a little bit about me…
My Story
I was saved at an early age, but really didn’t start getting to know who God was until I graduated college. In more ways than one, God was calling me to Him and leading me to make changes in my life. During this time, God began to pull me away from my then circle of friends (not to my liking) and a long term romantic relationship. While it felt lonely and uncomfortable, I now see that I needed to be pulled aside in order to get to know God more intimately without the distractions. . In the midst of all of that, I harbored unforgiveness in my heart for many years because I couldn’t understand why my father was not a part of my life. That led to years of battling rejection, shame, being overly critical of myself, and unforgiveness. I wondered “why me God”?
I had so many questions for God and the more I studied His word, the more He began to build me up by speaking His purpose and destiny for me. As I started to study the Word more, I began to journal my prayers, my studies, and what God was speaking to me. For many years of my life, I battled feeling rejected, feeling as though I had to prove myself to the world.
Through the years, God began to heal me and unravel His purpose for my story. I was broken to be used for Kingdom building. I was broken so that He could build me up into the woman He needed me to be. I was broken so that others could be set free from my testimony. I was broken because He wanted to build me and breathe His breath and purpose into my life.
Today, I have the joy of allowing God to use me for His purpose. I have the pleasure of seeing the intricate and once painful details of my story become a tool that God is using to bless others and set them free. As an ordained minister, God has given me a heart to encourage and uplift women who are trying to make sense of their beautiful, yet sometimes broken lives.

My Purpose
I hope that as you read and study God’s word, you will also begin to see the beauty in your unique story. I pray that you will begin to see God’s hand guiding you from the very beginning and I pray that you will recognize all the ways He’s using your story to build you into a Kingdom warrior. I pray that Broken For Building inspires you, stirs your spirit, and leads you to grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
