Welcome!

Hi there! I am so glad you found our little hub. Gracefully Broken Believer is the best phrase I can think of to describe myself. I have lived through a lot in my 53 years on this earth and learned so much about God and His grace and mercy. I am so humbled when I think of my long road of mistakes and missteps and think about how through it all God has always been with me even in my stupidity!

Once we accept Christ as our Savior and enter into this blessed family of believers, we are truly never alone again! It is such a comfort to me to know that no matter what is going on in life, I always have hope and am never alone.

When I look at every aspect of life- my life, social and cultural issues, my work as a nutritionist and meal prep business owner, my supplement business, my family, my chronic illness, politics, history, all of it- through the lens of my biblical worldview, it helps me to make better choices.

Granted, sometimes I fail miserably and usually feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit immediately, but sometimes I listen to God and get it right. My biggest regret and worst failure of my life is what led to most of my adult experiences. As a teenager I went through a sin/trauma that left me scarred in ways I could not understand for decades. It led to 20 years of food addiction and self-loathing.

Thinking you are worthless and not deserving of love really leads you down a bad path. Only through repentance and the grace and mercy and forgiveness of Christ have I been able to move past it all. Battling my food addiction is what led me to go back to college and study food and nutrition. Now I am so passionate about sharing the the Gospel and healing power of Christ as we navigate life's challenges, recovery, and advancing the pro-life agenda.

Here is the bottom line. My abortion as a teenager destroyed me. I had no idea at the time. But through healing God revealed so much to me. I now get to work with so many women in recovery who tell me that their road to substance abuse or food abuse like me, started with the trauma of abortion in their youth. More about that part of my life later. Suffice to say I love the Lord more than anything and am so so thankful for my salvation and His redeeming love. I love my husband and family and think my greatest accomplishment in life is being a mom. I am proud to be a woman and love and celebrate the beautiful differences in how God made men and women.

I know my time here on earth is just a blip in eternity and that fact helps me weather anything this world throws at me- just a simple gracefully broken believer and follower of Christ!

God Bless!
