Have you ever had your entire life flip in a single moment?
In 2012, I was a store manager enjoying an ordinary Saturday night when everything changed. What started as a normal evening helping customers and chatting with families turned into an armed robbery and abduction. In an instant, I was faced with life-or-death decisions I never imagined I’d have to make.
That night didn’t just shake my world — it became the first chapter of my story—a story of resilience, courage, and ultimately, healing through shared stories.
Years later, in 2021, I was stopped in my tracks by a message I knew was not my own. I had my hand on the refrigerator when everything went still. I didn’t move. I listened. It was God — steady, unmistakable, and clear — saying, “It’s time to share your story, Jen.”
That moment changed everything.
And that’s when I Need Blue was born — a space where real stories of struggle, hope, and triumph meet the steady hand of God, inspiring connection, understanding, and growth. As we share openly, healing spreads, and no one must walk their journey alone.
