I never expected to become a full-time writer, (no, seriously). Writing was always something I did for myself, whether journaling my thoughts or writing plays and stories for school to pass my classes.While I loved these assignments- especially scriptwriting- the idea of writing books or blogging seemed so far-fetched. I always thought my writing would stay just for me, a way to express myself privately through my trials and tribulations. Even though I had some cool ideas, hearing my work out loud was embarrassing. It was this weird, mixed feeling of wow, that’s my work coming to life to feel my face blush with self-consciousness.
But God, in His infinite wisdom, sent REAL prophets, (I like to emphasize real because there’s so many false prophets out here whom God didn’t call), to speak into my life and ACCURATELY gave a word that confirmed what God told me; needless to say, writing was apart of my destiny.
As I look back on my journey, I’ve realized that writing isn’t about perfection. For so long, I thought that if I wasn’t perfect at writing, I wasn’t good enough (The Devil is a liar). The more I strived for ‘perfection,’ the more flawed I became. But now, I’ve embraced the fact that mistakes are a part of growth. What I love most about my journey is that I’m no longer afraid to make mistakes and learn from them.
God has inspired my writing because He called me to do it. It’s His voice and the Holy Spirit guiding me and the plans that He has for my life that keep me moving forward. What fuels my creativity is God’s hand on all the projects I undertake. My “yes” to God, my love for the craft, and my understanding that God is using me to reach His people. It’s no longer about being selfish- it’s about fulfilling God’s purpose through my work. And for this, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world!
My mission is to be unapologetically creative, using the gifts and talents God has entrusted to me. (And that’s on Matthew 25). I strive to create quality work that aligns with His purpose, sharing the message He places on my heart through every project. It’s my goal to inspire and motivate others to write, encourage them to seek God so they know they’re taking the correct path in this craft, and to help them enjoy what they’re doing.
My vision is to empower and uplift others to embrace their creative God- given talents, to understand that they are impactful, and that they too can use their gifts to make a difference in the world. Through my work, I aim to create a community of writers (and even artists) who are confident in sharing their gift with the world, fueled by faith, purpose, discernment, and the love of God and the desire to help others.
This entire website wouldn’t exist without this section, and I mean that. My dearest sister and friend, Francesca, would always remind me that in all things- relationships, schooling, jobs, career paths- God must be at the center. So, if God is meant to be in the midst of everything I do, why would I leave Him out of my creative projects and legacy? Honoring God and giving Him His own space to praise is the least I can do.
My gifts wouldn’t be anything if it weren’t for God. Every talent, every idea, every Aha moment, every word I write- it all comes from Him. Without His guidance and wisdom, my creativity wouldn’t have any purpose.
I also want to use this space to document my walk with God. It hasn’t been an easy one, but in the midst of the chaos, He continues to make my life beautiful. There are things I’ve experienced and lessons I’ve been taught and I want to share them with you–I know you have your own experiences, both good and bad, in your faith journey.
What you’ll find here are raw testimonies of my hardships and the breakthroughs that followed, scriptures that God has led me to meditate on, and words that He has instructed me to share.
Before posting, I will seek God in prayer to ensure He approves of what I say– I wouldn’t want to spill my life experiences onto others without His guidance. After all, placing a moldy orange in a bushel of fresh fruit will only spread the mold and ruin the rest.
I am excited for this journey- our journey together in Christ- and I can’t wait to see how much we grow!
