Why I’m Here: Anchored in Faith

Faith has been the foundation of my life for as long as I can remember.
I was raised to love God and grew up in the church, surrounded by people who modeled what it meant to live a life anchored in Him. Some of my earliest memories are of Sunday mornings spent in pews, being an active member of our youth group, and singing hymns. Over the course of my teenage years, my big brother would pick me up each morning so we could attend early morning mass before dropping me off at school. Wednesdays always meant catechism. It was just part of life — week after week, showing up, learning, and growing in my faith without even realizing how much it was taking root in me. At home, faith was just as alive; especially with my mother. Then there was my big sister. Every night before bed, she would lay beside me and teach me how to pray — patiently saying each prayer with me, night after night, until it became a part of who I was. Together, they each left fingerprints on my faith, shaping it in ways I’m still grateful for today.

Over the years, my relationship with God has grown and stretched, just like I have. There have been seasons when I felt so close to Him, and others when the noise of life made it harder to hear His voice. But no matter the season, my faith — the steady, quiet confidence that God is who He says He is — has always been there, anchoring me.

Recently, I have felt a strong, unmistakable calling to share my faith with others. Not because I have everything figured out. Not because I have all the answers. But because sharing strengthens my faith. Every time I talk about what God has done in my life — every time I lift His name higher — my own heart is reminded of His goodness, His faithfulness, and His love.

That’s why I’m starting Anchored in Faith.
Because life is unpredictable.
Storms come. Waves rise. Winds change.
But when we are anchored in Christ, we are steady — not because of our own strength, but because of His.

I don’t know exactly where this journey will lead, but I believe that God does. My hope is that this space becomes a place of encouragement — a place where we can be honest about our struggles, celebrate the victories, and hold onto hope together. I believe that faith grows stronger when it’s shared, and I am excited to see how God will move through this space.

One of my favorite verses speaks so perfectly to this truth:

Thank you for being here.
I can’t wait to grow together — anchored, steady, and full of hope.
