Have you seen this movie called “Christian Mingle”? I watched it last night on Netflix with my grandma and surprisingly it wasn’t one of those super cheesy Christian movies. Alright, there was a bit of cheese, but basically it’s about Gwyneth, this single, 30-something year old woman who signed onto Christian Mingle (a dating site…
Resting At His Feet
After four months of living abroad, it is good to be home. Although, to be honest, in some ways it doesn’t feel like I am home. The people I used to know quite well have changed, and the rhythm of life I navigated once so naturally has become like a strange tune to my ears.…
Ciao From Italia
This post is long over-due, but Princesses, I am in Italy right now. Since January, I’ve been here in a creativity school for missions, and next month, I’ll travel to another country for a month to use what I’ve learned. This is a dream! I’m in a community of artists, dancers, and musicians, and we…
When God Gave Me Some Really Good News
This morning was wild. I woke-up with my mom telling me she had to take my godmother to the hospital because she was experiencing extreme vertigo. Five hours later, my mom returned only to get a phone call from my grandma telling us she thought she might be having a stroke. It turns out she…
Magazines, Kings and What Happened At Seventeen
Have you ever felt like people really looked up to you? That you were admired, influential, and let’s face it, downright popular? Yeah, I wasn’t that person in middle school. I was an official GERD: a geek/nerd. I was not cool, by any means, but there was a big desire in me to belong. Actually,…

Happy 2nd Anniversary to TAYP
I’m excited! Today, we officially finished our second year at TAYP. Also, I’m surprised we made it this far. In 2013, when God asked me to start this blog, I promised Him I would do it only for a year. That’s all. One year. There were so many times I wanted to stop writing that…
The Promises of Your God
God makes promises. His promises are life to those who have forgotten how to live. His promises are hope to those who have been crushed in defeat. His promises are a gift to those who have been robbed of much. His promises are kept and never leave His mouth without fulfilling its purpose. Have you…

The Undeserving Gift of Peace
I have been overwhelmed again. This year, I have been praying for God to give me more clients in my job because it has been a hard year financially. I was hoping that maybe He would give me a new client every other month; I need a space between clients because of the workload. Unfortunately,…
Believe It or Not, You Are Beautiful
Hey, you! Yes, you there, trying to hide your face behind all that make-up and your body under those perfect clothes. I see you and you are beautiful. Without all of it. You are beautiful before you put on the right outfit. You are beautiful before you do anything to your hair. You are beautiful…
