about the writer

If you watch the moon at night, smile irrepressible...

If your heart has danced...

If you have laughed and loved and lived with abandon...

If you've counted gifts of grace to one thousand and beyond...

If you've found love-notes every where...

If you've danced in the rain...

If you've picked flowers and run barefoot in green grass...

If fireflies make your heart summersault...

If you've sung to an Audience of One...

If you've done a good job...

If you've been praised...

If you've blessed someone's life...

If you've waited for His timing...

If you've trusted Him with everything you are...

If you have cried till there were no more tears inside...

If your highs and lows could put a roller coaster to shame....

If you've made mistakes...

If you've hurt someone else...

If your heart has broken...

If you have wished there was a way out of the pain...

If everything that gave you purpose was swept out from under you...

If you have wondered what God was doing...

If you have battled depression and anxiety...

If you've held God at arms length, too scared to let Him hold you...

If you have felt inferior...

If your best has not seemed good enough...

If you have been lonely...

If you have hidden behind a smile...

If you've wondered if you'll ever make it...

If you feel like a complete mess...

If everyone looks like they are miles ahead of you...

If you've gone to bed late and slept in too long...

If you're not all you know you should be...

If you wonder what God thinks of you...

...if sometimes all you can do is just hold on...

...this girl can relate.

I'm real.

I'm human.

I'm just like you.

And God loves us both with an

unconditional. undestoryable. wretch-embracing love.

I just want to tell you about it.

I owe much of my experience to friends of Grace. Those who have prayed me through the darkness. Held me when I was afraid of His arms. Had faith for me when I had none. Told me again and again what He looked like when I couldn't see. Promised me I would rise again. Told me their stories and shared their healing with me. And treated me better than I deserved. In a big way this blog is dedicate to them. It's my way of saying thank you with the life that, through Jesus, they gave back to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
