There are some stories you write because you want to. Then there are stories you write because you have to.
Still I Found Grace was written from a place of pain, healing, reflection, and gratitude. For a long time, I carried pieces of my story quietly. The broken places. The unanswered questions. The moments I wished had never happened. The seasons where I felt forgotten, rejected, and overwhelmed by circumstances I didn't choose.
Like many women, I learned how to survive before I ever learned how to heal.
I know what it feels like to smile while carrying heaviness inside. I know what it feels like to question your worth because of what you've walked through. I know what it feels like to wonder if your past will always speak louder than your purpose.
But somewhere in the middle of the hurt, I discovered something I didn't expect.
Grace.
Not the kind of grace that says life was easy or that pain didn't leave scars. I found the kind of grace that met me in the middle of my mess. The kind that sat with me in loneliness. The kind that reminded me that God was still present, even in seasons where I couldn't see Him clearly.
That is where the title came from.
Not I Found Perfection.
Not I Found Answers.
Not I Found an Easy Life.
Still I Found Grace.
Because despite everything that happened, despite every mistake, despite every disappointment, despite every season where I felt like I was losing pieces of myself... grace kept finding me.
I wrote this book because I know I am not the only one.
I wrote it for the woman who feels like her story is too broken.
For the girl trying to heal from things she never talks about.
For the mother carrying guilt.
For the woman rebuilding her life.
For the person silently asking, Can God still use me after all of this?
The answer is yes.
I want readers to understand that our stories do not disqualify us. Sometimes the very thing we wish we could erase becomes the testimony that helps someone else breathe again.
Healing is not always instant. Sometimes it comes in layers. Sometimes it comes through tears, prayers, conversations, and quiet moments with God. Sometimes it comes through finally deciding to tell the truth about what you've survived.
Writing Still I Found Grace became part of my own healing journey.
And if one woman reads it and realizes she is not alone, if one person finds hope again, if one heart remembers that God still sees them, then every vulnerable page was worth it.
Because even through brokenness...
still, I found grace.
Reflection:
Have there been moments in your life where you can look back and say, "I didn't understand it then, but grace was carrying me through it?"
