About Me
Hello! I’m Allison, a Christian entrepreneur, homeschooling mom of five, and proud military wife. I have a passion to help people in this difficult life the best way I know how- Gods word! God inspired the idea of LoVerb during the hardest time of my life, as I experienced severe postpartum depression after our 4th child. My husband was active duty military and working toward his degree, our other children were still toddlers, and our newborn son was born with a severe heart condition. He was in the hospital more than he was home, needed dangerous round-the-clock medications, and his tiny heart stopped beating on multiple occasions. I developed severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even began contemplating suicide. Worst of all, the attacks of the enemy seemed to grow louder and stronger than the truth of God’s word. As a lifelong believer, feeling separated from Jesus was devastating. It seemed the voices in my head wanted nothing more than to see me crumble under the weight; but God had different plans for me.
When traditional treatments failed, I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to “take every thought captive” with an easily digestible phrase…”Did God say that?” In His wisdom, He knew that I didn’t have the time or mental capacity to consume a long Bible study, or spend hours in his word- I was barely functioning as it was. I placed post-it notes of my newfound phrase around the house, on mirrors, doors, cabinets, etc., and I quickly noticed myself snapping out of the mental bondage. In addition, the Holy Spirit directed me to display verses in key areas of my environment, so I could read and declare them out loud. Thanks to God’s gentle guidance, the depression and anxiety weakened, and the “peace that passes all understanding” washed over me once again (Philippians 4:7). Upon seeing the change, my family and friends wanted to know what treatment method was causing this miracle. I was thrilled to share that my healing came through the greatest power of all, the living Word of God! Like David says in Psalm 51:12, He was truly “restoring the joy of my salvation.” My healing started with baby steps- little reminders of God’s promises, which developed into deeper studies and revelation.
To my surprise, I couldn’t find many of the Bible Verse stickers I wanted to memorize, which sparked the idea for LoVerb Ministries. God commanded the Israelites in Deuteronomy 6:5-9, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.” As a result of practicing this command, and by the grace of God, I have been free of mental illness, and full of the Joy of The Lord since 2014. Jesus Christ also miraculously healed our son, who is now free of medication and has no residual effects from his illness or treatment. Don’t get me wrong, living in a fallen world has endless challenges. We are guaranteed to suffer, but we also have a very present help in Jesus, in The Bible, and with the Holy Spirit as our counselor.I pray you’ll join me on my mission to bring God’s word to the forefront of our minds, to declare His promises over ourselves, our family and friends, and our circumstances. May you experience God’s profound Love as a verb; as living, breathing, vibrant words in action.
