Dawn of Valor
After losing my son and surrendering everything we knew—selling our home along with almost everything we owned and leaving all that was familiar—I’m learning what it means to become a woman of valor. Dawn of Valor is my raw and unfolding journey of grief, faith, and surrender, and an invitation to witness the quiet, extraordinary work of God in a life fully laid down.

This is the episode that makes sense of everything to come.
We just sold our home in Texas. We’re about to sell everything we own and move to Pennsylvania without a clue what we’re doing. But this? This is the story behind the story.
Inside this foundational episode, I share:
— The loss of our son, Valor
— The journey through grief, pruning, and surrender
— The real-time steps of walking with God into unknown places
— The moments that have begun shaping me into a woman of valor
This is raw. This is unfiltered. This is the honest beginning of what I pray becomes a lifeline for others standing on the edge of their own “what now?”
📖 Scripture: John 15 — The Vine. The pruning. The abiding. The fruit to come.
