Welcome to My Heart for You: 

Hi there, friend!

My name is Kelly, and I want to take a moment to welcome you into my little corner of the internet. I’m a wife, a mom of three (soon to be four!), and a passionate follower of Christ. This blog is something I’ve been praying about for a while now, and I’m excited to share it with you!

The truth is, this space exists because of the transforming power of God’s Word and His love for us. My story is one of struggle, surrender, and redemption—and it’s my heart’s desire to share how God has completely changed my life, and how He can do the same for you.

A Life Transformed by God’s Word

I used to live in a place of darkness. For years, I battled with depression, eating disorders, and a sense of hopelessness that I couldn’t shake. I felt like I was trapped in a cycle I couldn’t break, always struggling to find peace or purpose. I was caught up in selfish desires, always seeking validation from the world around me, believing that if I could just look a certain way, or achieve a certain thing, then I’d finally feel enough. But it never worked.

I wasn’t enough. At least, that’s what I thought.

But the truth is, I was never meant to find my identity in those things. And when I finally realized that, everything changed.

In the midst of my pain and struggles, God began to gently speak to me through His Word. One verse at a time, I began to renew my mind. Romans 12:2 became a lifeline for me: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will.”

God showed me that the key to overcoming the darkness was to surrender my mind, my heart, and my life to Him. It was only through His Word that I could truly understand who I was in Christ and begin to break free from the lies that had held me captive for so long.

The Power of Surrender

I remember the moment I first truly surrendered everything to God. I had been holding onto so many things: my desires, my fears, my insecurities, and my plans. I thought I had to have it all together and that I had to “fix” myself before God could love me. But that’s not how it works. God didn’t wait for me to be perfect before He poured out His love. In fact, He loves me in spite of all my mess. And He loves you the same way.

When I fully surrendered my past—my depression, my struggles with food, and all my selfishness—everything changed. I realized that true freedom isn’t found in control; it’s found in surrendering to God’s perfect plan for my life.

Galatians 2:20 became another verse that resonated deeply with me: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” I understood that to truly live, I had to die to my own desires and allow Christ to live in me. I needed to lay down the heavy burdens I had been carrying and trust God with my future. It wasn’t easy, but the moment I chose to surrender, I found freedom.

A Heart for You

This journey of transformation is why I’m here today, writing to you. I want you to know that no matter where you are in your walk with God, there is always hope. His Word is powerful. It renews. It restores. And it frees us from the bondage of lies, insecurities, and pain.

You don’t have to carry the weight of this world on your own. You don’t have to try to measure up to society’s standards. Your worth is found in Christ alone, and when you renew your mind with His Word, you will be able to walk in the freedom He offers.

I’ve learned that living for Jesus isn’t about perfection. It’s about surrender, daily choosing to trust Him, and allowing His grace to cover my weaknesses. And I want you to experience that same freedom. I want this blog to be a place where you can be encouraged, inspired, and challenged to grow deeper in your faith. I want to help you discover your true identity in Christ and encourage you to live out the unique purpose He has for your life.

What You Can Expect

So, what can you expect from this space? Well, I’m excited to share with you a variety of posts that will help you along your faith journey. I’ll be diving into topics like:

• How to overcome struggles with self-worth and comparison

• Practical tips for living out your faith
• Bible studies and devotionals to deepen your relationship with God
• Real stories from my own life, including the highs and lows

But more than anything, I want this blog to be a place where we can grow together. I want to hear from you—your struggles, your victories, and the ways God is working in your life. I believe that we are meant to encourage each other, and I want to create a space where we can do that in a real and authentic way.

My Prayer for You

As you read through the posts here, my prayer is simple: that you would be inspired to dive deeper into the Word of God, to renew your mind, and to discover the freedom that comes from surrendering everything to Jesus. You are not alone in your struggles. God has a beautiful plan for your life, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you discover all that He has for you.

Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to see what God will do in your life as we walk this journey together.

With love and encouragement,
Kelly
