Vanessa Stricker

Vanessa Stricker is a Jesus follower, a peacemaker, and a recovering perfectionist, who is learning what it means to love God and love others in all things. She is a wife, a mother, and a writer. Vanessa spent 10 years working in the non-profit world doing community development in under-resourced communities, but these days she spends most of her time taking care of two little ones, writing, and learning to embrace the beauty of the ordinary moments.
