About me

I constantly remind myself that Jesus is the King of my Heart. I have lived most of my life not knowing Him and at the risk of sounding cliche, the best day of my life, by far, was the day I met Him.If I could change one thing, I would have opened my heart to Him long ago.

According to the worlds standards, despite my many mistakes, I’ve lived a pretty good life so far. I have a husband and family who love me. A few really close friends. A nice home. I’ve had good jobs and traveled a bit. I believe I have what I need and most of what I want.

But the one thing I do not have, and have desperately struggled for through most of my life, is the freedom from fear and insecurity. Somehow, I thought that when I received the name Christian those chains would have fallen off. But they didn’t. I quickly learned that the enemy of my soul knows my struggles all too well and boy, does he taunt me.

It took me a long time to put this blog together. I started in 2008 and I’ve written a bit along the way but didn't pursue it.  Unfortunately, my insecurities whispered,

You don’t have a purpose.
Why would God use you?
Whatever you have to say isn’t important.
And who would listen to you anyway?

But one day, while praying about writing and purpose, God led me to His voice.

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” (Revelation 21:5)

Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established. (Proverbs 16:3)

So here I go. Fear, insecurity and all.  God is at work in me.  For it is (not your strength, but it is) God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work (that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose) for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13)

If you’re reading this, I believe that God led you here. Please leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you. My prayer is that, even if it is in the smallest way, He uses this broken vessel to encourage you.

May you make Jesus your beacon of light in a dark world.
