MamaHeartfilled

I am first and foremost a mother of eight children. I received my B.S. degree in 2004 and my M.S. in Counseling Psychology in 2009. I have studied primarily in the areas of Counseling Psychology, with minor/ emphasis in Religion/ Christian Counseling. I have personally experienced the healing hand of God in facing many of the issues I discuss in my writing. God has brought me through diverse tribulations during the course of my lifetime, including being a victim of sexual, physical, emotional abuse, a drunk driving accident, spousal pornography addiction, adultery, divorce, remarriage, incarceration, and having experienced several miscarriages and various other trials. Through God's merciful forgiveness of my own sins and the grace given to forgive those who have been a stumbling block, I have overcome these adversities. I believe that God has blessed me with the ability to confront and relate these issues to the Christian community in my writing. I have been called to the homeland mission field of North America and hope to be able to use my writing as a tool for the ministry of witnessing to the grace of God and comforting God's people with the truth of God's mercy. I claim II Corinthians 3 & 4 as my calling, which states: May God be blessed, the very Origin of our Sovereign Jesus Christ, the Origin of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the comfort that we ourselves have been comforted by God. As I myself have received the gift of God's healing, I hope to be able to bring the peace beyond understanding to others in God's Kingdom with the message of mercy and grace. My love for God, along with my passion for writing has drawn me to explore many commonly experienced crisis issues from the perspective of my own experience in the hope that I may bring an empathetic and compassionate insight to God's people. The personal views expressed are strictly my own insights acquired from personal experience and diligent study of the related topics and God's word concerning them. Though I am an ordained minister, my personal views should not be considered authoritative. I believe that the Christian community's ultimate authority is the guidance of the human heart by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
