From Broken to Purpose | My Faith Story
If you've ever questioned your purpose, wondered why God created you, or felt like you were simply existing instead of living, I want you to know you're not alone.
Those weren't just questions I heard other women ask. They were the questions I wrestled with myself.
Before there was CWP. Before there were Bible studies, apparel, or The Secret Place Sisterhood, there was simply a woman who loved God but was desperately trying to understand who He created her to be.
I went into that closet looking for my purpose. I came out knowing my identity. Everything else God has done in my life has been an overflow of that relationship with Him."
After becoming a mother, I found myself walking through postpartum depression. It was one of the darkest seasons of my life. On the outside, I was doing everything I needed to do, but on the inside I felt completely lost. I loved God, but I couldn't understand why I felt so empty. I remember asking Him over and over again, "Lord, why am I here? What is my purpose? Who do You say that I am?"
Those weren't casual prayers.
They were desperate cries from a heart that wanted to know God and understand why He had created me.
The Closet Became My Secret Place
There was a small, dark closet in my home.
It wasn't beautiful. It wasn't decorated. It wasn't a prayer room that anyone would post on social media.
It was simply the place where I met with God.
I would close the door behind me, fall to the floor, and cry. Some days I worshipped through tears. Some days I prayed. Other days I didn't have the strength to say anything at all. I would simply sit there, hoping God would meet me.
I wasn't asking Him to give me a business.
I wasn't asking Him to make my name known.
I wasn't dreaming about ministry.
I simply wanted to know Him.
I wanted to know who He said I was because somewhere along the way, I had forgotten.
God Didn't Change My Circumstances Overnight...
He Changed Me.
Those moments in the closet didn't instantly remove every struggle.
Healing didn't happen overnight.
Purpose wasn't revealed in a single prayer.
Instead, day after day, Scripture after Scripture, prayer after prayer, God began renewing my mind.
He gently showed me that my identity wasn't found in my emotions, my accomplishments, my past, or the opinions of other people.
My identity had always been found in Christ.
Before God ever revealed what He wanted me to do...
He taught me who I was.
Looking back, I realize that was one of the greatest gifts He could have ever given me.
Because when you know who you are in Him, everything else begins to change.
What I Couldn't See Then...
I had no idea that years later, God would birth CWP from that season.
Honestly, that wasn't even on my mind.
I thought God was simply healing a broken daughter.
I didn't realize He was also preparing me to encourage thousands of women who would one day ask the same questions I once asked.
The Bible studies...
The devotionals...
The faith apparel...
The Secret Place Sisterhood...
None of it started as an idea.
It all began in God's presence.
Everything you see today is simply the overflow of what He first did in my own heart.
Why CWP Exists
People often ask what CWP stands for.
To me, it has always been more than a name.
It is a reminder that we are Created With Purpose.
Not because of what we achieve.
Not because of our titles.
Not because of our successes.
But because God intentionally created every one of us with a purpose that can only be discovered through Him.
That's why every Bible study, every devotional, every conversation, every piece of apparel, and every part of this community has one mission:
To point women back to Jesus.
Because He is the One who changes lives.
If You're Reading This...
Maybe you're where I once was.
Maybe you've cried prayers no one knows about.
Maybe you're waiting for God to answer.
Maybe you're searching for purpose.
Maybe you're simply trying to understand His Word and hear His voice again.
I want you to know something that took me years to fully believe:
God has not forgotten you.
Your waiting is not wasted.
Your tears are not unseen.
Your questions do not scare Him.
And your purpose is not lost.
The same God who met me in that small, dark closet is still meeting women today.
He still restores.
He still heals.
He still speaks.
He still calls His daughters by name.
And He is still writing beautiful stories for those who choose to seek Him.
Welcome Home, Sis.
If my story leaves you with anything, I pray it leaves you with this:
Don't chase purpose chase Jesus.
Because when you seek Him, He has a beautiful way of revealing who you are, healing what has been broken, and leading you into the purpose He planned for you all along.
Thank you for being here.
I'm honored to walk this journey with you, but even more than that, I'm honored to point you to the One who completely changed my life.
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."
Ephesians 2:10
