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!

Dawn Camp
After homeschooling her eight children, Dawn now devotes her time and love of stories to writing her first novel while raising three of her grandchildren. She enjoys mugs of Earl Grey, Taco Tuesdays, book clubbing, and cheering on the Braves. Dawn and her husband navigate a never-emptying nest in the Atlanta suburbs.
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 Strong
Kristen Strong is the author of “Back Roads to Belonging” and “Girl Meets Change,” and writes as a friend offering meaningful encouragement for each season of life so you can see it with hope instead of worry. She and her U.S. Air Force veteran husband have three children and live in Colorado.
Laura Kelly Fanucci
Laura is an author, speaker and founder of Mothering Spirit, an online space on parenting and spirituality. She has written eight books on faith, motherhood and grief. Laura lives with her husband and five sons in Minnesota, where she earned her Master of Divinity—and hates winter.
