Sometimes I ask myself, “How did I get here?” I often find myself in over my head, but that’s not always a bad thing. Being in over my head leaves plenty of room for God to show up and do His thing. And more than anything, I want people to know how awesome God is and what a difference He is able to make in our lives.
I was born into a loving Christian home, and God has always been a part of my life. I was baptized at 9, made a few wrong turns in finding my independence as a teen and somehow found myself in a pretty low place as a young adult. During that difficult season, there were times that I believed my husband and young children would be better off without me. That’s when God lifted me up and showed me that my purpose was in Him and that I was worth something to Him. The journey got pretty exciting after that, and I knew then that God isn’t just a part of my life; He is my life.
I still make a lot of mistakes, and I am thankful that God has been so loving & patient. One thing I know for certain is that I need Him and I owe my life to His Son Jesus who laid His life down for me. He has blessed me in ways far bigger than I could ask or imagine. This journey has been filled with both joys and difficulties, but I know without a doubt that no matter what lies ahead, He will be with me through every season.
