Viral isn't about the number of followers. Meaningful influence comes as the ripple effect of the unsuspecting brave
sitting together,
hoping together, & moving together towards wholeness.
My story's not pretty. Neither is yours. I can't polish it up enough to make others comfortable. It's not convenient and if you knew my family, you might notice a tension of perception and reality. But grace is big enough to cover messy. Grace holds that tension for us if we let it. Grace finds the nooks and crannies in between the lovely lines and sits with the dark shame that gets covered over by time. I am a writer. I am a storyteller. I sit with you by holding my story openhanded to show you that your story is worthy of being given a voice too.
So this is an invitation to settle in for the long haul. To find the beauty as it rises from ashes. To live our lives principled and true to integrity. To not sell our voice to the highest bidder, or silence our witness because of inconvenience. I draw on poetry I write from my own processing, thoughts of what Jesus is teaching me, and questions I'm wrestling with these days as I write and speak. My greatest hope is that as you witness my story, you will find courage to ask and live out your own beautiful, messy journey of restoration.

"Grace shows up in our story and we don't even recognize it as grace because it doesn't fit the stereotype.....and everybody else is getting the cool grace, and we feel forgotten."
