The main purpose of this blog is to help Christian women to reclaim their hope (faith in God’s promises), find healing, and learn to live in peace (with boundaries) after divorce. But sometimes our biggest struggle in healing ourselves is helping our children to heal from the shock, heartache, and feelings of abandonment after. They experience everything too. And sometimes…

Who are YOU? Are you who people say you are? Where do you find your worth? Where does anyone find their worth? Truthfully most of us find our worth in what people say about us, how people see us, and how those closest to us treat us. Or… what our “image” says that we are. Divorced?
