My heart for this blog is to create a space where I can delve into the depths of my thoughts and experiences, sharing my writings with my fellow remnants and sojourners. As we navigate through the complexities of life, it’s evident that we are in desperate need of authentic believers. It is crucial to cultivate a community of Christians who are not afraid to share their struggles, aiming to defeat the pervasive routine of shame and isolation. Through honesty and vulnerability, we can forge connections and inspire hope, fostering an environment where others feel understood and embraced. God calls us to bear one another’s burdens, so let us run the race toward Him in encouragement and love.
My Inspiration:
This blog has been a dream of mine for several years now. It all started with a prayer asking God to use my talents for His glory. Then I felt the Lord lay it on my heart to share my writings. The ones I hold dear to my heart.
My Story:
I often find myself isolating from community when dealing with pain or from shame of my sin and failures. Living can be painful. Breathing can be difficult, but the enemy wants nothing more than for us to think “i’m the only one who struggles,” or “I can handle it all myself.” Let me tell you, you can’t–you can bear “the whole world” on your shoulders for a moment, but then it all plummets and you’re left with nothing but hopelessness and heartache.
My sweet friends I am here to tell you that there is hope amidst the chaos. That you are not alone. You do not need to live in the pain from your past. You are not “too far gone.” My prayer is that my writings would expose the routine of isolation and point you to God and a life of freedom through His mercy. In His presence there is fulness of JOY.
