She shares “My heart’s desire is to encourage other women. If we walk this life together we can do it better. We live in a culture that distracts us from our main purpose in life. We need to do this “life” thing together if we ever hope to do it God’s way.”

Key Points
- I never dreamed that God had this plan for my life. I always loved connecting with women and walking with them thru the very real things in life that we all go through. {That is where God grew her heart for Biblical discipleship from}
- “I was doing all the good church girl things but I wasn’t living sold out for Him”.
- After walking away from the Lord, seeing others who were in love with Jesus is what caused her heart to claim that she wanted what they had – not just “doing church”. {what a fantastic reminder of our witness to others!}
- But marriage was not a fairytale. Into her second marriage, they had immense struggles with addictions on top of bringing all of their past and crazy childhoods – they just didn’t even know how to do life together.
- The point where everything fell apart and she was sure divorce was coming was the beginning of the “but God” story in her marriage.
- That is where the study she created was birthed from – “I want to change him but I can’t. Let God change him, but focus on changing me. I have a part that’s broken too and what can I do to fix it?”
- At the end, she shares such a beautiful and important message of hope for the hurting wife. Make sure to listen!
God meets us in the darkness where He brings us to a deeper faith and greater hope in Him!

O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life. Lamentations 3:56
So many marriages are falling apart, and women do need resources that are real, that will help them to rise above the pain and be set free with joy while still living in a marriage that is not ideal.
