About

Hi, I'm Heather!
So good to have you here.  

🕊️

 

This blog is a record of my halting, hopeful journey into the arms of God Almighty—a journey away from the exhausting illusion of control and toward the peace of surrender. For most of my life, I have tried to anticipate everything, manage everything, and perfect everything. I’ve confused vigilance with virtue. But the Lord, in His mercy, is teaching me a better way.

 

Now, as a wife and mother, I can see how my old habits—driven by fear, pride, and a need to feel safe—kept me from trusting even Him. And yet, Scripture gently reminds us: “Choose life, that you and your children may live.” To choose life is to choose trust. To choose obedience. To lay down whatever gets in the way of loving and worshiping God as He asks.

 

If you’re a fellow Catholic woman—smart, capable, hardworking—and secretly exhausted from carrying the weight of your world, I hope you’ll feel at home here. You’re not alone. Together, let’s learn to lay our plans, our fears, and our striving at the foot of the Cross… and rest in the truth that His plan is better than ours.
