I'm Anitra, and I'm so glad you've taken a few moments to visit me here. I'm on the other side of these pages taking care of my family of four, finishing a jigsaw puzzle, drinking iced tea (unsweetened!), and praying about creative ways to share biblical truth with you. 


I create content at Orchard Scribe, on Instagram, and in books and e-books with the goal of helping you grow.  You'll discover I'm a fan of lowercase letters, posting pictures of my real life, and being my authentic self as I share that content. Check out my full bio for more.

Join my email list and let's explore what it means to abide in Jesus and embrace the life he offers.
