About Me

Hi, I’m Jana. Welcome to: From the Pit to His Purpose.

My life has been a journey through brokenness, addiction, pain, recovery, healing, and ultimately redemption. For many years, I tried to survive life on my own strength. I found myself in places I never imagined I would be, and there were times when the pit felt so deep that I couldn’t see a way out.

But God could.

Jesus met me in some of the darkest places of my life. He didn’t just help me climb out of the pit—He began showing me that even the parts of my story I wished I could erase could be redeemed and used for His purpose.

Today, my life looks very different. I’m a wife, a mom, a grandma and a woman who loves Jesus with all my heart. My faith, my family, and the life God has given me mean more to me than I can put into words. I’m still growing, still healing, and still learning to trust God one day at a time.

I created From the Pit to His Purpose because I know what it feels like to believe your story is too broken, too messy, or too far gone. I also know what it feels like when Jesus steps into that story and begins making something beautiful from it.

Here I’ll share pieces of my story, what God is teaching me, thoughts on faith and recovery, and encouragement for anyone who may be walking through their own difficult season.

My prayer is that something you read here reminds you that your past does not have to define your future. No pit is too deep for God’s grace, and no story is beyond His ability to redeem.

This is my story—but His glory. ❤️
