Hi, I’m Gloria — the heart and story behind Restored by Grace. I’m a Jesus-loving mama, creator, and homemaker who has learned to cling to God’s goodness through both the sweetest moments and the hardest valleys. From making soaps and candles to playing piano, homeschooling my kids, and building my small businesses, I’ve seen how God meets us in the everyday and covers each season with His transforming grace.

This book comes from my blog, a place where I’ve poured out real life — the broken pieces, the healing, the lessons, and the quiet ways God restores what felt lost. I’m far from perfect, but I’ve learned that grace isn’t just a gift… it’s a lifeline. It’s the gentle reminder that God can rebuild any story and breathe hope into places we thought were finished.

My prayer is that as you read, you feel encouraged, lifted, and wrapped in the same grace that has carried me. Thank you for being here and walking this journey of restoration with me.
