My name is Sarah and I’ve been married to my husband, Austin, for 5 years. I’m an introvert who enjoys people and I delight in creating memories with those I love. Some of my favorite things in life are being curled up on my favorite corner of the couch with my heated blanket on, journaling, sipping on London Fogs, and engaging in deep conversations. 

While I was growing up, I had a difficult time understanding who God really was. My parents raised me with Christian values, but I found myself questioning them as mental health challenges and broken relationships began to surface. I eventually found myself walking away from Christianity, believing that God didn’t care for me.

After several years of some of the darkest years of my life, I finally confided in my sister about one of the biggest sources of shame for me: having an abortion. I expected her to be disappointed or angry with me, but instead, she met me with compassion and understanding. She told me that Jesus wanted a relationship with me despite my past and even future mistakes. My heart changed that day, and I began to notice that the sin I was engaging in didn't come close to satisfying me the way that pursuing God did.

My hope is that as I share pieces of my personal story, you will discover how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Jesus’ love for you is. I wish I heard someone share on topics such as abortion, mental health, and sex from a place of compassion when I was growing up in the church. So, my mission for this blog is to be raw with you as I talk about these topics from a place of truth and love.
