THE HEART BEHIND RFBC
When I begin to think about my testimony and who I was before Jesus, it always shocks me how much He can truly take the most broken things and turn it for good; that’s what He did for me.
I walked in so much darkness in my high school and college years, making mistakes that i desperately regret, living a life full of insecurity and fear, and eventually falling under the chains of an eating disorder, desperate to find acceptance in all the wrong places. I was in the pursuit of figuring out answers to the daunting questions of “what am i made for, why am i here?” and I began my spiritual journey. I have tried new age practices, believed in the universe, sought out any sort of enlightenment or nirvana, the list goes on and on friends, truly. In that searching, I have never felt so alone, felt so much weight, and so much darkness. It was like everything I was trying to do was leaving me even more empty.
In the process of it all, God was behind the scenes, softening my heart and leading me to Him.
It wasn’t until I got saved in college, after I moved to San Diego, did I know the true love and pursuit of God.
Living in a college town, right near SDSU, you become familiar fast with the party scene and it begins to seem completely normal and a right of passage. Yet, something felt off. I began to really see that there was way more to life than partying, looking pretty, hooking up, drugs or drinking alcohol or even trying to be your own “god.”
I wanted something real, I knew there was something bigger out there than me.
I finally understood when the love of Jesus crashed into my room one night.
It was like all the lights came on and I finally understood that only He is the way, the truth and the life; everything else before Him was deceiving and a counterfeit of the real thing.
Only He stands as Almighty, All-knowing, and All-powerful.
I have never met a love like this before, a love that held me and took care of all my wounds and cleared all of my shame. I knew that I wanted to give my life to Him and live a life that is so desperate to make Him known to others; His true, unconditional love.
I finally understood the difference between what a relationship looks like vs what religion looks like.
I have realized that He is worth giving everything up for, He is worth submitting to and worth surrendering to.
In Him, there is only light and goodness.
Now, what led me to create Reformation Body Co. is the absolute drive and passion found in God’s heart for His daughters all around the world.
I feel the ache to build community, to encourage and lift up others in our culture, to empower woman to boldly walk in their faith, to speak life and help others do the same, to share the lessons I have learned from God and see darkness come to light in this world.
I am so passionate for being a voice in our culture today and creating a space for woman to have a faith-based program where they can log on, build healthy habits, community and learning to take care of themselves in an honoring way.
This platform is designed be an all around mind, body and spirit approach. God has made us from our head to our toes, our souls, our personalities, etc, and it is so beautiful to be able to take care of that and also glorify Him in the midst of it all.
I have walked with young girls in ministry for almost four years. I have walked with girls who struggled with body image, relationship issues, family issues, self harm, diseases and illnesses, and those who were believers and those who were not yet. I have had the honor to speak in different countries, speak at local schools, clubs and our church. I have seen the way the Lord has opened up my eyes and burned this desire in my heart to see young girls understand their identity in Jesus and the freedom that is available to them.
