My Heart for Better Together

Hey there! I’m Regenia, and I’m so glad you’re here!

I live in the Midwest, but I’m a southern girl at heart. I love the hospitality of the south, and I always have. My dream as a little girl was to live in the south, in a big farmhouse with lots of kiddos and lots of love running through my home.

Though I never did make the move to the south (yet!), I still dream of the days that put this vision in my heart. As a young girl, I spent a lot of time on my grandparent’s farm, and though they didn’t have a lot of money, there was always room at their table. I remember driving to their property and the cares of life just dissipating. My grandmother’s hospitality was something I knew I wanted to emulate.

Their farmhouse, as small as it was, always had room for one more. The sounds and laughter and chaos that filled the home is still something I treasure in my heart today.

The influence my family had on others through relationship, is what has helped form me into who I am today, and for that, I’m grateful!

I am married to my best friend, David. We have been married for 36 years and have four children: two daughters and two sons.

However, I am a broken individual in much need of God’s grace, just like you. My baggage and struggles may look different than yours, but really without Jesus, we are nothing. He is the Lover of my soul, and through Him we are more than overcomers.

Several years ago, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. It’s very real, and if you’ve struggled with it, you know what I’m talking about. The diagnosis was the beginning of a journey I still walk today. You will find this intertwined in some of my writing. My goal is to be transparent, real, and relational, just like my grandparents were in their home. I pray somehow God can allow that to happen through a screen. I never want to make it sound like I have it together or that I am more advanced than someone else, because I am not.

I’m still learning that when I surrender it to Jesus open handed, it goes much better. So if you think you’re going to find a Godly woman without wounds and scars, you may just want to pass me by and move to the next writer. I have been hurt, wounded, disappointed, and questioned my own faith over the last 13 years more than ever. But, I have found Jesus to be consistent even when life is not. I am more in love with Jesus, His grace, and His ability to use our broken pieces than ever before.

God placed this dream in my heart to have a space to encourage women, though I don’t have it all together, I am here to say, on this space you will find a real woman with real struggles, who loves Jesus, loves people, and has a desire to minister to women in all walks of life. I desire to encourage women to come to Jesus daily, sit at His feet, read His word, allow Him to minister to you and grow you no matter your season of life. Let’s get Better Together as fall more in love with Jesus.

For Him,
Regenia
