I’m Gina and I look forward to getting to know you beautiful mamas as we lean into Jesus’s comforting arms together.

I have been married to my lifetime sweetheart, Jeremy, for 17 years now and together we have 3 kiddos earthside, Elijah (12), Sam (5), and Leeli (2). Our baby, Jaron Hope was born into heaven far too soon in April of 2013. In that time of grief and longing, I felt invisible, abandoned, crushed, and I learned to worship the God who sees me, El Roi. It is my heart that no one feels that crushing loneliness that comes with pregnancy or infant loss at any stage. It is my heart that we can all learn to see and be seen by the Savior that loves us so so much. Can I just say that to you now, dear mama? He loves YOU, so so much. It is my dearest prayer as we go through this study together that He will wrap his tender arms around each and every one of you in your place of grief, and that he will cover you with his love.

I love to rot my brain with TV, particularly DC comics superhero shows, Sherlock, and mindless sitcoms. I am an 8th Grade English teacher by day, and by all hours my greatest treasure is to love on the family that God has given me. I love to read, drink coffee and write, because these are the things I’m supposed to care about as an English teacher. I have a sense of humor that I feel has gotten me through some of the darkest times in my life, when I feared I would never laugh again. I pray that God will bring laughter back to your hearts as well.

I am so thankful for the opportunity I have had to grieve and then to serve with Hope Mommies, and I am praying for each of you already that your hearts will be blessed and comforted in the word of the Lord.
