I am thrilled to introduce another woman who is joining Those With Young as a writer and advisory panel member. I am thrilled for two reasons. First of all, I'm just thrilled to have partners. God has made us all so different, and I know that the experiences and hearts of the other women joining me here will be able to speak to some so much better than I can. They all have such valuable things to share. Secondly, I'm thrilled to have Kristine!
Kristine, and her husband Nick, are expecting baby #6. They live in Helena, Montana, where Nick serves as a bi-vocational associate pastor at their "cowboy church" and owns a bed store.
She joins me in the four boys club, but has a precious daughter in the middle there too.
Kristine teaches her kids at home; loves a good outing to the thrift store; and is known for keeping her home warm, clean, and candle-lit....often with Christmas music playing in the background (no matter what time of year it is).
I would have to say that Kristine is quite possibly the most genuinely sweet, soft spoken woman I have ever met. She has been known to evangelize in the grocery store or befriend the Goodwill employee, just because it is natural for her to care about those around her. At the same time, you may also be surprised to know, that she can be one of the biggest pranksters you have ever met.
Kristine's mom went to be with Jesus, when Kristine herself was just a young mom. This of course, left some holes in her heart when it came time for that mothering advice and encouragement in raising her own.
But in everything, Kristine turns to Jesus. You will love her wisdom, her humor, and her welcoming spirit.
Welcome aboard, Kristine!
