"Bleeding mothers give birth to dead daughters. Bleeding churches give birth to dead generations. Healed churches restore nations & generations." - Esmeralda Ridilla, Founder & Director of Emerald of the Sea

8 years ago, Emerald of the Sea was just a seed of hope planted in faith. 💎

Now, after 8 years of walking with survivors through heartbreak, healing, restoration, and freedom… we stand in awe of what God has done.

We have cried together.
We have celebrated breakthroughs together.
We have watched women reclaim their voice, worth, identity, and purpose.

From healing groups… to retreats… to leadership development… to sisterhood… every story matters. Every Emerald matters. 💚

And the most beautiful part?

We are only getting started. 🌊✨

Thank you to every survivor, donor, volunteer, board member, mentor, sponsor, prayer partner, and supporter who has been part of this journey. Because of you, women are finding hope, healing, and freedom.

Here’s to the next chapter of Emerald of the Sea.
Healing generations. Restoring nations. 💎

🌸✨ Our Secret Garden in Lubbock ✨🌸

What a beautiful and fruitful day it was at The Secret Garden 🌿🤍

We are so grateful to every sponsor, volunteer, and woman who said yes and made this experience possible. From therapeutic art, to worship, to meaningful table conversations… there was truly healing and hope in the room.

It was a day for wildflowers to see their resilience in a new way. 🌸

We’re already seeing women take next steps into the Emerald of the Sea program and future experiences like our fall retreat, and that is so powerful.

This gathering marked a special milestone in Lubbock, building on the seeds that have already been sown through the support of this community. 💗🌿

A few beautiful faces are missing from this photo, but the impact of this day is something we will never forget.

The garden is growing… and we are just getting started ✨

Looking for Art Sponsors for The Secret Garden 🌿🌸🎨

We are currently looking for a couple of art sponsors for The Secret Garden. 🌿

One of the most meaningful parts of this day is the creative reflection time, where women are able to process, heal, and express what God is doing in their hearts through art. 🎨🌸

We want to fully provide all supplies so every woman can participate freely. 🌿

We are inviting 2 sponsors who would like to partner with us by giving $100 each to help cover the cost of these materials. 🤍

Your support would directly create space for a woman to experience healing, reflection, and encouragement in a tangible way. 🌷

If that is something you or your business would be interested in, I would love to connect.

You can also give directly here:
