Mediocrity to Maturity, A Journey through Despair and Repair
Does this mean that I've arrived? No! It only means that I am experienced in the...'school of hard knocks.'
And, much like the apostle Paul, I am running the race of life just like an athlete, determined to stay on track, finish my course and run with endurance the race God has set before me.
Mediocrity to Maturity is an honest, heartwarming venture through the realm of mediocrity; perhaps a place better known as the wastelands. Thank goodness I finally learned that God had real purpose for my life.
Now, I am eager to share these life changing principles with others--Simple disciplines cultivated into life that will lead to a more abundant life.
My personal journey has taken me from rheumatic fever at age six through a twenty-four year bout with seizures and on to radical brain surgery in 1999. Today, I am radically healed and seizure-free--to God be the glory!

The greatest impact in my life comes from Knowing the Lord, Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and best friend. Without Him, I probably would not be here, but because of Him, I can tell you that miracles do still happen. I am walking proof.
Thank you for dropping into my den... I do hope your heart is encouraged through the writings on this page...

Frances' believes her greatest achievement came through raising a wonderful son--a once-small boy with a great big heart who became an active marine. After serving nine years in the Marine Corps and 2 tours in Iraq, he settled in Maryland and works in the DC area.
Although her son has settled far from home, Frances trusts that God has him exactly where He needs him to be for such a time as this.
