There was a time in my life where I felt lost and so incredibly stressed about life. Then I met Jesus and was found and comforted and now I have peace and joy. Life can still be so hard sometimes and getting to the point where I am in my relationship with Jesus Christ actually involved climbing a lot of very steep mountains. I learned that getting to the good in life sometimes involves pulling out the bad, which is sometimes so deeply ingrained in ourselves that it feels like trying to pull out a barbed hook from our skin (not the loveliest image, but my Pappap and Dad gave me a love of fishing and that’s apparently where my mind jumps to for similes!). 

With this blog, I hope to help others through what I’ve learned during the hard times that paralleled my strengthening relationship with God. My mission is to help others realize that they are not alone in struggling with things like grief, sadness, or pain while being loved by God. I want to help navigate those waters with you while at the same time growing in my own personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
