About Me - What's My Story?

When I was 15, I had just finished a wonderful week at a Christian camp and was on a spiritual high. My parents arrived to pick me up. Before we got in the car, they revealed that things would be different when we got home because they were getting a divorce. Life was never the same after that.

What followed for me were many years of anger, rebellion, bitterness and resentment against my parents and God. I had given my life to Christ when I was eight years old but that certainly was not evident during my early adult years. I did a lot of things I should not have done.

It was not until I found myself in a troubled marriage with someone who loved alcohol more than me that I began to ask questions and seek God. Unfortunately, I was still not living a life surrendered to God and fell prey to lies from the enemy. The biggest lie I believed was that “God just wants me to be happy” at any cost. As though the world was all about me and my happiness. Embracing that lie ended my marriage and put my two kids in the same situation I was in several years before.

It was in the aftermath of my divorce that I finally found my way back to God. Through the fellowship and encouragement of divorce support groups and small groups, I received the support and discipling I needed to return to a healthy, surrendered relationship with Christ.

Since that time, I have not only participated in divorce support groups but led them. I have completed my studies as a Lay Pastor and God has been using me to preach His Word and to minister to others. God is constantly bringing people to me, who are wrestling with separation and divorce. From the comfort God has given me, I am able to offer comfort to those experiencing similar heart ache.

It was not until my daughter asked me about building her own website that the thought even crossed my mind about sharing what I have learned with a broader audience than those in my home town. The idea of figuring out how to build a web site and create the content sounded like a lot more than I could handle. My daughter, however, had discovered SBI. It allows you to build your website without knowledge of html or programming. The simplicity of being able to create content and just paste it into the site builder has enabled me to reach more people with help, encouragement and support than I could have ever imagined.

God has forgiven all my sin and rebellion and is indeed working all things for good in my life because I love Him.

It is my prayer that you will let Him do the same work in you. Allow His forgiveness and mercy to set you free and to bring healing to your broken heart. As He comforts you, may he use you to also bring comfort to others.

Blessings,

Kelly
