I am an ordinary girl, with an ordinary life. I have a pretty mundane job, two kids, and a husband who puts up with the chaotic mess of our lives. Pretty ho-hum and run-of-the-mill. Pretty ordinary.

I am an ordinary girl, with an ordinary life. I have a pretty mundane job, two kids, and a husband who puts up with the chaotic mess of our lives. Pretty ho-hum and run-of-the-mill. Pretty ordinary. Yet I recently have experienced some extraordinary things, and I thought it’d be cool to share those experiences by writing them down. I have always wanted to write a book and be an author, so in addition to my day job as an Engineering Manager, I am also now adding ”Author” to my resume... and that is the job of which I am most proud!
Right now, writing is just an “in my spare time” endeavor, but I hope that one day, after a bit of elbow grease and some luck, I can make it my full-time job. Because being an honest-to-goodness writer is something that I’ve wanted to do since I was 3!

Is to let others know that their faith journey is just that—THEIR faith journey, and that their journey has no defined path or time. That being ordinary is a conduit for God and His miracles, both big and small. We just need to be quiet and willing to listen for His voice...
I have finally found God in the quiet, and now I hope to inspire

I have finally found God in the quiet, and now I hope to inspire others by sharing my journey and leading by example. If I can finally work on my dream, and write a book that was 35 years in the making, you can find yourself and realize your dream too!
Please note the new “Prayer Chain” section below... I think praying for others is part of my mission for Christ, so if you have petitions you’d like heard, please send them below. Also, I’m not so tech-savvy, so the Prayer Chain will be a work-in-progress as I learn— please be patient with me as I figure out the best way to fulfill this part of my mission! :-)
I will add prayers I receive through extraordinaryspark@gmail.com or through Facebook messenger here. Together we can lift up others’ petitions to God and help live out our mission.
Please send me a note if you want your prayers added here. Also, please note if you prefer to keep the prayer request private, as I will not post it publicly, but will instead add it to my private petitions.
