My Journey: From Broken to Redeemed...
For nearly twenty years, I lived in a painful, self-imposed silence. After facing unthinkable profound childhood trauma, I believed the cruel whisper that I was too dirty and too broken to be worthy of God’s love. I turned my back on the Savior I had accepted as a young girl, hiding behind the walls of my past.
But God never truly left me.
Through years of running, a painful divorce, and the beautiful gift of motherhood with my son, Chris, God was quietly waiting. It wasn’t until the darkest night of my life—when I lost Chris in a sudden, devastating wreck—that I fell to the floor, completely broken, and cried out: “God, help me.”
In that exact moment, He didn’t meet me with judgment. He met me with an overwhelming embrace. He whispered to my spirit: “Be still my lost and broken child. Chris is with me, and I so love you.”
Jesus didn’t just mend the pieces of my shattered life—He completely made me whole again.
The Message: Love, Hope & Healing
On Easter Sunday, 1983, I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ. Doing so turned my world inside out and set me on a path to where I am today: international speaker, author and encourager.
I’m proof that—through Jesus, anyone can overcome a painful past. Triumph over fears. Make a significant difference in God’s Kingdom. Experience a new you.
As you can see—God isn’t done with me yet. Like you, I’m a work-in-progress. Isn’t that good news? Good. I think we’ll be friends.
