Why Listen to Me?
You might be wondering… why should you listen to anything I have to say?
Truth is, you don’t have to. I’m nobody special. Just a small-town girl from Newton, Mississippi, who finally decided to take Jesus seriously.
I’ve had my fair share of trouble, starting way back in childhood and following me into adulthood. I’ve been through homelessness, heartbreak, and deep hopelessness. I’ve battled suicidal thoughts, depression, and loss.
I’ve known love and what I thought was love. Happiness and what I thought was happiness. I’ve walked through sexual trauma, emotional trauma, rejection, abandonment, and the kind of grief that makes you question everything.
So no, my life hasn’t been glamorous. And to be honest, it still isn’t. But at 36 years old, in 2025, I’ve found something worth more than anything money could buy:
Real change.
Not the kind of change that just makes your life look better on the outside, but the kind that transforms your mind, your heart, and your soul. The kind only God can bring.
Looking back, I’m in awe of how much trauma once controlled my life, my thoughts, my choices, my identity. And now, I’m in awe of how miraculous God’s healing really is. I had no idea I could experience the deep, intimate, intricate love of the Father. I didn’t know that building a relationship with Him would be the key to finally improving my mental and emotional health.
If you’d told me five years ago that I’d be in the best state of mind I’ve ever been in… I wouldn’t have believed you.
The mind is a powerful tool. If used the wrong way, it’ll lead you into destruction. But used God’s way? It can open your eyes to hope and a future you never thought you deserved.
So again… why listen to me?
You don’t have to. But if any part of my story sounds like yours—if you resonate with even one line—I’d love to build a community with you. A place where we can talk real talk about healing, trauma, faith, and hope. A place where you can be honest, even if you’re still figuring things out.
I’m just a country girl who finally gave Jesus a real try.
And this is just a blog about healing, God’s way.
So let’s walk this out together.
He’s not finished with me yet. And He’s not finished with you either. 💛
