Marie E Guthrie

My heart beats fast for my family, friends and calling. I am dedicated to learning how to better love my family members and friends. I am married to a very special man, Mark. I have two children - Grant and Leah. Leah is now in heaven. Her 14 month battle with cancer has taken me down a road that I never thought I'd go, but I would do it all again. This blog is dedicated to my brave and faithful daughter. Professionally, I have a passion for helping people and organizations tell their stories in a compelling way; I have been doing this fun work my whole career. Never once bored in the fundraising, marketing and communications professions. At a young age, I was drawn to the sacrificial love I learned about as I was taught about Christ. My heart since age eight was transformed from total selfishness to a heart that desired to love God and others. This love has driven who I am - far from perfect, but dedicated to the One who loves me more than any human ever could. I have questions for God about the story of my life; I wrestle with Him about losing Leah, but He and I go deep. Still feel His arms around me. We are taking it day by day.
