Hello! Let’s get connected!
Welcome to Connected. A blog about things we love and have in common. I am excited about connecting over faith, family, food, travel, and much more!
My name is Christa Skipper, wife, mom of 4 awesome kids, and a seeker of authentic connections with Jesus, people, and the world around me. A quick background…. the idea of connecting came during a hard season of life. I found out that I have thyroid cancer and had two surgeries in a week to remove my thyroid. The surgeries were fine, but complications afterward almost took my life. A few months later a disk in my lower back collapsed and I found myself having another really big surgery and flat on my back for weeks and weeks. It was in those quiet days of recovering that I had time to think. I thought about different things I wanted to do when I got better. At first those things seemed random, until I realized the common denominator- connection. All of them had to do with a desire I had to connect with people. Connections over the same health issues, or my faith walk during that time, or connecting over common likes and interests.
I think this blog can be a fun way to connect to friends and strangers alike over things we experience everyday. Hopefully we will connect and get to know each other as a result!
Blessings! Christa
