And I know a thing or two about hard places.

I’ve traveled the rocky roads of marriage struggles, infertility, special needs parenting, and anxiety and depression. I’ve battled chronic illness and body shame. I’ve wondered in quiet moments if God truly is who He says He is.

And I know a thing or two about hard places.

Can you relate?

Maybe you find yourself in a similar place now. You, too, might be facing trials in your relationships or stress in your parenting. Perhaps you’re battling an illness or the sinking feeling that your body is broken and destined to let you down. Maybe you’re struggling to hold onto hope and the belief that God truly is good—to you.

I don’t know what hard thing you’re carrying today, but I know this: you are not alone

I want to be that friend who comes alongside you in the challenging moments, the one who reminds you of what’s true and how much God loves you. It’s the whole reason I write!
 
The funny thing is, I started blogging as a way to process my own tangled emotions and thoughts during one of the darkest seasons in my life.

In those dark days of deep heartache, I began writing—a childhood passion tucked deep inside my heart—and started pouring out words in an attempt to make sense of the pain. Messy journal-like entries turned to raw blog posts that eventually turned into coherent devotions and articles pointing to our One true source of hope and light: Jesus. 

These days, this corner of the internet is a safe place for women who are hurting and love Jesus but don’t want to hear a corny, cliched response to their pain. Sometimes, an embroidered message on a pillow can’t soothe the ache inside—but the pure Word of God can speak into any fiery trial we’re facing.

Dear one, I’m so grateful you’re here. Let me be a stepping stone in your journey to deeper faith and healing. Together, we can cling to the rock-solid hope we have in Him!

I have the honor and joy of being on the writing team for Proverbs 31 Ministries, where I write regularly for the Encouragement for Today daily devotions.
