About

I'm a blessed, 36-year-old mother of five beautiful children. After giving birth to my fourth child in 2017, I felt prompted to start this blog. I didn't know anything about blogging, I didn't want to start a blog, and the thought of sharing my thoughts with the world made me feel so vulnerable and uncomfortable. For weeks I fought my promptings, but I finally submitted to the Lord's will and started writing and sharing. Little did I know that 9 months later, I would fall down the stairs, sustaining a brain injury that would rock my world beyond explanation for many years (7+ years and counting). It's humbling to see how several of the blog posts I was inspired to write initially were messages that I would need personally for this trial. Messages like "Fear is a Lie," "When All Darkness Gathers In," "It is Okay to Feel Weak," etc. 

After my injury, I had to take a break from blogging, but God asked me to continue sharing via a Podcast in the last couple of years. Again, no part of me wanted to share my demons and sufferings with the world! It truly felt like I would have to stand naked before a crowd to share what He was asking me to share. However, I've determined that if sharing my thoughts can help even one person who may be deeply suffering, it will always be worth it. Each time I write/podcast, I pray it will reach “the one.” 

For a full description of my brain-injury and faith crisis story, here is the link to that blog post/podcast recording.

Thank you for your support and love. As I have been more willing to vulnerably share, many of you have reached out to me sharing your own stories of suffering and faith crises. It has blessed my life to hear from and connect with you. Thank you for your encouragement as I continue to move forward in sharing!
