From my earliest memory, I've cared about hurting people. And wanted to comfort, help and encourage them. I've spent my life searching for the right answers for the hurting in many places, including psychology, science, medicine, religion, and relationships.
All those areas have answers, good ones. But they are only partial answers. I was looking for something much deeper and more powerful.
And that's what this website is all about.
I want to give you what you're longing for in the deepest part of your soul. I want to show you the source of love, peace, and goodness on a level you've only dreamed about. I want to bring you into the presence of hope and love that lifts you up into joy as you've never known.
Why am I so passionate about this? Because I have stood in that place and received what nothing else on this earth can give you: a supernatural connection with the beauty and love of the one, true God.
I encounter people every day that may look like they've got it all together on the outside. But they are barely breathing on the inside. Pressure, anxiety, past failures, and a vicious inner critic leave them near panic most of the time.
I have lived that life. I know all about fear, pain, and rejection.
But God healed, restored, and set me free.
I have a deep love and care for those who are suffering. Is that you? I desire to be a voice of hope and encouragement to come into the presence of the Lord. There you will find amazing love, boundless joy, and rest for your soul.
I grew up in a large family, I was the 6th of 7 kids. I know my parents meant well but our home was often angry, abusive, and a place of great pain for me. Being a highly sensitive person, this environment left me greatly damaged and traumatized.
I responded to this by living in denial, pretending that everything was fine and that I could manage life just fine. I kept up this façade through most of my life. Then everything started coming apart at the seams. I couldn't stop it, no matter how hard I tried.
During this time, the Lord began drawing me to him, loving and healing me. I experienced magnificent joy and transformation! I felt re-made, set free, and lifted into the heights of elation.
I started to see my life change; problem areas began to clear up, negative reactions disappeared, relationships improved. Best of all, I saw my confidence and self-esteem grow by leaps and bounds.
It was so wonderful, I wanted to give this to everyone! I still do. Because, to this present day, I still bring my pain, sorrow, and "issues" into the presence of the Lord. He always enfolds me in his love and care. I continue to discover more of how much he loves me.
Now, I know the depth of his love never ends, but goes on deeper and deeper - forever.
