I’m Hillary, a wife, mother, & believer—but first and most importantly, I am God’s.
I am God’s beloved daughter. God’s wife to my husband. God’s mother to my son. God’s hands writing words, gathering flowers, unloading the dishwasher, peeling apples, tending to my loved ones, tending to my home.
Remembering I am God’s in each place shifts how I show up in them. I come as one who belongs. I’m not here to earn my keep or prove I’m worth loving; Christ already did that. His blood earned for me a greater inheritance than anything offered here on earth.
He took my sin and gave me His righteousness, so now I am God’s preacher of grace.
And perhaps, I am God’s friend for you.
My husband and I have been married a long time—almost a quarter of a century. We have one son, our beloved Solomon, my surprise gift at 40 after years of infertility. In the short time since his birth, my little family has gone through many trials, including battered mommy syndrome and intense spiritual warfare. If not for the Lord, we would not have survived.
My walk with the Lord and these life experiences have given me a unique position to mentor and minister to other women who may find themselves in the valley of the shadow. I am not a medical professional nor a licensed counselor, but a prayerful, Spirit-led advisor who will listen and share Christ-centered, Scripture-based guidance as the Lord leads.
I tend to write & talk most about the harder parts of womanhood and faith I have personally walked through. This includes legalism, self-hatred & body shame, sugar addition, unusually difficult seasons of motherhood, spiritual warfare, the gracious chastening of God, and much more. I hope to give other women the same comfort and hope that Christ has brought to me. In 2017, Jesus brought me out of the new age & saved me; in 2020 He made me a mother; and in the years since He has allowed me to experience many hardships in life, health, & parenting that have shaped who I am and what I offer today.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
