My name is April McPhaul, I am a Wife to my Big Mac, Mother to my Josiah, Educator to my students,  Encourager hopefully to all, and I am immensely in love with Jesus! I love to volunteer in various capacities with Children Ministries, Advocate from Children, Homeschooling Cooperative Leader, volunteer at the Botanical Gardens and any other opportunities where I see a need. I absolutely love everything that I get to be a part of but one of my greatest JOYs comes from being a Co-facilitator of JOY Ministries and sharing practical and spiritual tips of how to live a JOYous life despite challenging times. 

My hobbies are reading, (I keep a book with me wherever I go) finding random places to explore in various downtowns, road trips especially to the beach, and impromptu lunch date with a friend! You may also find me at Chick-fil-A dipping my waffle fry in some Polynesian sauce, if you do come over and say Hello!
