study reached deep into wounded places of my heart and began the gentle work of healing

I won’t lie, when this study began, I was intimidated. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to open up or feel safe to share the parts of me that felt broken by circumstances, sin and shame. This study reached deep into wounded places of my heart and began the gentle work of healing.

In this season of being a widow in my early 30’s, I have so often felt isolated in the Christian world. Surrounded by people whose lives seem neat, in order and all going according to plan, while mine has felt messy & uncertain.

Through this study I’ve learned that my story still matters, even if it doesn’t look like anyone else’s. There is purpose and there is hope. He has entrusted me with this path and walks it with me. His grace & forgiveness are abundant. His love is tender and kind. He understands. I still have a long way to go, but I feel more equipped after diving deep into His word. I am so grateful for the group of women who offered me compassion, support and a safe space to be real. I am thankful I was brave enough to seek healing and that healing has found it’s way to me.
