Samantha Maria Robinson is a wife, a mother, a teacher, and most importantly, a child of God.

She enjoys spending time with her family, serving others, and going on new adventures, especially when it comes to exploring nature.

She loves telling and teaching others about the gospel and how much Jesus loves them the most! She truly believes that Jesus saves and transforms, and what better way to tell the world how He does that than by speaking on how the LORD saved and transformed her? Samantha put her full and only trust in Him and Him alone. Jesus is not only her Father but also her Savior and Redeemer.

Samantha Robinson, and Maria are fearfully and wonderfully made in the perfect image of God.
