Why I serve divorced, single, and newly married women specifically...
Nov 02, 2021I grew up in a single parent home. My parents got a divorce when I was two years old. My Mom, siblings, and I moved from our home state of Ohio to the Salt Lake Valley when I was five. Around eight years old I became a resource, and a tool in the hands of God to help my own divorced Mom continue to heal and grow through her life experiences, including her traumatic divorce from my Dad, raising four kids alone, financial stress, feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness.
Throughout the years I have consistently helped her to see and understand her emotions from a different and oftentimes more positive perspective. Fun fact, I am an empath, which means I literally feel other people’s emotions (which is very helpful and challenging all at the same time). I am also highly intuitive have felt God close to me throughout my life, even though when I was young I had yet to learn and articulate what I felt was Him.
Along with feeling a lot of feels, I also highly enjoy teaching and learning a variety of things (cooking, art, beauty, and healing are a few of my most favorite things to both learn and teach about), which topics always helped me better understand self-reliance and our ability to co-create our lives with Jesus Christ.
I am also inclined with my personality to ask a lot of questions, especially questions relating to God and our relationship to Him, why people do what they do and how to better understand the world around us. Because of this combination of asking, feeling, learning, teaching and receiving I have always been able to help my Mom with added insight to her life. Now I serve other divorced women to help them better understand how to navigate their world too.
My Mom has been an absolute light in my life, especially in helping me nurture my natural gifts on intuition and my ability to feel, sense, and work with the unseen world of light and energy around us. Her willingness to teach and also learn with me has changed our lives.
Thanks, Mom. I love you.
All the single ladies, all the single ladies!
I was single until I was 38. I legit thought (and prayed) I would get married at 18 and have 10 babies. Well, that did not happen (I thank God for unanswered prayers quite often!). My entire life all I wanted to be was a Mom though. It was hard not having that opportunity. I cried many a times during my twenties and early thirties because that opportunity was not mine. It took my dear friend, and best sister-in-law Silvia to help me understand I should actually want to be a wife first, ya know before becoming a Mom. I started to pray differently once I understood more about prioritizing being a wife over motherhood, which allowed me to start to heal and feel differently while being single too.
Side note: growing up without a Dad definitely skewed some thought processes about men, marriage and family.
In my early thirties I also recognized two things, first, I had major trust issues with pretty much everyone, including myself, my family, and pretty much all guys and there was an absolute reason I was single. I was the one who was unwilling to let anyone get close. Yikes, humble pie moment. Second, I was so odd when it came to how I acted when I liked guys, I was unsure how I could find someone who liked me for me and who I would be comfortable being myself around.
I questioned God about my “eternal family” for years, as well as experiencing plenty of self-created awkward moments with men (crushes and men I dated) that had me questioning whether or not I was even made for marriage.
Since first meeting my husband Cable in 2018 though, I have learned so much about what I didn’t know I didn't know, and even what I didn't know that I thought I knew about relationships and men. Relationships are mind boggling to me still. Also, since meeting Cable I have learned I am autistic. Which literally was the most comforting news ever, because I finally understood why I thought, felt, and did all the weird things I did!
Being single until my late thirties gave me time to get to know myself and the Lord.
I met Cable when I was 35. We were set-up on a date by a woman in my ward (Thanks, Sister Gee!) and dated a little over two years before getting married. Our first date was "meh", yet we found each other intriguing so we kept going on more dates. I was in awe of how comfortable I was with him. We got engaged in January 2020 and decided on a Saturday in March we both felt prompted we should get married as soon as possible (thanks 2020 Utah earthquake and worldwide pandemic for speeding the marriage process up). We began our married life the following Tuesday.
Wedding “Yes’s” happened thanks to a VERY accommodating Bishop, loving and understanding family and Zoom.
Getting married later in life, while being independent for many years, and then learning I was autistic made for A VERY TRYING and yet exciting first year of marriage. Often we both questioned “what have we done?!” or “why did we get married?”. Marriage, specifically the part of learning to communicate openly and honestly about my own thoughts and feelings, while being open to hearing and having compassion for Cable’s thoughts and feelings hasbeen the most challenging, and yet absolutely wonderful to learn how to do.
We have both grown and changed a lot since meeting one another. We have learned how to better support, encourage, and listen to one another. We have learned when we think the other person is “so different” than us, that in all actuality they are exactly the same. We have found we do the same things, only in different ways. Oh the fun it was to realize some of my greatest annoyances with my husband are actually fully lived annoying traits within myself.
Marriage is the most humbling and amazing experience I could have ever imagined.
I remember in 2017, before moving back to Utah from my beloved Tucson, Arizona, I actually felt like asking God again for the opportunity to get married, because I felt I was at a spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical standstill with my personal growth. Marriage felt like the next logical step to teach me what I needed to know. Oh how God has delivered growth opportunities over and over again for me whilst dating and now being married. I had no idea I needed to learn so much! Ha! The refinement process my friend is no joke. Learning to let go of the “natural Sarah” and become one with Cable, as we are both individually and collectively striving to become one with God is the greatest adventure
I never knew I needed. We are still marriage newbies, yet learning everyday!
I love sharing the lessons I experience in life as I am learning to also be “The Intuitive Woman”.
If you decide to learn with me in any capacity, I promise I will constantly strive to share Jesus’ light, love, and hope with you through all the work I do.
Love & Peace,
Sarah
