The story of my life is not a smooth straight one. Nevertheless it has been an interesting journey and I’m grateful to say that I have no regrets.
I was born in New Delhi, India. When I was 18 months old we moved to Washington D.C. We moved again when I was five, to Brussels, Belgium. I was raised in Belgium until I graduated from high school. I then flew across the continent to go to college in the United States (Boston College).
After graduating from college, I did a one year Fashion Merchandising Management program and landed in a job with a reputable fashion designer, David Josef. It was during this time I met my husband, Will. We were married two years after we met, and had three children immediately after.
In the 12th year of our marriage our marriage was almost destroyed by the devourer. My husband and I were separated for 18 months. During this separation we both met Jesus Christ and committed our lives to Him, and recommitted to one another.
Thanks to Jesus Christ our marriage was saved.
We recently celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary, praise be to God! Our marriage has faced many hardships, and it hasn’t been easy, but we have learned that love is a choice, a choice to stay committed, a choice to forgive, a choice to understand, and a choice to not give up. It takes two people making these choices consistently. Will and I both value marriage, taking our vows before God seriously. We also have a genuine love for one another, a love that is different than what the world would say love is.
I am so grateful that we chose to stay together. I love growing old together.
We have three beautiful young adult children and two darling daughters in law. They each have a sincere love for the Lord. There truly is no greater joy than this (3 John 1:4). And glory to God, we recently became grandparents! Thank You Jesus!
When I met my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, I was a mess. I was smoking, drinking and on the verge of divorce. He washed away the junk that both my husband and I had piled up due to having been raised in dysfunctional homes. Jesus gave us a fresh start, a fresh marriage. It was a miracle. He is the God of miracles.
I was raised in an East Indian religion called Sikhism. Although I grew up believing in a god, I always felt an emptiness within me. Meeting and having a personal relationship with the one and only true God, Jesus Christ, was like finding the last piece of the puzzle of my soul. It changed me from the inside out. It’s one reason I’m so passionately in love with Him.
I always have this vision in my heart of Jesus pulling me out of a deep dark well. He pulled me out and then lovingly, gently wiped me clean from the top of my head to the bottom of my toes. His love is real. His grace is overwhelming (in a good way).
Jesus is alive and when we invite Him into our hearts He comes to live inside of us.
There is no other religion that offers the gift of the Holy Spirit like Christianity does. It has been by the power of the Holy Spirit that I have been able to conquer the giants in my life (and still do today). To be the woman of peace, grace and joy that I am today is a miracle in itself. It is all because of Jesus Christ. Oh how I praise His holy and precious name.
My love for Christ is my inspiration for starting this blog. He touched my life so dramatically that now I want to help others break down the walls of deception and live more freely. My hope is to help others on their journey of becoming the man or woman of God they were created to be.
My prayer is that the experiences I share will inspire, challenge and encourage others so that they may live in the abundance of life that Jesus died for them to live.
“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” ~ Jesus (John 10:10)

Hi Tweeny I came across your website as I was exploring the fear and love for God and how they work together. I can now use some of your great points to explain to someone fear is not to be afraid of our Lord but it is to show a deep respect for Him which is also love for His holiness and righteousness. Great work keep it up 🙏🏾
Thank you for your encouragement Rio! God bless you.
