Hi! My name is Lisa Vander Veen, but you can call me Lis. I am a wife, stay-at-home mommy, daughter, sister, friend, registered nurse, organization freak, lover of fashion and shopping, runner, music lover, and a precious daughter of the King! I love to be silly, laugh, make other people laugh, have fun, and just be me! I was born and raised in West Michigan and have been married to my perfect match for 15 years. My 9-year-old son, Crew, has the sweetest spirit and most affectionate and loving nature. My daughter, Finley, is 6-years-old and is so full of spunk and sass that you can’t help but love her! Finley means “fair warrior” and it fits her perfectly. I have always wanted, if given the opportunity, to stay home with my children. Even though my job at home is important and exactly where God wants me to be, I always felt that the Lord had additional plans for me. I honestly had no idea what those plans entailed until about a year ago.
My dear, sweet sister-in-law, who's always been my true sister, shared a ministry with me by a woman named Shari Braendel, and particularly her book Help Me Jesus, I Have Nothing to Wear. That conversation changed my life. I caught myself thinking, "I want to be like Shari and do what she does!" It was then that I clearly heard the Lord say to me, "You're not Shari, you're you. Be you!" That was the day Becoming You was born. I visited Shari's ministry in North Carolina, received training, and became a certified Christian Image Consultant.
So, here I am being me, so that I can in-turn help other girls and women become themselves!
Go confidently,
~Lis
