WHAT DID MY TRANSFORMATION LOOK LIKE?
My transformation was a process.
I am not just the result of my transformation.
I am the sum of the before, during and after.
My journey made me stronger, while my faith kept me grounded.
Below, is a snapshot of where I was before, during and after as an example of how God can change us through hardship.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
BEFORE
I had been a believer for years. Somewhere along the way in the hardship, I stopped believing God was for me or even with me.
DURING
A neck injury, followed by divorce left me feeling even more abandoned by God, and my attempts to navigate the world on my own proved disastrous. I slowly began to understand the need to let go of control and began practicing trust in God on a deeper level. Good days began to show up, but setbacks were still common.
NOW
Every morning, I wake early enough to spend an hour with God, to sit quietly, to pray, to reflect on where I am with him and in my life and to plan my day. The pain of my past has greatly softened, my gratitude is abundant and peace for where I am today is priceless.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MYSELF
BEFORE
I was aware of my inner compass that wanted to point North, but I felt I had no say in the direction of my life. I didn’t even know how to identify my own love language, of which I learned later I have several.
DURING
I was a bit reckless in my newfound freedom of not being tethered to the demands of others. I made lots of mistakes trying to find my sense of self. And with being slow to heal, I became deeply aware of the need to love myself enough to stop allowing the lies inside my head to determine my worth.
NOW
My sense of self-worth is much stronger and more positive and the self-doubts that come for a visit are no longer a challenge to chase away. I feel more at peace with who I am and am more mindful about what I give of myself to others.

Discover The Faithful MindsetMY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY BODY
BEFORE
For years, I ran myself ragged and took care of my physical needs last. What my body needed was often ignored or put off.
DURING
With an injury and illness, caring for my body became a need, not an option. I began to learn about supplements, rest, self-care and embracing the body God gave me to rebuild my health again.
NOW
Caring for my body with proper nutrition, hydration and exercise is now a regular part of my routine and lifestyle. I feel at my best and listen to my body for what it needs.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS
BEFORE
I was a people pleaser and didn't know how to say, "no". I tried to answer every demand and the guilt felt heavy when I could not. I had no idea that my ability to please others was directly linked to my own sense of self worth.
DURING
I began to realize that pleasing others was exhausting and left me feeling worthless and that the approach to my relationships was not sustainable. I began the painful process of examining my relationships and letting go of the ones that were not healthy for me anymore.
NOW
I treasure the close relationships that remain in my life, and I have learned to allow myself to be loved by friends and family in a much healthier way. I know my value and feel my worth and know I’ll never settle for less again. The memories are still there, not painful, but present enough to keep me humble and living with gratitude.
