About Us

Kristin is a Southern Georgia belle, who graduated from UGA as a veterinarian May 2010. Carter grew up in NC, went on to seminary, became an ordained pastor, and has completed his doctorate of ministry. After retiring from full-time ministry, Carter is thoroughly enjoying being a financial advisor (and volunteering on the ministry side of things). After about a month of emailing, asking questions, and going through the steps of eharmony.com, we were full of excitement and became very eager to meet one another face to face. October 25, 2009, we met and enjoyed every minute together. We had no doubt God was going to strengthen our relationship with Him as well as with one another. Carter proposed August 9, 2010 on the boat in the middle of Lake Wylie at sunset. Kristin said "Yes" after some happy tears. We got married April 2, 2011 and what an amazing beautiful day that was! God has continued to bless us throughout our marriage. On May 18, 2017, our family grew when God gave us our son, Micah. We look forward to see what He has in store for us each and every day. We are super blessed to be serving the Lord wherever we are. God is constantly surprising us with new callings!

Rough Sea

Even if it's only for an hour, Carter and I have purposely worked some "us" time back into our busy schedules. Some recharge time. Non-work time.  So we all know what our first pick normally is...putting our feet in the sand. 

Recently, we saw the roughest and biggest waves we've seen yet.  So rough to where red rip currents and "can't swim" flags were out.  These rough, tough, crazy waves reminded us of how life contains hardships.  And how everybody is always going through something. We don't always know the whole story, but God does.  He is right there to guide us, lead us, and carry us through them.  

Not too long ago, we were discussing how many hardships have turned into blessings for us personally.  They have made us stronger. They have taught us lessons.  They have led us to better places and opportunities. Better than we could have imagined. We have found ourselves praising Him in, during, and after the storm.  We thank God for these challenging times so that we are truly thankful for all of the good things and days He has provided.  When was the last time you counted your blessings? Shouldn't we be counting them daily?

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
1 Thessalonians 5:18
