+JMJ+ I am overjoyed to share some truly unexpected and humbling news: I will be publishing a children’s book with Pauline Books & Media!
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be writing a children’s book, but God had other plans. This particular story is so near and dear to my heart. While I can’t share details just yet (trust me, I will as soon as I can!), I am beyond grateful for this new venture.

What makes this even more special is the opportunity to work with the sisters and staff at Pauline Books & Media, a solidly Catholic publisher dedicated to spreading the Gospel with truth, beauty, and love. I already feel so welcomed and inspired by their mission and hospitality, and I am deeply honored that they are helping to bring this story to life.
As many of you know, our family is preparing to welcome a new baby. She’s due this week! Edits for the book will likely begin not long after, so I would be so grateful for your prayers in this joyful (and busy!) season of life.
Storytelling has always been one of the most powerful ways to share faith. Jesus Himself taught through stories — simple, relatable, and filled with truth. My hope is that this book becomes one small way of helping children encounter His love. Every word we write, every story we share, has the potential to plant a seed of faith. That’s what excites me most about this journey! God can use something as simple as a children’s story to touch hearts in ways I may never see.
I cannot wait to share more about this project when the time comes. For now, please join me in thanking God for His surprises, for the gift of storytelling, and for the privilege of collaborating with such a wonderful Catholic publisher.
