Hey there! I’m Crystal, and I’m here to help all the wives, moms, women in ministry, and pastors’ wives. If you’re a woman of purpose I’m here to help you find joy in your calling. By sharing my stories and pointing you back to Jesus, I hope that you will find that you’re not alone, and through Him, you can find JOY in all the mundane and frustrating things you do each week.
Here you will find stories, tips, and biblical truths to keep all your things healthy and running smoothly. We’ll keep up with our marriages, our houses, our kids, even our ministries better if we do it together while pointing each other back to Jesus.
I have been married to my husband, Chad for fifteen years, and have been in ministry the entire time. We’ve served as youth pastors, campus pastors, lead, and executive pastors. We have experienced all the highs and lows that come with ministries. We’ve made lifelong friends who have become family. People who we can call on from many states away and they would be on our front porch in the morning if needed. There are young ministry leaders who we have had the priviledge of pouring into now serve the church full time all around the country. There have also been those who we called friends, who have lied about us behind our backs and sought to ruin our ministry for their own gain. But that’s life, that’s people, and if you’ve been there you know, that’s ministry. And through it all the Lord has created a beautiful tapestry of friendship for us! It’s so dang sweet to see how He takes care of us!
Chad and I have three boys, 11, 8, and 6. They are the funnest, coolest, silliest, hardest things we have done to date! Ha! I stay home and homeschool them, which is something I said I would never do (never say never, friends)! Being a mom is something I always wanted. I love life at home with my kids and truly would never want it any other way. It’s amazing. It’s hard. And those two sentiments repeat minute by minute some days… you know what I mean!?
Follow along with me here and on Instagram so we can keep our hearts, our man, our children, and our ministries healthy and moving forward; all while keeping it real, and laughing along the way!
