So Glad You’re Here

Hey, I’m Cindy.  Welcome to Enabling Grace!

Here you’ll find encouragement to continue pursuing your faith in Christ and to choose joy through Jesus when you’re in the hardest struggles of life.  The Lord gave me the name of this blog many years ago, long before I realized I would have my own story to share.

No one had ever told me I could be the victor- saved by the grace of God- and life could throw a curveball that would leave me completely broken.  Until, I found myself there.  The Lord has taught me so much in the time that has passed since then and I want to share those lessons with you to help you fight whatever battles you’re facing.

Allow me to introduce myself a bit.  I’m a pastor’s wife; I’ve been married to my best friend, Mark, for almost twenty years.  We have a fur baby, Sweet Pea, that’s spoiled rotten!

I was a special education teacher for sixteen years before my health became such that I had to walk away from my career.  I’ve been living with complex chronic pain and invisible illnesses for many years now. 

Despite all of that, I believe His grace is sufficient!  It’s His grace that enables me daily.
