After 8 years… my memoir is finally here.

There were so many times I didn’t think I would ever finish this.
So many moments I questioned if my story was worth telling… or if I should just keep it hidden.

But God.

"Even Here: Held by Mercy" is more than a book to me.
It’s the story of my brokenness, healing, and discovering that God’s mercy reaches even the places we believe He cannot.

If you’ve ever felt too far gone…
If you’ve ever wondered if God could still meet you in the middle of your mess…

This is for you.

My book is officially LIVE!

Thank you for being here. 🤍

Tomorrow!

“Even Here: Held by Mercy” will be available for purchase on my website and Amazon!

Hitting “submit” was one of the hardest things I have had to do…I was looking at the majority of my life- - the good, the bad, the heartbreaking- - and it’s all in black and white for the world to read…to judge…to KNOW.

But God…EVEN HERE…in this moment was holding me and leading me gently to step into the unknown so He could reach others through me.

I will forever be thankful to be used by God for His heart for people! Won’t you join me in purchasing a copy? If not for you, for someone you know! 🫶🏼

Never let life or the people in it, make you hunger for less of God 👏👏👏
You can have as much of HIM as you want!

I wish I had the talent to draw the imagery I see within my dreams 💗 Last night I dreamt of the most beautiful land, grass greener than you could ever imagine...sky so bright & perfectly blue...the air was sweet, thin to inhale & exhale.

There was a crystal blue river that ran throughout the entire length of the land, so clear I could see the bottom of the riverbed. It was breathtaking!

Then suddenly a large hand, picked Mackie and myself up and we began flying through the air, far above the land. Immediately, I knew it was Jesus who was holding us in His hand. He was talking with us and laughing, we were in awe of the beauty of the land beneath us & His presence surrounding us.

He was telling us to trust Him, as we soared like Eagles. We agreed, how could we even fathom NOT trusting Him?!

"I'm getting ready to place you back down," Jesus said. "You just have to trust me."

We laughed amongst ourselves, everything we saw beneath us was magnificent. There was no place He could put us down that would invoke the need to question our trust in Him!

As we continued soaring with Jesus, laughing and enjoying His presence, we looked down to see a waterfall in the bend of the river. Although just as crystal-clear as the remainder of the river, it was hundreds of feet tall and ferocious in nature.

"Get ready," we heard Jesus say, "I'm getting ready to place you down, but remember, JUST TRUST ME."

"Here?!" I asked, looking at the vastness of the waterfall and how dangerous the base looked as it rolled in upon itself in waves.

"HERE." I heard Jesus reply, as we were lowered down until we were submerged into the river.

It was calm at first, tasting sweet to our mouths as it quenched our thirsts. Mackie and I laughed amongst ourselves even more, how majestic was this moment?! It was beyond our comprehension!

Then suddenly, we were falling over the waterfall! Down, down, down with nothing to grasp at...plunging deep into the current at the base of the waterfall.

Over and over the weight and ferocity of the water turned our bodies and twisted us beneath its pressure. We gasped for air as we heard the encouragement of Jesus' words "JUST TRUST ME".

Finally, we both emerged from the depths of the waterfall and swam to the embankment, pulling each other to the side. We collapsed, breathing heavily as we laid on our backs, staring up into the sky.

We didn't understand why He chose to drop us off in that section, we had to fight the voices of fear within our minds as we fought for our lives in the base of the waterfall...however, we never gave in to the fear and we choose to continue trusting in the one whom we had just soared above the land with.

We were exhausted, but laughing at the experience, sitting up to look around at the gloriousness of the beauty surrounding us. We were so blessed to have been chosen to experience this land and this water with our Saviour and lover of our Hearts!

When I have dreams like that, it's so hard to wake up from them. They are always so REAL and I just want to spend time with the Lord again. However, one day, I know it won't be a dream or vision anymore and I'll be with my King forever. Oh what a glorious day that will be!

Until then, I'll enjoy these breathtaking moments in my sleep, how precious of God to give them to me! 💗💗💗

I look back on all of the moments I thought this, "it wasn't supposed to be this way..." those moments were always filled with remorse and regret, the feelings of heaviness just pushed me down inside my heart of defeated expectations for my life.

However, now when the enemy tries to pull me back into yesteryear and all of the ways I "thought" my life was going to be...instead of feeling sadness, I look up to my Savior who has been so incredibly longsuffering with my stubbornness.

My God didn't have to give me chance after chance to finally get it right. He didn't have to continually call me back into His heart every time I ran from his arms into the arms of strangers, seeking for what only He could fulfill in my life.

My Heavenly Father didn't have to forgive my rebellion, He didn't have to accept my apologies, He didn't have to give me a seat at His table nor a room in His house....

Now when I hear the thought, "it didn't have to be this way..." I don't even think of myself, I think of my Father God, leaning down ever so gently and pulling me into his arms as he holds me and says "my daughter, it didn't have to be this way..."

I have made SO many bad choices in life, so many mistakes, some unknowingly, but most of them out of pride and hurt, rebellion and religion...but my God loved me anyway. He Loved Me Anyway.

I just want to spend every moment of the rest of my life, devoted to Him. Loving Him. Serving Him. Honoring Him. Adoring Him.

So if you are in this moment right now, instead of falling down the hole of remorse and regret, choose to love on God and ask Him how to lead you from where you are now.

No, maybe it wasn't supposed to be this way, but this is the way it is, so how do we hold our head up and continue on? With Jesus. He is the only way. Look up to your Savior today and draw close to Him!

I've been talking to God a lot lately; not in a bragging-way, but because I've truly never loved anyone or anything the way I love Him-way.

I wake up & yearn for Him. Throughout my day, as I'm doing mundane tasks of life, I call out to Him in my mind & my heart..."Father I just want to feel your presence."

It's not that I need anything specific, even though we always do if we're honest, but it's just to hear His voice. It's soothing. It's bold. Sometimes its correctional or even downright comical...but His voice holds all of my pieces together.

And I think back to my life before I TRULY surrendered to God...ya know...before I was "saved-SAVED" and I just don't know how I did it. I don't know how I woke up and just did whatever I wanted to, went where I wanted to, spoke how I wanted to, lived however I wanted to...and I never even consulted my Heavenly Father or his heart for the day.

Not just daily, but weekly, monthly, even yearly...just lived MY life according to MY wants.

I think on that and get saddened, I don't know HOW i did it. There was no hope, there was no purpose, there was no point to it...and it led me to the place of despair I was on the night I died to myself.

December 23, 2016.

That's the night Paula passed.

Wife. Mother. Daughter. Overachiever. Validator. Regular church-goer. Active scripture memorizer.

I prayed to God, "if this is as good as it gets to live a life FOR YOU, if all of this pain and sadness and hurt and confusion is as good as it gets...just take me home."

And I expected it. Ya know, a bolt of lightning. My last breath. I waited. Even then I knew God answered my prayers. So, I waited.

But instead of a lightning bolt, I heard a still, soft voice, "Are you ready to know who I TRULY am?"

I was so confused, so God clarified himself!

"Are you really ready to know who I AM versus who you've been taught I AM and who you've always known me to be?"

And that...that was the moment I died to myself, my past, my concept of church and Christianity.

I took my last breath as a confused Christian and my first breath as a surrendered vessel.

I've never looked back. Not ever.

And I've wrote it all down. The hard moments. The confusing moments. The heartbreaking moments. The shameful moments. The surrendered moments. The defining moments. The revelatory moments.

I wrote them through laughter and tears for all of the world to read. So that every other broken person that comes across my words, will be introduced to the hope in Jesus I found, and they'll yearn for a love like they've never experienced.

Don't let anyone fool you, the love of God is so complex and so intoxicatingly beautiful, you won't ever want to outrun it when you truly experience it.

I don't do what I do or live the way I live so one day I'll get a gold star from my God...no, I live every single moment knowing one day, I will hear "WELL DONE" as HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND ME.

I long for the embrace of my Heavenly Father, for the overwhelming presence of His love that I will no longer be separated from once time is over.

And this, this is why I've kept writing. Even though I wanted to throw it in the trash a blue-million times! But if I can push through, if I can keep on, and my book leads ONE person to repentance, ONE person to knowing hope, ONE person to knowing their worth in GOD, one person mending and developing a true relationship with the one true God...then it'll all be worth it.

Won't it?
