Fourteen years ago I was moving back home after a semester away at college, and was a week late starting somewhere new. It didn’t look like it then, but the Lord was vying for my heart, and helping me get back on the path He had planned for me.

When I was twenty-eight, and on a yoga instructor retreat, the Lord revealed to me what had been holding me back from getting baptized through a song, “Pieces” by Steffany Gretzinger. Before that moment, I was carrying guilt and shame for things I had experienced growing up as a result of suppressed childhood trauma. Once I was able to give the Lord every space of my heart, I began healing in ways I thought impossible.
