Finding peace through the Gospel of Jesus Christ | Grateful for my Savior and Redeemer & the Plan of Happiness | Divorced mother | #LDS | #SaintsOnX

My Story
I was born and raised in the church. At 26, I married my husband and had one child. What I thought would be a happy, eternal family turned into 17 years of enduring terrible abuse of every kind.

After my divorce, life was incredibly hard. I had been a stay-at-home mom and I suddenly struggled to provide for my child. My heart broke as my child attempted suicide multiple times, while my ex was completely absent due to the abuse to my kid. I stayed active in the church, doing my best to keep my faith alive, even while working a demanding job with 70-hour weeks, including Sundays. Eventually, even after leaving that job, attending church became a struggle.

The frustration of where my life had led, the dreams of the family I never got, and the pain I carried caused me to “give up.” I began dating outside the faith, abandoning the standards I once held, and convinced myself I never wanted to marry again. I never stopped believing the church was true, I had simply lost the desire to care or try. Numbness felt easier… or so I thought.

Then, one day, I decided to pray again. And that simple act changed everything. It changed my heart. It changed my mindset. It changed my future. I’m so grateful.

I loved this talk so much by President Emily Belle Freeman - Young Women General President.

Truly grateful for my Savior. 🤍🩷
