I’m Patty – the girl who lives in the boys locker room, or who is a “den mom” in my own private boy-scout troop …
The Love of My Life
I’ve been married to my dear, surfer husband for over 20 years. He has a heart of gold. In life, I’m like the kite and he’s the steady hand holding the string. God brought us together to balance and support one another. I’ve learned a lot about slowing down, patience and humility from my husband. We’ve weathered many tough times. What hasn’t killed us made us stronger. When I grow up, I want to be just like him.
My Boys
I have two boys – one in elementary school and one in High School. My oldest thinks like a philosopher and contends like a lawyer. He has a heart for the underdog and a sense of justice a mile long. He also has a will of steel. My youngest dreams his way through life. He’d rather be creating, crafting, or hosting ten of his closest friends for a day of Legos and building forts together. We have home educated … and currently use charter schools for support … my oldest is finishing out in public school for high school.
My Dream
I am passionate about writing. It has been my privilege to co-author a book entitled, Help! I’m a Parent. Collaborating on that book gave me the courage to write my own. I published Parenting Your Teen Through Chaos and Crisis in February 2018, and Slow Down, Mama: Intentional Living in a Hurried World in September 2018. The accompanying devotional, Slow Down, Mama: Thirty-One Days to Help You Slow and Savor released in March 2019.
I’m currently working on a few exciting projects including a book called Fear Not, Mama, and a memoir about motherhood! I love supporting women as they grow and walk more nearly to God. My speaking, writing, coaching, and counseling all aim at encouraging your heart, feeding your soul, and giving you wisdom for life.
Sweet Jesus
My walk with God is a story of fits and starts, stumbling and soaring. The more beautiful thing is His walk with me. If you want to read my testimony, go here. Life with Him has led me to supporting women overcoming addiction and life on the streets; mentoring women who have been through traumatic childhood experiences; ministering to women in our church; and coaching women to become all they can be. Jesus lit a fire in me to see people walk into increasing freedom and intimacy with Him.
What I Want for You
When you visit Patty H. Scott, you can expect to find a few things …
- Encouragement for Your Heart: Motherhood is hard. I want to give you a place where you feel understood and refreshed for the amazing calling of being a mom.
- Food for Your Soul: I long to bless you as you reach for more of Jesus in your life. My life mission is to abide in Him, become like Him, and live for Him. I want to help you as you do the same.
- Wisdom for Your Life: I tell it like it is around our home, not trying to paint an image that doesn’t exist. I share what I have learned, what is working {and what isn’t} because, in my opinion, parenting is the highest calling.
