           Meet Your Coach:

Laura Ricketts has been married to her husband Chris for over 20 years.  Their story is one of God's goodness, mercy, redemption, and restoration. 

​

You can hear some of their story on the Redeemed Vision Podcast HERE.

​

When asked about herself, Laura says, "My husband is my most favorite person in the world, and together we have been through some crazy times, difficult times, scary situations, and blessed moments. We have seen miracles - God is so faithful! 

 

I am blessed to be called "mom" by a married daughter, her husband, two adult sons, and a teenage son. They are amazing young people and bring me so much joy! I am so proud of them!

 

I also have the privilege of being the mother of eight babies who were born forever sleeping. Five of these precious little ones were born in the hospital. I believe that I will meet them one day in Eternity and they are important members of our family.  

​

When I’m not hanging out with my husband - pictured in a few of the photos: did I mention he is my hero? - I may be homeschooling (still!), or avoiding Mount Laundry. I can also be found crocheting, kayaking, coaching, or reading. I aspire to one day be a crazy cat lady and have gotten a pretty good start by "attending the births" of three litters of kittens - in my own home! I also love bacon. A lot. 

​

I can't wait to meet you and to encourage you in embracing your identity as a "Daughter of the Light!"
