    Hi, I’m Krista.

    Strategic communicator and storyteller.

    I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
    And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

    I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
    oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

Thanks For The Not-So-Obvious Things

October 5, 2010

When thanksgiving comes it is so easy to be thankful for family, friends and health but sometimes we forget to be thankful for the not so obvious things…depression that leads us to complete emotional dependence on God, disabilities that cause us to cry out everyday for strength and circumstances that  bring us into community with people we wouldn’t normally commune with. I am in that place. I did a little blog surfing tonight and came across this one. No more than a glance at her adorable little girl and tears begin to form. This is a blog like many others and that is just it. The community of Downs is so unique and saturated with believers who chose life, because it is God given. They recognize that they children are not dispensable but gifts from God. I am blessed.
