Meet Jennifer!

Hello and welcome to When God Allows! 

What do you do when you struggle with how a "good" God would allow terrible things to happen? That's been my battleground throughout most of my life, a crack in my foundation that I could never seem to fix. 

 As a survivor of abuse, I struggled with how God would allow me to endure such tragedy. I questioned His goodness and His love for me. It was rock bottom through a broken life, a pile of regret, and nowhere else to turn that I met Jesus and the power of His healing. 

Today, I'm a Jesus-loving girl with a heart for bringing the love of Christ to a broken soul. Through my story, I hope to minister to and point others to the healing power of Jesus, share His gospel, and bring light to the ever-present darkness. 

So blessed you're here!
