Each of us have a beautifully messy story to tell. A story that might shake us down to our bones or bring us to our knees not understanding why. Naturally we hide these stories scared of what others might think or we feel so alone that we believe nobody will ever understand. It took me awhile to understand why my own story must be told and why I must step out of hiding and let my struggles be seen. I had lived in this lie that we have to look like we have it all together and that shameful mistakes must be buried and never brought up again. The day I finally let my own shame be seen was the same day I was set free from the chains that had held me down for so long. Women contacted me saying that they were empowered by my stepping out and were able to share their own similar struggles that they had hidden for so long. God's grace healed my soul with every word and He put it on my heart to create a platform for other women to share their struggles with hope that wounds could be mended and more chains broken as we all come together and unveil our struggles as sisters in Christ. The women featured here are so unbelievably brave for stepping out and sharing their hearts with you and I pray that you are changed because of them.
