Welcome to Rubble Prayers.

This is where I tell the truth about church trauma, faith after fundamentalism, and the messy, holy work of beginning again.

Here, you’ll find:
- Reflections on healing from church hurt and religious trauma
- Stories of divorce, grief, and rebuilding life
- Gentle, practical ways of parenting after reparenting yourself
- Honest accounts of raising kids with ADHD, autism and chronic illness
- Prayers, blessings, and essays for those still standing in the rubble

If you’ve ever walked away from a church and wondered if God left you…
If you’ve signed divorce papers with shaking hands and a grieving heart…
If you’re determined to raise your kids differently than you were raised…
You belong here.

I’m Abigail - a writer, visual storyteller, Mama of three, remarried and learning to live with a softer faith. I grew up evangelical homeschooled, spent years serving the church, and then found myself in the wreckage of divorce and disillusionment.. Writing is how I piece together meaning, hope and beauty. My words here are simply an offering: prayers from the rubble, for all of us.
