If you feel like you’ve been tired lately from so many closed doors, broken places, plans falling through, opportunities that seem to slip away

faster than you can blink, this is for you. It’s time to take another chance, on love, on opportunities, on the dream that God’s given you.
I don’t care how old you are, how many times your heart has been broken, it’s time to take another chance, because fear is STILL a liar... 

Why Are You So Thirsty? 

It’s a funny slang word that everyone knows is not the best compliment.

 “Oh, she’s thirsty” or “That girl is thirsty”

In a recent NY Times article, thirsty was defined as “slang, described as graceless need for approval, affection or attention, one so raw that it creeps people out.”

It calls to mind the panting tongues, bulging eyeballs, springing hearts and steam-shooting ears of Looney Toons characters....

Recently I got asked to write an article for the international ministry

as a guest on their Women Wednesdays. 

My immediate prayer: “Lord, what do I write?”

   I sat down and just started to write exactly what I felt in my soul.

Lately I’ve been going against the grain and pushing back on things in my life, like:

pleasing people

always being available

keeping my phone with me on the regular (actually I still do that)

and caring s...

December 2017: 

We were sitting in a Panera in Birmingham, and I was sipping on black coffee, staring out the window...

I told her, "I wanted them to know from the beginning why I was unqualified..." and like a song I had sung a million times by heart, I just spit out five reasons faster than she was able to digest them all. 

   "Wait, wait. Go back. Now what?", she reached across the table and grabbed my pen and opened up my jou...

In tears as I write the beginning of this redemption story that will blow your mind. A letter to my ex-Mother In-Law and the redemption in our relationship following the aftermath of brokenness. ...The healing has taken place, and WE ARE ALL FREE. Where it looked like an impossible fix, God came in like it was nothing. And just LIKE THAT, fixed every little detail and restored it beyond what I imagined.   I may not be your d...

On this day in 2018, a girl who was originally never going to tell a soul, sat in the hustle and bustle of lower Manhattan, on a national radio show, and told God's story in her life about having an abortion and being forgiven. Now that, my friends, is a miracle.

18 days before another tragedy struck NYC as a truck ran over bikers on the NYC bike path, I was biking along that very same path, and in the beginning of the day I posted something on Instagram as I joked about "praying for us not to get hit". My sister Heather usually has to keep me informed on national news because sometimes I miss a lot of what is happening because of my schedule and forgetting to check news.

How many times do you look at your phone every day? Statistics say: Those between the ages of 18 and 24 look at their phones most often, with an average of 74 checks per day.

Americans in the 25-34 age bracket look at their devices 50 times per day, and those between 35 and 44 do so 35 times each day.

So the answer is a LOT 

    So why not have something amazing on your lock screen to encourage you. 

I will share new one...

I was just having a conversation with a friend about the absolute wonder my life has been the last couple of months with all of the incredible opportunity I've had and people I have met. We talked about the effortless knock of faith and God opening an adventure more divine than I have even known what to do with.

I could start with a list of people I’ve been meeting the past couple weeks…

My friend asked,
