Kimberly L. Ray never imagined she would become a published author. Yet, with each step in her journey, she felt a sense of calling that led her to uncover a gift she hadn’t known existed. Now, as the author of Walking With God and the upcoming Miracles in Numbers, Kimberly’s mission is to help others explore what she believes to be meaningful connections in everyday life. Through faith-based mentorship, authorship, and sharing her personal experiences, she hopes to inspire others to walk in faith and embrace their purpose.

Her story is one of resilience, redemption, and revelation. A devoted wife and mother, Kimberly understands the complexities of blended families firsthand. Having experienced divorce and the challenges that followed, she found strength in her faith, which ultimately led her to Eric, a man whose support has been a key part of her spiritual journey. Together, they have built a marriage rooted in love and mentorship, using their testimony to uplift others navigating similar paths.

Kimberly’s passion for strengthening marriages extends beyond personal experience. She and Eric help coordinate a faith-based marriage ministry in Central Florida, offering guidance and mentorship to couples, particularly those blending families. Understanding the unique challenges that come with co-parenting and maintaining healthy relationships with former spouses, she provides encouragement and insights rooted in biblical principles to help couples build strong, God-centered unions. While Kimberly and Eric’s work is grounded in their personal faith and experience, it is not a substitute for licensed professional counseling or therapy.

Beyond ministry, Kimberly has embraced a deeply meaningful calling—writing. Her latest book, Miracles in Numbers, explores themes she connects with biblical principles. Kimberly emphasizes that her perspectives are based on her personal faith and biblical study, and not on psychological or scientific analysis. What began as a personal exploration, with the invaluable support of her mother, Gail Buzzo, who helped edit the first draft of Miracles in Numbers, has grown into a mission to share her journey with others. With Parables in Numbers on the horizon, Kimberly continues to expand her writing, looking to explore themes within Jesus’ teachings.

However, Kimberly’s influence extends beyond books and ministry. She is also an entrepreneur, turning a passion for baking into a business that nourishes both body and soul. Hello Muffin Company was born from a simple act—sharing homemade muffins and scones at church. The overwhelmingly positive reception inspired her to launch an organic cottage bakery, where she integrates her faith into her brand by adding scripture to the back of her branded coffee mugs. While Hello Muffin Company is a business venture, it also serves as an extension of her ministry, combining entrepreneurship with her passion for uplifting others.

With her sights set on continued growth, Kimberly envisions herself as a well-established author, minister, and entrepreneur in the near future. She admires the work of leaders like Troy and Leanna Brewer, whose humanitarian efforts provide essential resources to children and communities in need. Inspired by their impact, Kimberly is exploring ways she can also contribute to meaningful causes and hopes to make a difference in the future.

Her message is simple yet profound: she believes that God speaks to people in various ways, whether through scripture or the unexpected events of daily life. For those searching for guidance, Kimberly’s books offer an opportunity to explore faith and spirituality at a deeper level. She encourages readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, reflect on the messages they might be receiving, and seek understanding in their own lives.

For those eager to follow her journey, Kimberly shares her insights and inspirations on Instagram (@Kimmieray88) and Facebook (Kimberly L. Ray). As she continues to write, teach, and uplift, one thing is certain—her work is about transformation, faith in action, and a calling that reaches far beyond herself.

The question she poses to the world is this: Are you paying attention to the moments of meaning unfolding in your life? If not, Miracles in Numbers may provide the perspective you’ve been seeking.
