Hi there!
God has placed it on my heart to be vulnerable with the masses and share my lifelong testimony through this blog. This is a big ask for an introvert who never posts on social media…just sayin’ God.
The name of my blog, Psalm23, comes from one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. It is one of the many scriptures that has gotten me through a litany of physical, emotional, and spiritual battles. Christian artist Leanna Crawford has a beautiful song that encapsulates this scripture called “Still Waters”, which contributed to my inspiration for my blog name.
My journey thus far has been challenging and arduous. Lupus, child loss, grief, kidney transplant, secondary medical issues, perpetual patient, rejection, insecurity, motherhood, near-death ICU stays, medical trauma, vision loss, arthritis, friendship, church community, family support, healing, miracles, God, missing out, struggles at work, finding my identity without work, ministering to others…
My hope is that you or someone you know will find some solace through my writing. It helps to know that we do not walk the path of suffering alone. God is with us and he comforts us. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”(Psalm 23:6)

Book of Psalms – ESV
The Lord Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
