My name is Sarah Beckham-Marshall and I am a wife, mother of 2, and licensed mortician in the state of Michigan. Since before I can remember I have been fascinated by theology and how we experience the Divine. I was raised Baptist, but felt myself being pulled to some faith unknown at a young age. I spent years researching just about every religion under the sun, desperate to find a faith that spoke to my heart. Throughout all of my spiritual endeavors, I always felt a pull towards the Catholic Church and to Our Blessed Mother, especially in my own motherhood, but never fully committed to conversion. During a particularly dark time in my life, I found myself crying my way through the rosary. I remember not knowing what could possibly make my awful situation any better, so I just opened my broken heart and prayed "please help me". Clear as day, I felt the Lord lay on my heart one simple instruction: "give it to me". From that day forward I committed to giving myself radically to the Lord and the healing He has done in my heart and my life is nothing short of astonishing. I am beyond thrilled to join His Church and further fill my heart and my family with His presence. I don't have much free time (my son is 2 yrs old and my daughter is only 7 weeks!) but when I do I love to read, bake, make rosaries and other crafts, listen to true crime podcasts, and play video games with my equally nerdy husband.
