I have a husband, Spence, and three children: Connor, who is going to college in Tennessee, and Matt and Ben, who live with us. In March of 2019, after almost 18 years of moving every 2-3 years, we bought a house in Bruceton Mills, WV, the home we plan to settle in. It came with five beautiful acres and I decided to become a farmer.

It&#8217;s the place where God kept Elijah safe and provided him with the sustenance he needed to survive. A place of safety, care, and sustenance describes the home I want to provide for my husband and children, and that&#8217;s what I hope the Cherith Brook homestead will be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Amber.
