Psalm 139:14: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Welcome to Free Your Heart

When I was eight years old, my world changed forever after my daddy died suddenly from a heart attack. In the middle of the heartbreak and uncertainty, my mom told my older brother and me, “The Good Lord will take care of us.” I didn’t really know who Jesus was at the time, but something deep inside me wanted to know this “Good Lord” she spoke about.

So every Sunday morning, I would get up, put on my dress, and walk to church alone. I stayed in the sanctuary instead of going to children’s church because, even though I didn’t understand the sermons, I knew that was where I needed to be. That sanctuary became a safe place for my heart — a place where peace somehow found me in the middle of grief.

As I grew older, I stayed involved in church, youth groups, and Christian camps. I knew about Jesus, and I knew He was good, but I didn’t yet understand what it meant to truly know Him personally.

Then life took me down a very different road.

For many years, I ran hard and fast away from God, searching for worth, healing, love, and identity in all the wrong places. Beneath it all was deep pain, brokenness, and the belief that I was no longer worthy of God’s love.

After years of struggling with severe depression, I reached a point where I realized nothing in this world could heal what was broken inside me. Medications numbed the pain, but they could not restore my heart. It was there — in the middle of my darkest season — that I truly met Jesus.

Not religion.
Not rules.
Jesus.

And He changed everything.

Healing didn’t happen overnight, but little by little, Jesus began unraveling every lie I believed about myself and replacing those lies with truth. Shame gave way to grace. Fear gave way to peace. Hopelessness gave way to freedom.

For more than twenty years now, I have been walking a journey of healing, restoration, and freedom with Him — discovering that true wholeness comes when we allow God to heal the wounded places in our hearts and remind us who we truly are.

That is the heart behind Free Your Heart.

This is a place for the weary, the wounded, the anxious, the grieving, the overlooked, and the ones silently carrying pain no one else can see. It is a place for those longing to be free from depression, anxiety, shame, fear, rejection, unworthiness, and the heavy burdens they were never meant to carry alone.

I know with all my heart that Jesus still heals.
He still restores.
He still sets hearts free.

God created each of us with beauty, purpose, and unique design, but life wounds us, and those wounds often shape the way we see ourselves. The enemy wants us trapped in fear, shame, and brokenness, but Jesus came so we could live in freedom and fullness of life.

My prayer is that through this space, you will encounter the love of Jesus in a real and personal way — and that as you open your heart to Him, you will begin your own journey toward healing, wholeness, and freedom.

You are not forgotten.
You are not beyond healing.
And you are deeply loved.

Welcome to the journey of freeing your heart.
