We all have asked ourselves,
“What makes me worthy of love?”
And then found ways to answer that question.
Many of us quietly build our identities around our wounds. We become the abandoned child, the infertile woman, the outsider, the one who doesn't fit. We allow rejection, disappointment, or unfulfilled dreams to tell us who we are. And I can relate to all of the above.
My struggles with identity and self-worth have always been closely tied to a deep belief that I wasn't deserving of love. But I know I'm not alone in carrying that burden.
Right now, I’m joyfully immersed in finishing my second book, Defined by Love, to explore this burden and find a better way.
My second book is especially close to my heart. It explores what it means to live from the truth of who God says we are rather than who others, our past, or even religion has told us to be.
At the heart of every chapter is a single question: What makes me worthy of love?
KNOW YOU ARE LOVED!!
JESUS SAYS SO.
Defined by Love is a journey in search of the answer through the stories of people in the Bible, ordinary individuals who wrestled with God to understand who they were and why they existed. I explore the same longings we carry today.
Alongside each biblical story, I introduce a modern-day voice—someone who shares a similar struggle—revealing how these ancient questions still live within us. Then, I invite you, the reader, into their experiences, so that faith becomes more than an idea to consider.
My book communicates through stories and lived experiences because God's love is not something to be theorized; it is meant to be encountered, lived, and known.
