Okay, Willow. I am so excited today to have you share your story with listeners and just to chat about finding healing in our pain. So you say that after being in ministry for many years, God really met you in a counseling appointment that you had, and you began to find healing for a lot of wounds that you didn't even realize were there.
So could you tell listeners about this story and kind of how God met you in that. Oh man. Yeah. Super long story. I'll try to keep it short. But I met Jesus when I was 21 years old, had a radical kind of conversion experience wasn't raised in the church, wanted nothing to do with God and was super broken and found him when I was 21 years old.
Jumped right into ministry, became a youth leader at a local church. Then I was a pastoral intern. Then I went into ministry and, uh, experienced a lot of healing. Then I got pregnant with my first kiddo and decided to stay at home with him and invest in him. And it was in that time of sort of, uh, investing in him, being home all day, leaving my vocational ministry job that I like to say hurt, knocked on my door.
And I went to look out the people and saw this person who had hurt me when I was a kid. And I couldn't open the door. I couldn't bring myself to let them in. And I ran upstairs and I hid in a closet with my baby, and it was this really intense moment where I felt like the Lord opened up the closet door and came in and sat with me in a sense, and really invited me into further healing.
And said, you know, you need to step out of this closet and you need to get healing for your wounds because you're reverting back to who you were as a kid. And this person isn't hurting you, but you're expecting to be hurt. And so you need, you need to go get help. And I stepped out of that closet and called a Christian counselor and ended up in this.
