The Story

Like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.
Psalm 1

Hello Virtual Friend!

It is hard to believe out of so much heartache, God could bring such healing and joy. I brought to the table years of a mistaken view of beauty, sex and love which resulted in an abortion and a very hurting heart. God brought to the table His kindness and mercy. And so a radical encounter with God began a radical life transformation. He gave me beauty for ashes…

Forgiveness produced freedom. Freedom overflowed into a passion for truth. And this passion for truth has exploded into a passion to touch the next generation with a message of hope.

I first told my testimony in 1992. Who knew all that would come from that day weeping in front of a class of high school students? God’s message has expanded to girls’ day camps, college and women’s retreats, marriage retreats, children’s books, the Unhindered book, a weekly class, and a ministry alongside others who are growing with me.

And so the journey continues… It seems like the more we love on God’s  women, the more women God brings to us. We are  just trying to go wherever the Spirit of God leads, because it is His message of hope and healing for which me and the WGR women are grateful recipients.

Jesus has revealed Himself as more beautiful, more worthy of worship and love. And I am forever changed. Perfect love does indeed cast out fear.

Blessings,
