Meet the Writer

I come from a broken family. My mother was a drug addict when I was born and had to give me up. I was raised by my aunt who was an alcoholic and very abusive most of my childhood. I left home when I was 15, and moved in with my sister-in-law who was equally as abusive and narcissistic. I had my oldest son when I was 19 and was homeless for the first 5 years of his life. I have lived in shelters, and have bounced from couch to couch.

 

I've experienced heartbreak, addictions, poverty, loss, grief, and whatever else life could throw at me. When I was 24, my mother died; but only after I tried giving her CPR, and the rest was like that scene in movies when the doctor has to come out to that little room and tell you that your loved one didn't make it. It is by the grace and mercy of God that I am still here today. He redeemed my past, and gave me another chance at life. I share more of my personal experiences with God in my posts. If it weren't for His love, I would be dead. I would've either killed myself or died of a drug overdose. God has another purpose for me. And, He has one for you too.

​

I know in today's culture, Jesus doesn't seem like a cool person to emulate. Believe me I know, I wanted to be the "hot mom" or that cool girl that you could talk to and smoke a joint with. God had other plans for my life. Now I live in a very small town near the Allegheny river, I work at my local church, which for me is so weird because I used to be an exotic dancer. I know exposing all these things should bring shame and guilt, but they don't. That's why I created this blog, as a safe space to share my story and if you feel led, you can share yours too. I want you to know that you are safe here. No one is going to judge you here, well maybe God, but that's also His job. 

​

Just know that God does not want you to stay the same, and He will go above and beyond to bring you back to Himself. He did it with me, so I know He will do the same for you. This is not a religious blog! This is a blog built on the reality that we are not perfect and that' s ok. God doesn't want perfect, He just wants you! 

​

What to expect...

Well you can expect to cry, laugh, think deeply, reflect, and turn towards God. I created this space with the intention of freeing some souls. I know how it feels to think you will never be good enough to get into heaven. I know how it feels to think God has forgotten you, those are all lies from the pit of Hell! God loves you, He always has. And, yes you alone are not good enough to get into heaven, and that's awesome because we can only get to the Father through the Son! Jesus died for you, so you could be redeemed and reconciled back to God. He loves you, and there is nothing that will separate you from the love the God (Romans 8:38-39).

​

Also start expecting the Holy Spirit to convict you, this is not shame and guilt. This is God's way of letting you know it's time to change. Change is good, it's necessary for becoming a new creation in Christ. I will also give tips on how to read your Bible, where to start, and how to apply it to your life, all that will come soon. 

​

Well, I love you, and Jesus loves you!
