Hi, I’m
Mirtha Jacques.
I write for the heart that’s learning to trust God while hurting.
Welcome to my little corner of encouragement—a place for honest stories, faith, and hope for the season you’re in.
Get to know me
My story
From Haiti to Georgia,
carried by faith.
I was born in Haiti, and my journey eventually brought me to Georgia. Along the way, my life has been shaped by family, motherhood, unexpected challenges, and a faith that continues to grow through every season.
I know what it’s like to love God and still have questions. To pray while feeling tired. To hold on to hope when life looks different from what you imagined.
My story includes painful chapters, but it also holds moments of grace, courage, and joy. Writing gives me a way to share those experiences and remind someone else that they don’t have to carry everything alone.
I’m still learning, still growing, and still trusting God with what comes next.
You don’t have to hide your pain to prove your faith.
The heart behind my work
Words for real life.
Honest faith
Room for prayer, questions, tears, and the everyday choice to keep trusting God.
Encouragement
Gentle reminders that your life matters, your story has value, and hope is still worth holding on to.
Connection
Stories and reflections that help us feel less alone in motherhood, relationships, and seasons of change.

The Joy
Behind the Scars
Trusting God Through Every Season
Faith. Family. Motherhood. Hope.
Why I wrote my memoir
Sharing the story
behind the scars.
In The Joy Behind the Scars: Trusting God Through Every Season, I share my journey through difficult experiences and the faith that has carried me.
My hope is that these pages offer encouragement to anyone trying to trust God in the middle of their own story. You don’t need to have all the answers to take the next step in faith.

Dearest Mirtha
Sometimes you need more than a post or a page in a book. You need space to share what’s on your heart and receive a thoughtful response.
Through Dearest Mirtha, I offer personal letters of faith-filled encouragement in English, Haitian Creole, and French. It’s another way I hope to meet people with compassion and care.
