About My Blog

Hi, I’m Jessica.

I have always had a heart to serve God, both within the community I live in and across the world. Over the years, that calling has led me into international mission work, local ministry, and service that requires deep trust, humility, and obedience. This blog was originally created to share stories from those experiences and the ways God met me in places that stretched my faith and shaped my understanding of compassion and surrender.

For the past seven years, that same heart for service has been lived out through my work with Human Coalition, where I have had the honor of helping support women facing unplanned pregnancies and advocating for the lives of preborn babies. Walking alongside mothers in moments of fear, uncertainty, and courage has profoundly shaped my understanding of love, dignity, and the sacred value of every life.

Over time, the mission field changed again.

Today, this space holds a much more personal journey: walking through pregnancy, love, grief, and anticipated loss with our son, Ethan. His life, though expected to be brief, has already transformed me. Through him, I am learning again what it means to trust God when the outcome is not the miracle I prayed for, to sit honestly with lament, and to believe that a life’s value is not measured by its length.

This blog is not about having tidy answers. It is about choosing faith in the middle of heartbreak, honoring a child deeply loved, and sharing what it looks like to walk with God when the road is painful and holy all at once.

Here you will find reflections on faith, motherhood, loss, and hope, written with reverence, honesty, and the belief that God is near, even here.

A Gentle Note for First-Time Readers

Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.

Before you continue, I want to gently share that some of the writing on this site includes discussions of pregnancy, medical complexity, and anticipated infant loss. I share these stories thoughtfully and prayerfully, but I also understand they may be tender or difficult for some readers.

Please take care of your heart as you read. Step away if you need to, and know that you are always welcome to return when the time feels right.
