col 2:6-7
...continue to live your lives in Him, rooted & built up in Him...
My prayer is that you are encouraged to seek & know Jesus intimately.

2022 introduced challenges far beyond my understanding of God's promise in Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose."
The birth of my son & failed relationship was the interceding I, unknowingly, desperately needed in order to heal from two decades of toxic, self-sabotaging patterns. This loss & grief offered an opportunity to consider my own selfishness & take accountability for toxic habits that I was accepting as "just my personality."
This weakness & coming to the end of my "self," allowed me to truly experience the Grace and Mercy offered through Jesus. He revealed to me how these toxic patterns were rooted in childhood trauma & unhealthy learned responses in an effort to feel "safe." He allowed me space to be vulnerable & forgive myself for trauma responses I never asked for, & He continues to show me in Whom my security is found.
This is just the beginning of my new Life, one fully committed to Jesus & His example of remaining rooted in Faith while navigating real life. He fully recognized, acknowledged, and experienced tumultuous emotion, but maintained a joyful hope through His purposeful suffering.
God has given His daughter’s great favor. the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy this Truth. My ministry, testimony, and desire is to edify & encourage my sisters in Christ, proclaiming the healing, freedom, and strength available through surrender and dying to self. He must increase, but I must decrease.
I am so thankful for this testimony & calling to pour into other women as they experience Jesus' forgiveness from their former selves. This walk comes with ridicule, challenges, and a weight greater than anything you could bear on your own-a weight which God calls us to surrender to Him in exchange for His strengthening.
