Stacey Swan’s favorite scripture is”For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Clinging to these words from the book of Jeremiah, I am a bearer of hope-currently as a mother and a Christian counselor. My three children (plus one more in August) are currently my main mission field. I love that I have a wonderful husband who supports the crazy adventures God allows me to go on (from backpacking to books, from Christian counseling to cooking, from volunteering to volleyball) this lady loves to live and learn!
