Heidi-Ho Friends and Family! Wow! How excited I am that you chose to come to my page and learn a little more about me. Thank you so much! Can you believe I am releasing this website after years (since 2013) of prayer and planning? It feels soooo good to let it out! I can, however, understand why God kept me in hiding for so long because this girl had some major work to do. Whew! I was a HOT MESS!
Insecurity had been a pretty large piece of my life for years. When comparing myself to several school-aged girls, I told myself at eight years old I would never be good enough…I would never look like them. My course dark hair and uni-brow didn’t measure up to my flowing blonde-haired, blue eyed friends. It was in that moment I grabbed ahold of a lie I had lived as truth for twenty long years. My search for things and people to help secure me became a venture resulting in many scars. Racking up thousands of dollars in debt to maintain an attractive look, people pleasing, failed relationships, starving myself to achieve a certain figure, and striving for perfectionism left me tired and without purpose. I didn’t know who I was, what I liked, or even what I stood for.
With a culmination of several events weighing me down, I had no choice but to begin a journey in discovering who I was in Christ. Boy, did this come with its own set of uncomfortable vulnerabilities… that I am so thankful for! Christ stripped me by gently exposing my flaws and loving me back to wholeness. I am so thankful He shed my layers of insecurity, allowing me to boldly express myself in the image He created me to be- like Him. I am happy this website introduces the true, corny, classy, beautiful, passionate and loving ME without apology. Thank you for joining me!
