Hello fellow sojourner!
“My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all courage, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.”
Philippians 1:20 became my favorite verse several years ago. I thought that meant serving God far away overseas. Although that hasn’t happened, God showed me that it was so much more than my geographical location–to honor Him during that time would be to endure suffering, knowing Jesus more deeply and intimately. It was not a path I would have chosen for myself. However, the path challenged and strengthened my faith in ways I could have never imagined. God, being a good Father, knew what I needed–to know Jesus more fully as my Savior. Now, I desire to see generations of believers enduring suffering, truly transformed by the power of the Cross.
For the past six years, I’ve worked in the mental health field as a counselor. My clients have experienced suffering and hurt through trauma, broken relationships, mental illness, spiritual struggles, and the stressors of life. After 15 years of prayer, in August 2020, I married a wonderful man, my best friend Justin, a fellow blogger. I enjoy playing guitar; reading books, blogs, and articles on theology and Christian living; being in the outdoors; making friends from various nations; and studying the Bible. Most importantly, I’ve been saved and redeemed by Jesus Christ, who promises eternal life to all who repent of their sins and believe in Him as Lord and Savior.
