Why go public after hiding my weaknesses so many years? The freeing power of Christ's grace has encouraged, healed, and strengthened me, compelling me to share. May we all increasingly experience His power perfected in our weaknesses!
I am passionate about seeking truth, knowing God, loving my husband and two little girls, and encouraging other people. In particular, I have a tender heart for people who are suffering or struggling with things that aren't always easy to talk about. I think this is because of my history of ongoing defeat in the areas of: (1) mental health (obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, and hyperventilation syndrome), (2) being controlled by numerous fears, and (3) struggling to thrive spiritually in the face of tough questions about truth (including doubts about God's existence, doubts about the Bible, and questions about God's goodness in the midst of human suffering).
However, I am now living as a victor in all of these areas. Perfectly? No. Consistently? Yes.
I pray that you will be inspired and encouraged by this testimony of God's sufficient grace.
