it’s me, Makayla.

Hey friends! My name is Makayla Harris. I am sure you got that memo when you found my site. I am a wife, friend, creative, writer, and mother of two beautiful brown children. Through my writing, you will learn so much more about who I am and my love for words.

In addition to writing, I serve my home full-time in Kansas City and lead an outreach ministry and doula care business called Compassion For Moms. I serve at my local church as an administrator and Bible teacher. Whenever I am not writing, you can catch me journaling at any time of the day, dancing around the house with my toddler, or watching a movie with my husband that I try my best not to fall asleep through. My heart is to inspire others through the words God gives me as I write about all things marriage, motherhood, ministry, and simple life things. Thank you for hanging out with me!

Meet The Family.

A marriage and two children later is honestly a dream Marquis and I prayed for. I remember when we sat on the beach and talked about starting a family. It was a desire pressed upon our hearts and here we are navigating the parenting world one moment at a time. We raise our family with a few things in mind; God first, marriage second, and our children third; everything else flows from there. As we are no perfect family, we strive each day to allow Christ to complete His perfect work in our lives. So yes, we are the Harris’, a family with a whole lot of love for one another and people around us.
