Welcome to My Journey

Welcome to the Journey

Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Raquel, preacher’s daughter, firefighter’s wife, mama, storyteller, and the proud survivor of way too many retail shifts. This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share my faith journey, the beautiful chaos of motherhood, the lessons I’ve learned (and the ones I’m still figuring out), and some laugh-out-loud tales from the sales floor that you truly couldn’t make up.

I created this space to be real, relatable, and full of grace—with a sprinkle of sarcasm and a whole lot of Jesus. Whether you’re here for encouragement, a good laugh, or just to know you’re not alone in the madness of everyday life, you’re in the right place.

“Perhaps you were born for such a time as this” – Esther 4:14

That verse is my anchor and my reminder that there’s purpose in every season—even the ones that feel messy or uncertain. So grab a coffee, kick off your shoes, and stay a while. Let’s talk faith, family, fire life, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.
