Hello beautiful!

Welcome to the Woman of God Blog.

Woman Of God is born out of a deep need to have my identity rooted in Christ. I had spent much of the last decade outside of the grace of God and not enjoying it. In other words, I decided that I would live life my own way, I would pursue things that were popular and fun. My happiness became the most important thing to me and I guess I believed God’s way was too strict or too boring. The popular way, or the world’s way, seemed more enticing to me and I went with it. But soon I found myself struggling with mental health issues: anxiety became always and depression developed into not wanting to be here anymore. And the only solution the world and science could offer me was drugs; ‘medication and acceptance, that is just how it is always going to be,’ they said.

I thought about it, I even tried their medication for a week or two and it was really good. Peace ensued, a quietness settled over me and I felt fine again. But I could not stop thinking that this is going to be the new normal; already on medication at 30? It didn’t sit right with me at all. So it was time to make another decision. Either I would live life dependant upon pills made and administered by by people who care more about money than my soul or… find another way.

I went on a year long journey, stopping off at cannabis and crystals, therapy and hugging trees but nothing really sat right with me. And then, I remembered the Lord. Now, the rest is history.

What that means is, I went on my knees before God and said, Lord, I have tried everything, I am sorry for everything that I did wrong, please help me to make things right, please come and fix everything so that it feels okay again. And Jesus showed up, taught me how to surrender to Him and how to trust Him and slowly, but surely, things are wonderful again. I have to note, I am living a completely different life; same face, same body, same children and husband, same apartment, but the life with in it all has changed. It is so abundant and filled with patience, peace and joy.

That’s just like Christ: ‘When anyone belongs to Christ, they become a new person. Their old way of life has gone. Their new life has begun!’ (2 Corinthians 5:17, EASY version).

So, yeah, Woman Of God! It’s my way to say thank You to my Father who saved me, my soul and my young family. I could never do enough to repay Him, but with the little I have – I offer freely, for His glory! With it may you prosper and enjoy!

All in love; Chaneen x
