My life, like yours, has been a blend of blessings and challenges. As a daughter, wife, and mother of three, I’ve experienced the profound joy and the constant demands of building a loving family. This year, I celebrate a decade of marriage, a journey filled with shared dreams, laughter, and the deepening of a bond that continues to inspire me. But I’ve also learned that true connection, whether in marriage or within the family as a whole, requires more than just being present; it demands a willingness to dig deeper, to unearth the hidden layers of our relationships and our own hearts.”

My theological training at Fuller Theological Seminary provided me with a rich foundation for understanding faith. Yet, it was the lived experiences—the moments of doubt, the struggles with balance, the quiet whispers of hope—that continue to shape my understanding. I discovered that faith isn’t just an abstract concept; it’s a living, breathing reality that we must actively unearth in our daily lives.

There have been times when I felt lost, when the weight of expectations seemed overwhelming. I’ve wrestled with questions of identity, purpose, and the very nature of faith. But through these struggles, I’ve learned the power of vulnerability, the strength found in community, and the transformative grace that guides us when we dare to dig deep.

“Unearthing” is more than just a metaphor for me; it’s a way of life. It’s about intentionally seeking the hidden treasures of our faith, nurturing the roots of our family relationships, and reclaiming the wholeness that is our birthright. It’s about recognizing that the answers we seek are often buried within us, waiting to be discovered.

Perhaps you, too, are on a journey of unearthing. Maybe you’re searching for deeper meaning in your faith, seeking to strengthen your family bonds, or yearning for a sense of inner peace. If so, you’ve found a kindred spirit.
