Hi, I’m Shay.
I’m so glad you found your way here.
I’m a wife, a mother of five, a writer, and most importantly, a follower of Jesus. Like many women, my life hasn’t unfolded exactly as I imagined. I’ve walked through seasons of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, unanswered prayers, and days when simply getting out of bed felt like an act of faith.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:
God does some of His deepest work in the valleys.
That’s where Breath & Bone was born.
The name comes from one of my favorite passages in Scripture—Ezekiel 37—where God breathes life into a valley of dry bones. It’s a beautiful reminder that no situation is too broken, no heart too weary, and no life beyond His ability to restore.
Here you’ll find biblical encouragement, honest reflections, Bible studies, devotionals, and resources created to point your heart back to Christ. My prayer is that every word reminds you of God’s faithfulness and helps you discover hope, even in life’s hardest seasons.
I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t pretend to have everything figured out. I’m simply a woman learning to trust Jesus one day at a time and inviting others to walk beside me.
Whether you’ve arrived here because you’re carrying grief, living with chronic illness, wrestling with anxiety, searching for hope, or simply longing to know God more deeply, I want you to know this:
You are seen.
You are deeply loved.
And God is not finished with your story.
So welcome.
Take a deep breath.
Stay awhile.
I pray that when you leave this space, you’ll carry with you a little more hope than you had when you arrived.
With love,
Shay
