Sandra A. Lancaster, LCPC

Life can be very tough, but it doesn't have to be boring! The Bible tells us that in this world, we will have trouble, but to take heart because Jesus has overcome the world! What joy that brings to my heart! Knowing tough times come (and boy sometimes they seem to come too many and too close together for my liking) but knowing that Jesus is in control and His wonderful grace is with us brings such joy and peace! Parenting can be tough and great, and frightening! My goal is to help bring some humor and joy into parenting issues that might be overwhelming, especially for new parents, single parents, and parents experiencing tough times.
