Why I'm Here, and Why This Matters.

Grace is rarely loud. Though not readily tangible, I envision it stitched quietly into the fabric of ordinary days. It is stitched into work that feels unseen, relationships that stretch us, suffering that humbles us and gives us pause, and moments of joy that in our daily hustle we barely have time to name. This space exists to help us notice those sacred threads and learn to live in a way that allows God's grace to shape not only what we believe but how we live. It exists to give grace a platform. A voice. Yes, my voice, sometimes loud and with conviction; other times a whisper that says, "Look. Over there. Notice that."

My voice in this space is shaped by a journey that has not been linear, comfortable, or tidy, and God created me to love the aforementioned adjectives! Instead, my life experience that brought me to this place and time was multidirectional, highly uncomfortable, and downright messy. And you know what? It still is at times. I've learned to come to peace with that.

I come from a Protestant background and spent much of my teen and adult life in ministry. I loved Jesus deeply, served faithfully, and believed sincerely. And yet, over time, questions surfaced about my personal way of worship, church authority, the sacraments, suffering, and the way faith was being lived out in daily life. What followed was not a loss of faith, but a deconstruction that stripped away what was thin, borrowed, or incomplete so that something more rooted could emerge. I created a space to constantly ask myself, "Is this my opinion or the opinion of someone else or of a group?" "What do I believe about that? Why? On what grounds?" It became a "know better/do better" situation.

That journey ultimately led me into the Catholic Church where I encountered the fullness of my faith through the richness of historic Christianity, the beauty of sacramental and liturgical living, and a vision of worship that extends far beyond a single service or emotional experience. After my conversion I became a student of theology through the McGrath Institute at The University of Notre Dame. I'm continuing with courses to gain a Concentration in Catholic Theology with a focus on Church Liturgy. I now find myself constantly in awe of how God’s original design for worship and daily living forms us both body and soul into people capable of real joy and unshakable peace.

I write as someone who has stood in multiple streams of Christianity: a woman who has wrestled honestly and who has found healing not by abandoning faith, but by allowing it to be deepened. I am passionate about education and using my voice because I believe truth is not something to fear or to be dismissed. Yes, a personal relationship with Jesus is paramount and necessary; however, when rightly understood, the study of theology does not distance us from God or a relationship with Jesus. Instead it draws us closer, teaching us how to love Him with our minds, our bodies, and our lives.

At the heart of Grace Rewoven is a burning desire for others to know the abundance that comes from pursuing Jesus not as a self-improvement project, but as a lifelong pursuit of holiness. Sacrificial living, when united to Christ, becomes life-giving. Liturgical living trains our hearts to receive grace again and again. When worship and daily life are no longer separated, everything becomes an offering, and even suffering can be transformed into a place of mercy and healing.

So, welcome. Whether you are a well-versed Christian, someone quietly seeking peace, or you are just here to see what in the world I have to say, I hope that the Lord uses my words to speak to your heart and create even a small change in your perspective on life.
