My Story
I was a woman with a plan. Had the degrees. Had the man. And thought I had life all figured out. That is until my love life completely wrecked me. That’s when I decided to reset my relationship with God. Together, He taught me how to apply my faith towards trusting Him to create a life beyond my wildest dreams. Ten years later, I have the privilege to teach women to do the same.
I believe that God has called me to encourage women to trust Him openly and fully with their most precious gift: their hearts. Going through all of the heartaches and heartbreaks in my time has given me a powerful testimony that I now use to inspire others to put God back at the center of every relationship in order to create love the way that God originally designed it to be. A love that is naked and unashamed (Genesis 2:25).
Coming from a divorced family, I vowed to never become like my parents. I was determined to find love and keep it. Even though I knew God my entire life, I never fully included Him in my love life. Rather than “submit” to the “strict rules” that God had when it came to love and relationships, I went off to college and did my own thing. I looked to friends, movies, and shows like “Sex and the City” to teach me about love.
I never took into account how much baggage I was bringing into my relationships, let alone how much more baggage I was creating in the process. With every breakup I encountered, I felt like a complete failure. And because God was not answering my prayer to live happily ever after I became more and more angry and distant with Him.
With each new guy I began to settle less and less. I felt love was what you decided to make it. But deep down, love was becoming a mere fantasy that not even real.
As I was heading into my third year with a guy I was certain would become my husband, he dumped me. I was devastated. Utterly crushed and lost. I lost my future plans, my identity, my everything.
I had no other choice but to look to God. And to finally trust in Him with this thing called love. Slowly but surely, God pulled me in closer. He was able to heal me from my past and restore me for my future. Then, when He deemed that I was ready, He brought me my husband. Only… I had no idea how to date him. Or approach him. Or love him. All while balancing the love I found for myself and God.
Day by day, God showed us how to honor Him through our fears, our pasts, our imperfections, and everything in between. In doing so, we were able to grow closer together, and in love. After dating a year, and engaged for a year, we got married in 2013 and shared our first kiss at the altar! We now have 3 kids and live in our dream home!
Even though I gained two degrees in Health Administration in 2008 & 2009, God made the most transformational impact on me through my love life. If I am going to leave this Earth someday, I want to be remembered for leading women out of their broken love lives and into a life where they wholeheartedly trust God and allow Him to transform their hearts and lives too! Four books later, I share my story and lessons on how women can apply their own faith towards building a life beyond their wildest dreams!
