Courtney
Hi, I'm Courtney. My friends call me Court.
I am a wife, mom and entrepreneur.
I love to spend time with my growing family. My children are 13, 19 & 22.
At 18 we began our family and I did not really pursue any life outside of motherhood until my oldest was 18.
Now that our children are older, my husband and I have more time to pursue our passions: beach time, gathering with our friends and family, baking and reading.
Always somewhat of a "loner" I found that pursuing Jesus filled a void in my life that brought me peace, joy and contentment.
My goal, is to share the love of Christ with others in whatever way God calls me.
My greatest desire is to be obedient to the will of God before anything else.
Last, I love snack! What is better than getting to enjoy a little bit of everything without too much of one thing.
