When my husband’s health collapsed and our world turned upside down, I thought I might lose everything. What followed was months of hospital stays, ER visits, and nights I didn’t know if he’d make it through. Yet in that valley, God met me. His presence overwhelmed my fear, His joy carried me through the unknown, and His love reshaped my faith. This is the story of finding unshakable joy when everything else was stripped away.

I thought a new start in a new state would fix me. But the truth is, the old self doesn’t stay behind just because you hop on a plane. Insecurities, lies, and struggles followed me to college. Yet it was there, in the most unexpected way, that God used one man to help me see His love, His grace, and my worth more clearly than ever before.

A glimpse into my early story—before the platform, before the perspective. Part 1 of my testimony: childhood, loneliness, love, and learning to listen for God's voice in the in-between. The start of a life that’s been shaped, protected, and pursued by Him.

Lies can get real comfortable in our minds.
They settle in like old furniture—just chillin’ in the corners of our thoughts.
But when I invite the Gardener in, everything changes.
It’s time to evict the lies that lounge in my mind.
When the mind is a battlefield, I don’t want to fight alone.
