faith is vital, so is good old-fashioned hard work. In a world where shortcuts are often glorified, I stand by the value of hard work. There’s no substitute for putting in the effort and dedication needed to pursue our dreams. I believe God has given us gifts and talents to use for His glory, and that means rolling up our sleeves and putting in the effort. Together with a sprinkle of teamwork and a dash of determination? Trust me; we can move mountains — or at least make an impact in this world.
So yeah, if you’re looking for someone who’s passionate about faith, hard work, and teamwork – well look no further because that someone’s named Beth (that’s me!). Let’s do this ‘life’ thing together!
