Hey Y'all....

Let me set the record straight....I don't have it all figured out! I've just had a lot of personal experiences over the years in learning to TRUST JESUS when life happened. I've seen and experienced Him in ways that are sometimes hard to comprehend. You see, I'm just a small-town girl in her mid 40s determined to continue finding PURPOSE OVER PAIN and walk in the confidence of Christ.  After struggling through many trials in life that tested my faith and tried to take me out physically and mentally, I know He can use my pain to show others just how much HE LOVES and ADORES His people.

​

 I've experienced many divine appointments during my lifetime, so I believe you're here for a reason. I know all of those times that I landed on someone else's website or blog at just the right time didn't happen by coincidence. I could relate to real people and what they were going through at a time in my life when I needed it the most, which only increased my faith and brought me closer to Jesus. I'm forever grateful for those "God Glimmers" that impacted my life in so many ways. 

​

The Lord meets us exactly where we are in our walk with Him and my prayer is that someone out there will be encouraged. I pray that He will use me to pour into others and see ALL people the way He sees them. He promises to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine, and I'm believing for it.......

​

Heavenly Father-orchestrate those divine "mind-blowing" moments that I've witnessed on many occasions, to be able to share your LOVE that is beyond human understanding.

To those that may feel lonely, or maybe you're going through a season of suffering, or maybe you just don't feel valued or worthy.....

Help them see that their worth does NOT come from people, jobs, social status, likes, or any thing else of this world. It only comes from you!

 That was a hard concept to grasp, because I've been the type of person that lived in a state of fear of disappointing others and failure. I've always been a go with the flow type of girl and drama wasn't my cup of tea. I avoided confrontation or conflict at all cost, but it did nothing but make my anxiety worse and quickly realized that my cup that once overflowed with joy was dry as a bone.   

I was pouring myself out to everyone and pretty much neglected to replenish my cup,

but I'm learning how to navigate that in a healthier way. I'm not perfect, but 

I do know without a doubt that my HOPE is found in Jesus alone! He's the one who sustains me and reminds me daily that I AM SEEN, LOVED, KNOWN, FORGIVEN, and REDEEMED!

And I desire to help others to know to know and understand what this means, too. 

  I'm just a woman after God's own heart and I would like to share the same grace with others that I've been able to receive over my life.

We're called to Love GOD and Love His People, even those who seem unlovable and forgiving those that seem unforgivable and meet people where they are to share the same Love and Compassion that we've experienced. 

As I reflect over my life, I can see that He has aligned every single detail of this journey full of hills and valleys and I pray that it can be used to fulfill His purpose. 

Thank you Lord for all that you've done and you are doing in my life!

You continue to amaze me every single day. May others see the evidence of your works on display through my suffering that's producing a real, authentic faith and heart transformation to become more and more like you. -AMEN
