About

Hi! My name is Courtney and I am a Christian, wife, and mom. I enjoy cooking, reading, movies, photography, scrapbooking, keeping up with technology, and most of all spending time with my kids and family.  I’m excited about what God is doing in our lives. He blesses us daily and in extraordinary ways.

I started blogging in 2008 after my 2nd child was born and I quit my full time job to become a stay at home mom. At first blogging was just something new to learn and something that was just mine. Not my kids, not my husbands, just mine.

Quickly I discovered the world of work at home moms and began trying to build a work at home business. It took me a while, but I have finally found my niche. Looking back at all that I know now, I understand why the Lord had me go in the direction He did. Without experiencing those wins and loses there is no way I would be here now doing exactly what the Lord intended all along.

So what am I doing? I’m praising the Lord. I’m helping other Christians get started in their online businesses and blogs. I am able to use my WordPress and web design skills to help other Christian bloggers and entrepreneurs. I’m able to do what I love while serving the Lord at the same time. It’s an awesome thing. If you would have asked me 2 years ago where I would be today, I would have never imagined where I am at.

My favorite Bible verse is:

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 (KJV)

A little about my background:

I attended Texas State Technical College in Waco, TX and have an Associates Degree in Computer Maintenance. I also have a UNIX Administration Certification from SMU and am A+ Certified. I attended Arlington Baptist College in Arlington, Texas for about 2 years. I have worked in the IT industry and as a legal assistant for a blind attorney.
