Behind the scenes: Meet the DaySpring contributors
The DaySpring Writing Community is where women of different ages, life stages, cultural backgrounds and church traditions show up with their real stories of the ways God is showing up in their real everyday lives, so you can see Him more clearly in yours. Be sure to follow DaySpring on Facebook and Instagram to get news of the latest posts and join the community discussion!

Jenny Erlingsson
Jenny Erlingsson is a speaker and author of romantic fiction and creative non-fiction. When she’s not ministering in Iceland or Alabama with her Viking husband or mothering her adorably feisty kids, she can be found writing and reading in the margins, with a side of Icelandic chocolate.

Kristen and her US Air Force veteran husband, David, have three beloved adult children and live in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
