About me
"You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water." -Psalm 63:1
My name is Renee Sauter. I am a Catholic, wife, mom, and believer that God can truly use all things to bring good for those who love Him. In late 2021, I faced a dark season of life that left me questioning everything I had once thought was beautiful and good, including God himself. Life as I knew it fell apart and I was left feeling lost, defeated, disconnected from and angry at God, and (if I am being honest) skeptical that life amounted to anything more than being put on earth to suffer without reason. I couldn't see the forest through the trees. But there are no coincidences when it comes to God and His providence, and in hindsight I now see that even the very bitterness I carried in my heart was a tool He used for His glory and to draw me closer to Him than I ever knew possible.
With my experiences as a Christian (a Protestant for 15 years and now Catholic-convert), my life-long love of psychology (I hold a BS in Psychology and am currently pursuing an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling), and lessons from the ups and downs of my own life experiences, I hope to help other woman who are walking through the desert of suffering to start seeing the footprints of Jesus in the sand and find their way back to Him, closer than ever before. I KNOW that through prayer, a diligent desire for God's will, and a humble willingness to look inward, growth is possible. Hope is not lost; there can be beauty even amidst suffering.
