Hi, I’m Kristi—
a follower of Christ, and someone who deeply desires to see others pursue the heart of God, live the story He has written for them, and press on toward the upward call. 

Having walked through seasons of both joy and deep refining, I’ve learned that God meets us in every moment—gently drawing us closer, strengthening our hearts, and faithfully leading us forward. My journey has been one of learning to trust Him more fully, to surrender more deeply, and to keep going even when the path isn’t easy.
