Helping You Discover God's Goodness through Disappointment and Doubt.
Because no one should have to walk through grief and trauma alone. Your dreams. Your losses. Your disappointments. Your suffering. The unexpected griefs of everyday life, there's no controlling them. There's only learning how to lean into God's goodness and trust His redeeming love story for your life. We're in this together.
What I Do
I’m passionate about God’s Word and its ability to reignite hope during times of difficulty. I believe there’s a real God for our real lives who is pursuing us with His goodness. I empower women to find hope and purpose after disappointment and loss, guiding them toward a meaningful connection with God and an authentic faith-filled life.
Let's Connect!
I’m here, not as a scholar or grief expert. I am neither a pastor nor a theologian, I am simply a fellow wilderness wonderer hoping that I’ll give words to your pain, hold space for you to feel, and encourage you to see God’s goodness.
I think, you’ll find a friend in me…

My Story
I’m Lea Turner. I have a husband, and we have five kids. Three grew in my tummy, and two in our hearts. My house is loud and crazy. I moved to Mississippi, making me a northern girl stuck in a southern world. I’ve been writing on my blog since 2015 and then 2019 hit and I stopped writing publicly.
Over a three-year span beginning in 2019, our family experienced death, cancer, losing everything to a house fire, drug addiction, loss of a dream, and undergoing heart surgery. These unexpected struggles transformed my life, leading me through the pages of Scripture to a God who doesn’t shy away from our pain.
As God untangled the lies I believed and replaced them with His truth, He revealed an image of women, just like me, standing at their kitchen sink, grieving…Traumatic loss. A wandering child. Unending loneliness. Divorce. Unexpected job loss. Unfilled dreams and desires.
We all struggle to understand the suffering, but what if we embrace the pain with kindness? This could be our invitation to know more about God.
What’s your story?.
