She Chose Love

She Chose Love

What started as a search for knowledge became a guide to Love—not the romanticized version we’ve been taught, but Love in its truest form: patient, kind, and unfailing. After a lifetime of people-pleasing, abandonment, trauma, and grief, Christina Mae found herself face down in the ashes of everything she thought love was. But instead of giving up—she looked up. To the one who had never stopped loving her. She Chose Love is a powerful and deeply personal exploration of what it means to return to the kind of Love that heals. Guided by the words of 1 Corinthians 13, Christina walks readers through a raw and transformative journey of spiritual awakening, emotional unlearning, and self-rediscovery. Each chapter examines a characteristic of divine love—patience, kindness, humility, truth, perseverance—and contrasts it with the shame-based love so many of us are taught to accept. With heartfelt storytelling, practical reflections, and daily affirmations, this book is more than a memoir. It is a mirror for anyone who has ever questioned their worth, carried guilt, or tried to earn love in all the wrong places. Christina draws from decades of lived experience, including her time as a single mother, ordained minister, caregiver, and trauma survivor. With degrees in Psychology and Computer Drafting and a professional background in civil engineering, dementia care, end-of-life support, and community service, she weaves together wisdom both intellectual and intuitive. She Chose Love invites readers to take off their masks, confront their shame, and remember who they were before the world told them who to be. This book will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss, spiritual disconnection, or the quiet ache of not being chosen—and dares to believe that healing is still possible. Because the truth is, Love never left. And when you choose it—fully, finally, fearlessly— You realize… it had already chosen you.
