Textauszug

Chapter 1:
Divine Design

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.

–Ephesians 1:18

When I was a little girl, I understood that there was a point to everything. I knew that we were all special, and that someday, I was going to find out why. From that moment on, I began a search to find truth, to find meaning, and to understand what life was all about. Even as a child, I considered myself a pretty deep person, and as a result, I was extremely uncomfortable with mindless conversation. I wanted to go deep with just about everyone I met, but unfortunately for my younger self, not everyone felt the same way. I remember always wanting to counsel my friends and give them advice, a desire that I myself didn’t really know the origin of. And yet, I did know that it felt divine, and judging from the responses of my friends, I could see they felt the same way.

In my memoir, Daughter of a Genius, I wrote about growing up with what I called “spiritual” parents. At the time, I didn’t really know what that word meant—it was just the label I gave it. What I did know was that my mission in life was to chase down truth… and maybe chase a little bit of fun along the way. Okay, let’s be honest—probably more than “a little.” It was too much, in fact, and it led me down some dark paths.

Then, in 2011, my world was turned upside down. My father—brilliant, complex, and mysterious—passed suddenly and seemingly without explanation. That moment became a turning point, a crack in the ground that shifted the entire trajectory of my life. I share that story in far greater detail in Daughter of a Genius. Here, I have another story to tell.

In 2018, my life was interrupted in the most unexpected way. I was sitting on the floor of my office—just another ordinary day, weighed down with ordinary worries—when Heaven broke in. I didn’t stumble into God through a theology class or clever arguments, and I wasn’t searching in that moment. He came for me. Uninvited. Unexpected. Undeniable.

Suddenly, on that cold office floor, I was wrapped in a love so fierce and so gentle that it undid me completely. It wasn’t abstract or sentimental—it was alive. It was Him. A Presence so real I could feel it coursing through every wounded part of me, mending places I didn’t even know were broken. For the first time in my life, I knew I was seen. I was understood. I was forgiven. And I wept. I wept until it felt like every tear I had ever held back was finally finding its release in the arms of a God I never thought I would meet. A God I never truly knew existed.

In one moment, everything I thought I knew collapsed, and a new reality took its place: Jesus is real. He died. He rose. And—beyond anything I could fathom—He loves me. Not the polished version of me, mind you. Not the performance-driven version that smiles while silently breaking. Just me—raw, ordinary, flawed me. And that love was unlike anything I had ever known. It was not the imperfect love of parents, not the conditional love of a spouse, and not even the deep love of my children. This was something altogether different—a Father’s love. Pure. Healing. Eternal. Once I tasted it, I knew I never wanted to live a single day without it. And the miracle is, I haven’t had to.

For the past seven years, I have been on a journey with Him. Sometimes it feels like a roller coaster, sometimes like a desert. Sometimes it’s like flying with a joy so pure it takes my breath away. It has been wild and holy, unpredictable and beautiful. And on it, I’ve learned who God is and who He is not. I’ve also learned who I am, and who I am not. And though the path has been anything but easy, it has been the most real and freeing adventure of my life.

As I began to shed the “old” me, the work inside truly started. I prayed for guidance, deliverance, and healing. I saw miracles and heard God’s voice in profound ways. And by listening to Him, after many questions at times, it led to beautiful things. The more I listened and was obedient, the more life I saw, the more freedom I experienced, and the more understanding I gained. God is not distant. He is not some abstract mystical figure floating in the clouds, nor a cold and condemning judge forever pointing His finger in anger. He is personal. Intimate. Near. He is a Father who knows your name, your laugh, your tears, and even the thoughts you’re too afraid to say out loud.

Yes, He will guide and correct us—but never to shame, never to belittle, and never to break us down. His discipline is the kind that comes from love, the way a parent gently takes a child by the hand when they wander too close to danger. It is the loving redirection of a Father who longs to protect, to nurture, and to lead us toward life. When He says “no,” it is not rejection—it is rescue. And when He says “yes,” it is because He delights in watching His children flourish.

This is who He is: a God who doesn’t push you away, but pulls you closer. Not to punish you, but to guide you into freedom by way of sheer love.

See, when we truly understand the identity of Father God, we can begin to understand our own identity. We stop looking to the left or to the right, and we start looking forward to the path in front of us—the path that was perfectly crafted just for us. And then suddenly, things start to make sense. You realize, Oh, I wasn’t supposed to look like that after all, or Thank God I didn’t get that job—because if I had, I would have been miserable. It’s as if the pieces you once thought were broken start to fall right into place. The Bible tells us that God is always working on our behalf, weaving even our messes and missteps into a story that turns out for good. So, those mistakes you think have ruined your life forever? That voice that tells you it’s too late to turn back? It’s all a lie. And right now, in this moment, I lovingly invite you to stop agreeing with it.

Later in this book, we’ll uncover those hidden lies together—the lies we’ve believed about ourselves, about our worth, even about others. But the very first step toward freedom is simply this: to realize that another way exists. You don’t have to stay trapped in what you’ve always believed. And the even better news? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Truth has a way of finding you.

As we continue, I encourage you to keep a journal by your side. Write down whatever surfaces—memories that come back, fears that rise up, old beliefs that suddenly don’t feel so true anymore. Also, be sure to complete the “Respond & Reflect“ section at the end of every chapter. Don’t push the process away. Don’t ignore the gentle nudges. Be willing to walk through it, even if it feels hard at times. Because freedom doesn’t come by accident—it comes when we lean into the work God is doing in and through us. And trust me: the hard work of healing always pays off.

Throughout the book, I will be sharing stories and profound encounters that are relevant to healing, growth, and pivotal turning points that lead to change. Most importantly, I will be sharing a change of heart, because as the Bible says, everything we think, feel, and do flows from the heart.

My dearest hope in opening up my heart—sharing not just the highlights, but also the vulnerabilities, struggles, and painful crossroads I’ve faced—is that my story will serve as a mirror. I want it to be something that you can find a reflection in, with the pieces of your own life taking clear shape with every passing page. My prayer is that as you read, the Holy Spirit will whisper to you, guiding you into all truth, and reminding you that God sees you in every single moment.

The truth is, you have never once been alone. And even in your loneliest moments, somewhere deep inside, you’ve always known this. But, of course, life has a way of making us forget, doesn’t it? We get swept up in the noise, in the endless scrolling, in the striving after things that glitter but never truly satisfy. Slowly, without even realizing it, we drift. We lose our compass. And when we lose our compass, we begin to lose sight of why we’re even here.

I’m sure you’ve been there. Maybe you took a path that seemed right at the time, a shortcut that looked promising, only to wake up years later, wondering how you ended up so far from the life you once imagined. Maybe you’ve stared into the mirror during a so-called midlife crisis, asking yourself questions you never thought you’d ask: What happened to me? How did I get here? Did I take all the wrong turns? The ache of regret can feel like a weight on your chest.

But let me tell you something with certainty: This is not the end of your story. There is always a way back. I don’t say this as someone who has it all figured out—because I don’t. I stumble, too. I fall, and I get it wrong more often than I wish I did. The difference is this: I’ve chosen to listen to that small voice pressing on my heart. I’ve chosen to believe that when the path feels irrational, impossible, or even foolish to those looking in from the outside, there is a greater plan at work. Through every detour, every heartbreak, every unanswered question—God has been writing something purposeful. And He is not finished with you yet.
