About Paula
If we could talk over
a cup of tea, I’d love to hear your story. We all have a story, an
endlessly fascinating one, because God is its Author.
Somewhere in our
conversation, I’d probably talk about some of the things I love—like the
mountains of North Carolina and a deep laugh with a good friend. As an
author, speaker, and counselor, my great pleasure is helping women
experience God in the challenges we face and our most important
relationships, in the dreams we’ve carried for what seems like
forever. I am convinced that women hunger for a reality and depth to
their lives that only Christ provides.
I’ve been married for
almost 35 years to Stacy who has spent his adult life in developing
leaders—for many years with The Navigators and now, directing MentorLink
(mentorlink.org). We are the parents of two children who’ve grown up to
be adults we actually enjoy and who are now producing …grandchildren
(which may be the whole point of having children!)
Years ago, when
people wore bell bottoms the first time and campuses rioted over a
different unpopular war, Christ met me on the path I was traveling—more
real than the tree I’m standing beside in this photograph. He waited
and wooed and drew me to a light so inviting, so beautiful that
everything else faded into shadows. More than anything, I am simply
grateful.
My hope is that this website will serve as an invitation to a few fresh
thoughts and well-worn wisdom that leads you deeper into the light of
Christ on your journey. Feel free to download either of these devotional
guides, designed as follow-up from women’s conferences on Strong
Women, Soft Hearts or Better Than My Dreams.
