After a ‘perfect on paper’ relationship went from bliss to blisters, I found myself questioning everything about myself. The devastating proclamation that I was not good enough sought out like-minded companions in my mental archives and started to weave a narrative of unworthiness through my life. 

In my brokenness, I discovered that as I surrendered my life and my identity to the Lord, I was lifted up and invited on a journey of healing and restoration, rewriting the narrative to one of purpose, hope and undeniable worth which continues to this day. Each day I am equipped with new tools and truths that strengthen my identity as daughter of the King.

I have heard too many other heartbreaking stories with scripts that are far too similar to my own. I began to realise the full extent of damage done by careless words often spoken in an impetuous moment. They leave us fighting emotional and mental battles far beyond the boundaries of the relationships (personal and professional) from which they are uttered. I knew that in learning God’s heart for me, I was learning God’s heart for everyone. 

It is my hope and desire that in sharing my story, I can help others exchange self-doubt for hope, for restored worth as they too learn to see themselves through their Heavenly Father’s eyes.
