Hello! 

My name is Kristen Blakley and I just want to introduce myself to you. I was born a Texan, raised in California and living in North Carolina more years than I’ll say! I’m a daughter, sister, wife, mom and most importantly, a child of God. I have a beautiful family that I thank the Lord for every day. My hard-working husband Marcus, who is amazing and a wonderful cook to top it off and my children, Emma, a beautiful lady inside and out, creative and growing in her spiritual gifts always amazing me and Wyatt, my precious, intelligent and strong little man growing up quickly. My kiddos keep me busy and on my toes, especially the little boy!

I went to school for medical coding after working in the medical field for many years, that experience led me to working as a trauma registrar. Then, I was able to move into a position as a contractor, working full-time from home, with flexibility over my own schedule. That was a blessing from God and changed so much for my family. I now have the freedom to spend more time with my children, while working around the times they need me. I gave my life to the Lord at the age of 8 but lead a life of rebellion. I was set free by God of a drug addiction in my early 20’s. The Lord saved me many times along the way to get me here alive and well now. I met Him in a new way in 2016 that was life changing and I was never the same. 

I’ve faced many challenges along the way, as we all have. I lost my father in 2018 to cancer. My husband was going through a personal battle and so was our marriage, which peaked in 2019-2020 but God set my husband free of bondage and saved our marriage in an amazing way. God is so good!

We started going to a new church in our area that has been a great place for us. I’ve been growing spiritually from there with larger steps and acceleration, especially since 2022, when joining the Core group. I think I’m still processing everything God has done and is doing right now. I enjoy evangelism and praying for others. I’m looking forward to this new venture with K' Bee Designs to help spread the gospel to others and boldly step out in faith to spread the Word of God.
