Meet Janette

Hi Sweet Friend.

Having an only child despite infertility and pregnancy loss, I held the belief that this was my one chance at motherhood. I had placed my worth in getting it right.

Do you ever feel restless and don’t know where to turn? Maybe you are falling asleep on your Bible. Your heart is more worn and thinned-out than the knees of your leggings for lack of prayer.

I am learning that when I give my limitations over to a loving God, he transforms my pain to produce my purpose. This is what it means to be restored by grace.

I believe you can be renewed in the weary days. My desire is to serve you with resources that will inspire your faith and help you awaken to God’s heart for you.

Let’s be stronger together. You can subscribe below to join our community and receive free grace-filled devotionals for your encouragement.

With grace & peace,

Janette McLaughlin
