In 2017, Joseph and I entered a season of deep healing and breakthrough in our marriage. Soon after, my boss died unexpectedly, and the course of my career shifted. By the end of 2018, with Joseph’s encouragement and the Lord’s prompting, I stepped away from the career that had defined me for years.
I became a certified personal trainer and health coach, excited to help others live well. But in 2020, after a warning dream of another wilderness season, the pandemic hit and I lost my clients. Again, God asked me to rest. I had to face questions of worth, identity, and calling.
Over time, God began rebuilding me from the inside out. He drew me into Scripture in deeper ways, taught me through dreams, exposed religious fear, and revealed Himself as kinder and more faithful than I had understood. He taught me to recognize His voice, notice patterns, and trust the deeper work He was doing beneath the surface.
