About the Blog
Some stories will reflect the everyday experiences many of us walk through, because it helps to be reminded that you are not alone.
Other posts will share how I’ve navigated difficult seasons and how God has remained steady and faithful through them all.
Wading in the Stream is a place for honest reflection, quiet hope, and stories of healing rooted in God’s faithfulness. This blog was created to offer encouragement to anyone walking through hard seasons, carrying old wounds, or simply longing to feel less alone in their journey.
Here, you can expect reflections on everyday life, personal stories shaped by grace, and reminders that restoration often happens slowly, tenderly, and one step at a time. My hope is that these words make room for honesty, healing, and deeper trust in the God who restores restless hearts.
Welcome to Wading in the Stream — a space for honest stories, quiet healing, and reminders of God’s faithfulness in every season.
What will Wading in the Stream focus on?
Who am I?
I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother.But above all, I am deeply loved by the Most High.
At this point in my life, I have no contact with much of my immediate family, including siblings, parents, aunts, and uncles.
I experienced both physical and emotional abuse from a mother who, I believe, was doing the best she could while carrying unresolved trauma of her own.
I have forgiven, but forgiveness has not meant staying in relationships that continue to create a toxic environment in my life.
I also believe deeply in counseling for those who have experienced trauma. God opened the right doors at the right time, and the counseling I received helped me become more equipped as a wife, mom, and grandma.
I’ll be sharing parts of my story, including painful seasons, to show how God has faithfully met me again and again.
I come from a medium-sized family, and not everyone has processed the trauma we experienced in the same way. Using a pen name allows me to share honestly while also being mindful not to reopen wounds for family members who may still be healing.
Why a pen name?
