Welcome to Soul Cries
Created within each one of us are critical needs that cry out to be met. Do I matter? Is there more to this life than all the pain? Is there a God, and if so does he care? The purpose of this space is simple – I’ve met and daily walk with the Creator. My experience with him is that he knows who I am, sees what I’ve been through, and cares more than I can imagine; and he’s powerful and loving enough to transform me in my messes. He’s given me great hope and has called me to share within this space what I’ve experienced and how you too can experience hope through union with him. Want to know more? I would suggest reading these blog posts first. They will help you to get to know both me and him a bit better.

About Robin L Seaton
Christian Author, Blogger, and Storyteller
Deep within, I’ve cried out to be known and loved for who I am. I’ve longed for safety in a not so safe world. I’ve questioned why I’m here and what my purpose for being here really is. Most of my life I’ve sought belonging in a world where I don’t always seem to fit. I daily long for a hope more sturdy than the “if I believe it hard enough I can make it happen” that quickly falls apart. In this space I share through storytelling and music how I have found One who stills my questions with his presence and grants peace when there are no quick answers. One who backs hope with his power and extraordinary kindness.

Just over eight years ago, I became the third mom to my new husband’s adopted sons. In the early years of our marriage, family life little resembled peaceful co-existence.

Also, we each brought with us traumatized sons who had no desire to become a loving blended family...
A Look Inside My Anti-Anxiety Toolbox
A blogpost featured on Living By Design Ministries
I sat in the parking lot watching Christmas shoppers come and go like bees from a hive—hurrying to finish their shopping and get out of the weather.
I wanted a peaceful Christmas for my son, our first since my husband had passed.
