Hi, I’m Janelle.

I write stories and share them with you.  You may not know this yet but I’ve lost over 100 pounds and have kept them off for 7 years now.

I’m here to share my transformation story with you. I’m a writer, mentor and missionary on fire for Jesus, I’m on mission to help people. He is first in my life and has empowered me to overcome many hurdles, hiccups, and hurts. My calling is to empower, encourage and engage you in your own God story. Here you will find my favorite inspirations, encouragement and love given in the most authentic way and uniquely presented. 

My mission is to encourage, engage, empower, and equip you to discover who God created you to be.


God has made each us with a special uniqueness all our own.  I am a firm believer and ascribe to His truth.  I believe in you and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.  God is without a doubt alive and at work in this dark world. It takes a special “seeing and hearing” to know Him and allow change in your life. Stick around, I’ve taken some notes and want to share them with you.

What is happening in your life is by His divine design because He saw today.

Come on in, get comfortable and let’s swap some stories.  We can grow together for His glory.  I look forward to connecting with you, sharing with you, providing inspiration, and walking along side you in your daily journey to notice the beautiful fruit from your life.  I’m encouraged when I see you growing.  I call myself the Chief Encouragement Officer for women who are struggling in their identity in Christ. By His grace, you are priceless. No one compares to you, if you believe in Him, and you can know you Him intimately. God has given this mantle of ministry to the church to build each other up and to reach into each another’s life with a fresh dose of understanding and compassion. 

The reality is we are all searching for something to fill our lives be it happiness, contentment, fulfillment and love.  We search high and low and sometimes find it but it doesn’t last long.  I once settled for second best in my life and was content with what I thought I was destined to…a life of pain and heartache. I exchanged my desires and food won. Then one day food wasn’t enough anymore.  I took ownership of my life, cried out for help to the Lord, and surrendered my desires to overeat to Him.  When I had nothing left but God, He was all I needed to grab my hand and move forward with my life. So, I want to help you get back up and find your way again. It’s in the journey forward do we find the answers we desperately crave. 

We all have a story hidden within that needs to get out into the world. No matter what you need, God will meet you right where you are right now, and take you where He wants you to go. We all need grace to meet us on that dusty prodigal road.  What I found was my Savior’s loving embrace complete with a ring and a robe.  Each story of grace is full of struggles. This place exists to help hold up your arms, to cheer for you, and give you an encouraging boost. God wastes nothing and will wait for you to join Him in this Kingdom work.

Welcome Home:
You are braver than you know
Stronger than you seem
Smarter than you think and
Loved more than you know.
Hope doesn’t let your story end.
