Welcome to My Steadfast Love
Here is life lived real. I don’t have all of the answers and don’t even pretend to. But
I have lived and I have learned. And what I have learned is that in the midst of the pain, in the midst of life, in the midst of the chaos is a calm and a peace that cannot be measured, a love greater than you can imagine. Here you will find stories of healing and hope. A desire for better, for more from ourselves, a desire to grow and change into more than we thought possible. Join me as I share my personal experiences of healing from a trauma that rocked my world. I focus on everything from mental health and faith to just plain living in the hopes that it can provide someone else with hope and healing . We were designed to live this life together and are best served when we can find support in our journeys. So please, won’t you join me now?
Call me loved
Here I share my story of an affair. From the discovery to the healing and everything in between and why I chose to stay. I warn you though it’s raw, it’s emotional but it’s also real. There is a realness in vulnerability and it’s only from that state that healing can come.
Why My Steadfast Love?
My steadfast love comes from the Bible. Throughout scripture is the theme of God’s unchanging, never ending, steadfast love. Specifically it comes from Psalm 103. This was a psalm that stuck with me throughout my healing process and even now. It’s a psalm that never gets old and always provides solace and comfort. Verse 4 says “who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.” I don’t know what you’ve gone through to get here and honestly, I’m not here to argue with you , change you, plead with you or convert you. I simply want to offer hope. A hope that there is so much more beyond the pain, so much more to this life. I can tell you that there was a time…what seemed an extremely long time that my life seemed like it was in a pit. Honestly, it seemed worse than a pit. It seemed like a never ending pounding into that pit where I was being crushed and suffocated by everything around me. I so love the psalmists imagery in so many things and I absolutely love the human emotions woven throughout. You see ultimate devastation. They do not hide from it, it is real and it hurts. Their very soul cries out. If that is not someone you can understand and connect with and learn from I don’t know who is. I’ve gained so much just immersing myself in the psalms and understanding that it is ok to hurt. Everyone does. Everyone experiences devastation. I am not unique in that. You are not unique in that. We are all in this together. So I wanted that to be my focus on this site. I am not perfect … no one is. But I am one who has experienced pain and devastation and I have also experienced the hope that pulls me through. He redeemed my life from the pit and crowned me with his steadfast love and mercy. I can not say it more beautifully than that and I want that for you. My hope in this is that you will taste and see His goodness and comfort and love. My hope is that you will experience His steadfast love for your own life.
