Chelsey Hall
Chelsey is an almost 40, Texas Gal who’s been married to her sweetheart for 17 years. She is mamma to six beautiful children here on earth (toddler to young adult) and one sweet little girl playing at the feet of Jesus. Some days she’s climbing the mountain tops, on others you’ll find her trudging along in the valleys. No matter where her journey takes her, she know that the Father is guiding her steps. Besides Chelsey’s family, leading women towards a vision of Biblical Womanhood is her greatest passion! You can find her sharing this passion along with the joys and pitfalls of marriage, motherhood, homemaking and homeschooling in her little corner of cyberspace at Joy Reflected.
