Every Sisterhood Has a Beginning...

If you've ever asked God, "Why am I here?" or "Do I even have a purpose?" I want you to know that you're not alone. Those weren't just questions I heard other women ask they were the cries of my own heart. Before there was CWP, before there were Bible studies, apparel, or a community of sisters, there was simply a woman who loved God but couldn't understand why she felt so lost.

After becoming a mother, I found myself battling postpartum depression. It was one of the darkest seasons of my life. I was exhausted physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. On the outside, I smiled and kept going, but behind closed doors I was falling apart. I remember crying so hard that I could barely breathe, asking God the same questions over and over again: "Lord, why am I here? What is my purpose? Did You really create me for something, or am I just existing?" I wasn't questioning whether God was real I was desperately trying to understand why He created me.

There was a small closet in my home that became my refuge. It wasn't beautiful. It wasn't anything special. It was dark, quiet, and hidden. Day after day, I would close the door behind me, fall to the floor, and pour my heart out to God. Some days I prayed. Some days I worshipped through tears. Other days I couldn't even find the words to pray. I just cried. I wasn't asking God to give me a business. I wasn't asking Him to make my name known. I simply wanted His presence because I didn't know how to keep going without Him.

Looking back now, I realize that God wasn't ignoring my prayers in that closet. He was answering them in a way I couldn't yet understand. He didn't immediately explain my purpose or show me the future. Instead, He gave me Himself. In that hidden place, He began healing my heart, renewing my mind through His Word, and teaching me to trust Him one day at a time. He showed me that my identity wasn't found in what I could accomplish but in who I was as His daughter. Every tear I cried, every prayer I whispered, and every moment I thought He was silent became part of the foundation He was building.

Out of that secret place, God placed a burden on my heart for other women. Women who love Him but feel stuck. Women who are searching for purpose. Women who want to understand His Word but don't know where to begin. Women who are trying to stay faithful while walking through hard seasons. CWP wasn't born because I wanted to start a business. It was born because God transformed my life in that closet, and I couldn't keep what He had done for me to myself.

That's why everything you'll find here exists. The Bible studies, devotionals, faith apparel, prayer resources, and The Secret Place Sisterhood all have one purpose: to point women back to Jesus. My prayer has never been that people would know my name. My prayer is that they would encounter the same faithful God who met me on the floor of that closet. If He could bring purpose out of my brokenness, He can do the same for you.

If you've found your way here today, I don't believe it's by accident. Maybe you've cried some of the same tears I cried. Maybe you've asked some of the same questions I asked. I want you to know that the God who met me in my secret place is still meeting women today. He still heals. He still restores. He still speaks. He still calls His daughters by name. And He still has a purpose for every life surrendered to Him.

Welcome to CWP. More than anything, I pray this becomes a place where you don't just discover your purpose you discover the heart of the God who created you for it.
