About

Hi! Welcome to Charity Changes Things.

My name is Charity.

Charity is a pretty uncommon name nowadays. I think I have only met one other Charity in my whole life. And of course, I could never find a cute keychain or pencil with my name on it as a kid. Talk about childhood disappointment!….

But as I got older, I came to appreciate my name and the meaning behind it. It means “love”.

In my 35 years, one thing I have truly learned is that love changes things. The love of my children and my love for them; the love of my husband, family, and friends; the love I have for myself (sometimes a work in progress) and for others; and most of all, the amazing love of God… all of these in their many different forms and fashions, have changed me.

We all know that life is full of changes, but I think I have experienced the most changes within myself over the past three years or so.  These past years have included extreme lows and highs, and have left me questioning everything at times. About life, about myself, and even about God….

But I know that I have come out stronger, though there is still much growth and healing to come, I’m sure. I have begun to see things with new perspectives, and I feel inspired to share at this point in my life. 

One of the biggest areas that I have experienced change within has been my relationship with God and my study of the Bible. I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always loved reading the Bible. However, I think that sometimes life experiences, especially the really hard ones, can chip away at what we’ve always known to be true. And sometimes something even more true and more beautiful can be found underneath.

I’m honored to share some of the beauty that I have found with you, in hopes that you will be inspired and encouraged, as I have been. I’ll also be sharing some about my personal mental health journey; things I’m learning as a mother, wife, and just as a person; and also some general day-to-day thoughts and life events as well.

Life is always changing.

Love always changes things.

And I’m changing too…

I’m Charity. I hope you’ll join me on this journey. <3
