The Author

I'm a single girl who likes to whoop and holler, practice kindness, live adventurously, sing stories, and pray. Over the years, I've adored being a youth pastor to some of the most amazing teenagers on the planet. And my work in TV/Film Production continues to inspire good stories and surprisingly rich friendships. Oh, And I also like to dance in the streets. Real talk.

Proud of you. @lellowprincess 😘 In other news, 23 days until...🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 - #thismessagebroughttoyoubycapitalone

She texted me to check, to see how I was. She had so tenderly marked the date on her phone. A friendship I don’t know what I did to deserve.
-
I did cry this week.
-
If you gave me a hug this week and wondered why I leaned in a little bit more or held on a little too tightly...
-
It’s because I’ll always know within every fiber of my being, how special and fleeting this life is. And when you get a chance to hear someone’s story, do it. And when you hold someone, mean it. And when you kiss someone, be all there and no where else.

People are the true gift. It’s never the things.

The ESPYS were my dad’s favorite show. He never asked me for anything in life, other than for me to be exactly who God created me to be...and tickets to the ESPYS 😂 . The latter was accomplished on more than one occasion—I’m still working on the former.

July 17th. Love you & miss you, Dad. x .

Nick! This was the best way for me to celebrate you AND connect you to my UK 🇬🇧 Family!! So U.K. fam: this is one of my absolute favorites and one of my ‘ride or die’, friends, Nick (also know as “Not Kyle”....He’s a twin 😊) - Nick will be in London for the first time in about a week’s time !! And I want him to meet you all!! @ccflondon if you see him on a Sunday can you give him some extra love 😍 @ayannagrey I’ll connect us all via WhatsApp soon. If you are tagged in this photo it’s because I love you and I value you and want my trusted friends to connect with you as well. No pressure though!! But I know there’s about to be some divine appointments up in here! ✨😍 @nicholasjmoon I’m so excited for you! So sad that we just miss each other in London by mere days! But let the adventure begin! xo 🙌🏾

Flashback!
⚡️
So I don’t always get to visit my LA home church, now that I live further away, but when I do, I always get to run into at least 2 of my kids — Like today 😍. (Hi Ashley! Hi Gonny! Hi Matthew! Hi Garrett! Hi Bryce: I saw the back of your head 😂)
✨
And I just think of the kindness of God during that time of my life when I had the privilege of being a youth pastor. These kids (now young adults!!) have shaped me in more ways than they’ll ever know.
✨
This photo is only 3 years old! But so much has changed: One kid in this photo is now an engineer major and jumps out of airplanes almost on the regular, one kid in this photo is now a DJ and model, one kid in this photo is now an actor, one kid in this photo is an accomplished golf player, and one youth leader in this photo is about to have her very first babyyyy!
✨
But more than that, all of these faces are still grounded and rooted in the love of God, and that just makes my heart feel full.
💛
Our lives are full of seasons. And often it’s in retrospect that we understand the significance and the struggle of certain seasons. And also the true beauty of those areas that we had to step out, even when we were scared.
✨
This photo was taken at our summer youth retreat in 2014, where each person/kid took the time to pray and receive a word of encouragement (prophetic word or image) for those that had reached out to us for prayer on Facebook.
✨
It was incredible to see what these kids + teens received and wrote down (or drew) for their people.
✨
Needless to say, God did some amazing things on this particular youth retreat. And I won’t soon forget. And I have a feeling that neither will those that saw their unique word of encouragement in their time of need.
✨
However you might be feeling about your upcoming week, I feel so strongly to say to you: “Do not despise the day of small beginnings...” 💛

To all my friends here: Can you let me know what your Enneagram number is in the comments below 🙃
-
I’m doing an experiment and possibly trying to prep for your Christmas gifts 😂 Please don’t be shy. -
@bmoss: I took the Enneagram test again today via the Enneagram Institute site and got the same results! My 3 and 2 were basically tied for first 🤪)
-
Literally everyone I know has been talking about this personality test. And although each of us are unique in our own way, it’s fascinating to find out more behind why we do what we do. These tests are also helpful as you journey towards emotional and spiritual health.
-
To note, this particular personality test is easier for me to digest than others for some reason. There are just 9 numbered personality types listed but a lot of depth described for each, and some crossover and other connections.
✨
And for those that have no idea what I’m talking about, just Google “Enneagram Institute”- @bmoss do you have a link to a good free test (I can’t remember the one we used)?
If so, could you post it in the comments. I think a lot of folks would benefit from it 😍 (The one on the EI site has a fee)
-
So yes, my #Enneagram number is 3 (“The Achiever”) with a strong wing 2 (“The Helper”) - What’s yours?...
