Grace meets
the life you’re
actually living
Relationships. Waiting. Delayed dreams. Uncertainty. The unexpected. Hard decisions.
You don’t have to arrive with everything figured out.
Hi, I’m Marilyn!
I’m so glad you’re here!
I love a good conversation, especially the kind where we can be honest about life, ask meaningful questions, share a little laughter, and discover something new along the way.
For more than three decades, I’ve worked as an intensive care nurse, walking alongside patients and families through some of life’s most difficult and unexpected moments. I’ve also had the privilege of serving as a chaplain with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department and participating in hospice ministry in rural Kenya.
Those experiences, along with the unexpected turns and challenges in my own life, have shaped how I understand faith, the importance of biblical truth, and the extraordinary grace of God.
I am still learning that following Christ doesn’t mean having everything figured out. Life brings questions, disappointments, difficult decisions, and seasons we never anticipated. Yet even in those places, God’s grace is at workâdrawing us closer to Him, helping us grow, and teaching us how to live faithfully right where we are.
That’s part of my heart behind Places of Grace.
I want women to have a place where honest conversations are welcome, biblical truth matters, and growth is encouraged. A place where we can explore what it means to follow Christ in the real circumstances of everyday life.
I don’t believe we have to have everything figured out before we begin growing. And I believe God’s grace is far more active and abundant than we sometimes recognize.
So, wherever life finds you today, I am glad our paths have crossed.
Come and sit a while. There’s room for you at Places of Grace.
